Keeping it only four years is a good move for the Saints and not a too bad of a deal for Carr. He is being paid right at or just below market rate.
I’m thinking Winston could be a good backup in Detroit.
Wow, they are stupid. If they are going to pay that much, why can’t they get a decent QB. They’d be bette off with Phillip Rivers.
NFL teams are hamstringing themselves by signing NFL QBs to these massive deals before they’ve won anything. The exception is Mahomes because he’s lights out, but now also has 2 rings. Other teams signing aging Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, or guys like Kyler Murray, Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Deshaun Watson, Geno Smith, etc are killing their ability to sign quality pieces around them because of the salary cap. Eagles, Bengals, Chargers have 1 or 2 more years before they join that club and have to give massive raises to their QBs.
