I'd be ok if the money would allow them to move in 2 yrs if it's a disaster.

"The Saints haven’t found any consistency at quarterback in the two seasons since Drew Brees retired. Head coach Dennis Allen hasn’t gone back to Jameis Winston despite Andy Dalton’s struggles, so their quarterback of the future very clearly isn’t on the roster.

The Saints also don’t own a first-round pick — though maybe a Sean Payton trade changes that? — so they aren’t assured of a top prospect in the draft. Allen can’t afford another season of offensive disarray and assume his job would be safe in 2024. Meanwhile, the top free agents, Tom Brady and Garoppolo, make better sense for other teams.

So unless the Saints are going to make a run at someone like Zach Wilson or hope Hendon Hooker falls to them in the second round, they’ve got to make a run at someone like Carr to spark an offense that has weapons but has been dormant for too long.

I’d offer the Saints’ second-round pick, which is currently projected to be 41st overall. And quite frankly, because the Saints are short on options and can’t continue spinning the QB roulette wheel, I’d add two or three Day 3 picks — let’s say fourth- and fifth-rounders — to get it done in case anyone else is offering something comparable to No. 41. — Jeff Howe"

WR room under performs. Olave and Shaheed have been bright spots.

TE has been a wasteland. Johnson the only promising player. Ben Watson maybe the last productive Tight End?

RB. Kamara then not much else.

Derek Carr isn't going to help all the dead weight the Saints are dragging around on offense.

Let’s grab Carr. We need someone with a pulse at qb or this will be years of a shitty team

After that, give me Dalton. The others are better, but none are long term solutions and you'd have to pay a lot to get them to have the fan base hold out hope for a few more years before addressing the cap. Dalton lets you start addressing the cap hole and still find your future in the draft.


I think if Loomis is looking longer term rebuild this is what he does. If he's looking for short term wins he will over pay for a QB.
