New Orleans Football\u2019s Nick Underhill<\/a> thinks it will be the rookie, Shough. In fact, Underhill says he\u2019d be \u201cflabbergasted\u201d if Carr played for the Saints at all this year.<\/p>\n\u201cI would have trouble understanding why you would allow that to happen, you\u2019re trying to build a new culture, you can\u2019t let that guy \u2026 you just got a rookie QB, this is the example you\u2019re going to give him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nick Underhill on his reaction if Saints played Carr<\/p>\n
The Saints signed Carr to a four-year, $150 million contract in 2023 after he was released by the Las Vegas Raiders. The 34-year-old led them to a 9-8 record in 2023 and a 5-5 record in 2024 before injuries derailed his season.<\/p>\n
Carr has a $20.4 million cap hit in 2025 and a ridiculous $69.2 million cap hit in 2026. Yet, based on Underhill\u2019s expectations, he\u2019ll never play another snap in a Saints uniform.<\/p>\n
