Carr is staying with the Saints after the quarterback restructures his contract

The Saints restructured Carr's contract on Saturday, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed — a move that all but guarantees he'll be the team’s starter next season.
By converting most of Carr's base salary into a signing bonus, the restructure can go a long way toward helping the Saints become cap compliant in time for the start of the NFL’s new league year starting Wednesday.
The Saints were more than $40 million over the salary cap as of last week when the league set next year's salary cap at $279.2 million. New Orleans since has made other moves to chip away at that figure, such as releasing running back Jamaal Williams and restructuring center Erik McCoy’s contract.
But restructuring Carr was always the move that could allow the Saints to free up the most salary-cap room with one player. In dropping his $30 million salary to all but the league minimum of nearly $1.3 million, and converting his $10 million roster bonus, the Saints cleared a reported $30 million in cap room.

The restructure means a trade can't happen because all the money pushed forward would go into this year. Carr is going no where.

Just wish one year we wouldn’t have to do this dumb fricking song and dance of can kicking simply to get to where non dumbass organizations are already.

Blame Loomis for signing this bum to an asinine 4 year deal.

Loomis is a fool.

I don’t think a player can be traded after a restructured contract or it may be an extension

I hate this franchise more than anything else in life.
The downvoters are in my prayers.

They didn’t have a choice. Either you did this or you basically had to restructure every other contract on the team.
Ideally this lets us get to June 1 and cut some elderly contracts.

Hot take. I want Sanders. Probably wont be there anyways, and now it looks like we’re rolling with Carr.

Exactly right. This was the only option, don’t know why anyone is surprised. They can possibly move on next year.

Loomis is solely responsible for the downfall. How he continues in his role is unfathomable.

it is annoying because Carr was a Dennis Allen pick.
DA is gone now.
Carr gave a shoutout to DA for helping "build this thing" following the win over the Falcons after he was fired.
Build what exactly?
Man, Carr is just thankful to still be collecting a check like he does.
his comment was so unauthentic.

Hopefully at least this means they don’t take Sanders at 9 the idiots.

Loomis to Saints fans:
You’ll get more Carr, and you’ll like it
And…..
I don’t give a F what y’all think
