Saints 'ready' to sign Derek Carr as sweepstakes continue
While the Saints have made their opinions on Carr public, it remains unclear just how much interest he has in the Saints.
Before being cut by the Raiders, Carr informed the team that he wouldn’t accept a trade to the Saints or any other team as New Orleans reportedly attempted to work out a deal with Las Vegas.
Carr’s refusal was likely just in order to become an unrestricted free agent and use his leverage as one of, if not the top quarterbacks on the market.
The Saints’ readiness could alter or speed up the Jets’ and Panthers’ plans, both of whom are in dire need of quarterback help and have demonstrated a strong interest in Carr.
