What is the New Orleans Saints’ plan at quarterback if they don’t sign Derek Carr? Free agency offers slim pickings, and they’re in a tough spot to add a rookie in the 2023 NFL draft. Jameis Winston is likely on his way out of town after injuries derailed both of his seasons as the team’s starter. It’s difficult to see a path forward.
If we’re guessing, another free agent signing feels likeliest if Carr goes to a competitor like the New York Jets. Dennis Allen is entering a must-win season after his 7-10 campaign fell well short of expectations in 2022. He doesn’t have the time to wait on a rookie to be coached up. Whoever is starting for him in Week 1 should expect to see the season through.
