After Derek Car, where do the saints go from here in Qurtirbbe?

The Derek Car era has ended in New Orleans. The 34 -year -old midfielder retires, citing a shoulder injury that requires surgery and forced him to miss the 2025 season.

14-13 went in his two-year career with the saints, limited due to injuries and playing through others, ultimately unable to be Gardbbeck to return New Orleans to the qualifiers for the first time since Drew Press retired after the 2020 season.

Car’s retirement ends for a period of embarrassing uncertainty, as the news of the shoulder injury came out immediately before the draft. He forced them to put the hard salary ceiling on the saints to reformulate his contract to create an immediate space for you, and as a result, his contract will count $ 50 million of “dead funds”, or the maximum area allocated for a complete contract, over the course of 2025 and 2026.

The saints expected Carr’s absence by using their choice in the second round in the draft of the Luisville player Tyler Shouf, and the 25 -year -old is now the favorite candidate to enter the role of Car in Qurtubbere under the leadership of the main coach in the first year. New Orleans Gortrobbeck formulated three years in a row, but she should be able to overcome a second year’s professional Spencer Ratter, who went to 0-6 last season, filling Car, and a third-year professional Jake Henner, 0-1 at the beginning of his only career.

If the two saints want to sign the veteran QB, the best free agents are still available from Aaron Rodgers, who appears heading to Stelors, Karson Wintz, and Dizmmond Reader.

New Orleans kicks off in the 5-12 season, has been the worst record for excellence since 2005, before Price joined the team. The flexibility restricted the salary in the saints the additions outside the season, and therefore the challenge is to keep up with the leopards and alugons, as well as with the youth of the youth, all of them chasing the BUCS team, which won the section four years in a row and prefers to do this again.

The legacy of the American Football Association Car is a mixed bag. 41,245 yards and 257 passes have passed in a 11 -year -old profession, most of which are with the two changes, but they are also free of almost any CV. His best season, in 2016, saw him miss the qualifiers due to the injury, so he played in one playing match, and lost after the 2021 season.

His retirement makes him a clean break in New Orleans: a new coach in Moore, the new Georrbeck is probably in Shouf. Al -Salad, who played three seasons in Oregon and three in Texas before finding success in Louisville last season, will have the burden of trying to change the concession path. It was the third of Qurtubbere, before other Qurtubbere horizons like Galen Millero in Seattle and Cleveland Sanders.

The largest future will help Chris Olaf and Rashid Shahid Shouf, as well as an upgraded attack line. New Orleans used its choices in the first round in the first round, with Taliese Fuaga last year and Kelvin Banks JR. this year. Moore is an offensive coach and has a long range in Dallas before time with the shells and eagles, and he follows an unnoticed record of 18-25 by Dennis Allen, who took over Sean Payton in 2022.
