Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab are back and taking a look at all things free agency, starting with the Kansas City Chiefs who have several key free agents hitting the market including guard Trey Smith. Then the guys discuss the Buffalo Bills’ need for an elite WR1 to pair with the MVP talent of quarterback Josh Allen and the what the New Orleans Saints should do with QB Derek Carr and their salary cap.

Matthew Stafford has been given permission to talk with other teams. The Saints won’t be in the market, but a Stafford trade could impact Derek Carr:

The Jets wanted Derek Carr a few years ago, but there is one specific coach who is no longer in New York that may have changed things:

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Kellen Moore said this week at the NFL Combine that they plan to enter the 2025 season with Derek Carr

Common sense and reality dictates Carr will be back as the team’s starting quarterback in Fall 2025. But what can we glean from reading through the lines?

The Saints appear to have put an end to the controversy surrounding the quarterback position, at least for now. According to ESPN's Katherine Terrell, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Kellen Moore both backed incumbent veteran Derek Carr to be their starter next year.

The Saints appear committed to retaining quarterback Derek Carr in 2025, with a contract restructure likely in the works.

Underhill noted there are still some contractual matters to resolve between the two sides. Carr is under contract through the 2026 season and is due to carry a cap hit of $51.4 million in 2025 and $61.4 million in '26. The Saints are in the worst financial position in the league, with an effective cap space of -$52.7 million, per Over the Cap.
