The New Orleans Saints are in hot pursuit of former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who would likely be an upgrade over the level of play they’ve seen out of Andy Dalton, Jameis Winston, and Trevor Siemian over the last two years (to say nothing of spot-starts for Taysom Hill and Ian Book along the way). And Saints general manager Mickey Loomis doesn’t see Carr as just a band-aid for their problems under center. He says Carr could be their starter in 2023 and beyond.
“I think if we were lucky enough to get him, I think he’s a long-term solution,” Loomis told SI.com’s John Hendrix at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday. “About as long as if you had a draft pick and hit on it right away, although you still got to re-sign them at some point.”
