Saints Confirm Derek Carr as Starting QB for 2025 Season

General Manager Mickey Loomis and Head Coach Kellen Moore express confidence in Carr despite salary cap challenges.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis announced at the NFL Scouting Combine that Derek Carr will remain the team's starting quarterback for the 2025 season.
Carr, who signed a four-year, $150 million deal, has a $51.4 million cap hit in 2025, prompting discussions of a possible contract restructure to ease cap constraints.
New head coach Kellen Moore praised Carr's skills and experience, calling him a 'big-time quarterback' and expressing optimism about working with him.
The Saints face significant salary cap challenges, being nearly $60 million over the 2025 cap, with several veteran players carrying hefty contracts.
Carr's return follows a challenging 2024 season where injuries limited him to 10 games, yet the Saints only won games with him as the starting quarterback.
