After acquiring extra draft capital by trading Sean Payton, the New Orleans Saints could be a player in the trade market for quarterbacks this offseason according to Adam Wells of Bleacherreport.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Saints were "buzzing" as a potential landing spot for Derek Carr among NFL scouts and executives in Alabama this week for the Senior Bowl.

Fowler noted some teams interested in Carr will look to rework his contract to facilitate a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Carr's time with the Raiders has almost certainly come to an end, barring some last-minute reconciliation between the two sides. He was benched for the final two games of the regular season, in part because his 2023 salary would have become fully guaranteed if he suffered a serious injury.

If the Raiders are going to trade Carr, they will likely want to find a partner before Feb. 15. That's the date his $32.9 million base salary for next season and $7.5 million of his 2024 salary becomes fully guaranteed.

Carr said during the Pro Bowl Games on Thursday he has no intention of extending that deadline.
