This occurred to me this morning, too. I think its safe to say that had Mark Ingram not decided to just duck for the sidelines, it's a really good possibility that we beat Tampa and actually show up for Carolina with a legit chance at winning this horrible division. I think we have to make a play at Derek Carr and hope the Bucs are saddled with trying to re-sign Jamies Winston. I don't know. I'm in the bush, man, outside the perimeter. I'm on ambush, and my ammo's low...Thank God it's almost baseball season.

The problem with this is that you have to cripple the cap for the next several years just to sign him. You would then need to continue kicking the can as long as he is here because of the investment in him. Part of the danger for kicking the can down the road is you completely wipe out your depth; and this is the reason why injuries for the Saints have such a drastic effect compared to other teams.
FYI, $30M a year puts him around the 10th highest paid in 2023. This also doesn't account for the contract Lamar, Burrow (if extended this offseason), and Garoppolo are expected to demand. IMO, Saints cannot afford to get into that type of bidding war until they start addressing the cap and roster depth.
