Breaking: New Orleans Saints Star QB Derek Carr Officially Confirm He Wants To Leave Following Kellen Moore
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has officially confirmed that he wants to leave the team following the hiring of new head coach Kellen Moore. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the Saints organization and fan base, raising questions about the team’s future at the quarterback position.
Carr, who signed a four-year deal with the Saints before the 2023 season, was expected to be the franchise’s leader under center for the foreseeable future. However, with Moore now taking over as head coach, Carr appears to be reconsidering his future in New Orleans. While the exact reasons behind his desire to leave remain unclear, speculation suggests that he may not see eye to eye with Moore’s offensive system or long-term vision for the team.
Throughout his tenure in New Orleans, Carr has been a steady presence at quarterback, but the Saints have struggled to find consistent success. The team failed to make a deep playoff push, and offensive inconsistencies were a recurring issue. With a new coaching staff now in place, Carr may feel that a fresh start elsewhere is the best option for his career.
If Carr does leave, the Saints will have a major decision to make at quarterback. They could turn to a young option already on the roster, explore free agency, or even look to the upcoming NFL Draft for a potential replacement. Regardless of the direction they choose, losing Carr would create significant uncertainty for the franchise heading into the 2025 season.
For now, the Saints organization must decide how to handle Carr’s request. They could work on facilitating a trade to another team, negotiate a contract buyout, or attempt to convince him to stay. His departure would mark yet another transition period for a franchise still seeking long-term stability at quarterback after the retirement of Drew Brees.
As this situation unfolds, Saints fans will be watching closely to see how the front office responds. Carr’s next move will have a major impact on the team’s direction, and whether or not New Orleans can remain competitive in the NFC South.
