Kellen Moore Introduced as Saints Head Coach, Faces Questions on Derek Carr's Future

The Saints' new coach, fresh off a Super Bowl win, navigates a challenging start with salary cap issues and uncertainty surrounding key players.

Kellen Moore, 36, was introduced as the New Orleans Saints' head coach, making him the youngest in the NFL after winning a Super Bowl as the Eagles' offensive coordinator.
Moore praised quarterback Derek Carr but avoided committing to him as the starter for the 2025 season, citing a need to evaluate the roster fully.
The Saints face significant salary cap challenges, being nearly $60 million over the limit, with Carr's $51 million cap hit adding complexity to roster decisions.
Moore emphasized adaptability in play-calling and expressed confidence in competing for the NFC South despite the team's financial constraints and recent struggles.
Owner Gayle Benson's press conference gaffe, accidentally referring to Moore as 'Ellen,' went viral, overshadowing the introduction and drawing mixed reactions from fans.
