New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is facing an uncertain future following the arrival of Sam Darnold, who was signed through a free agency deal. Carr, who was signed to a four-year, $150 million contract with the Saints earlier this year, had expected to be the team’s starting quarterback. However, with the addition of Darnold, questions about Carr’s role are starting to surface.
Sources close to the team have suggested that Carr, who has been the focal point of the Saints’ offense since his arrival, is now open to a potentially unfamiliar role. Though Carr has established himself as a starting quarterback in the NFL, he has reportedly expressed willingness to adapt to whatever is necessary for the team’s success. This comes amid growing speculation about the Saints’ quarterback depth chart for the upcoming season.
Darnold, a former No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, has shown flashes of potential during his time with the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers. The Saints signed Darnold, who is considered a reliable backup and potential starter, to provide depth and competition in the quarterback room. His arrival has led to some shifting expectations for Carr, especially with the coaching staff looking to evaluate all options before the season begins.
While Carr’s future with the Saints remains in question, his professionalism and commitment to the team are undeterred. He has made it clear that he’s willing to work with Darnold and any other players necessary to help the Saints achieve success. How the Saints will balance their quarterback room, with both Carr and Darnold vying for starting duties, remains a key story as training camp approaches.
