Saints Consider Major Trades Amid $60 Million Cap Deficit

This offseason, the New Orleans Saints face significant challenges, with the team currently $60 million over the salary cap, the worst position in the NFL. To alleviate this financial burden, the Saints are considering trading key players, including quarterback Derek Carr, who has been linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers. NFL analysts suggest that trading Carr could save the Saints $11.3 million, allowing for potential roster improvements. Additionally, there are rumors about the Saints trading Spencer Rattler to the Seattle Seahawks, which could further reshape their quarterback depth chart. Defensive end Myles Garrett has also expressed interest in leaving the Cleveland Browns, but the odds of him joining the Saints are slim due to their salary cap constraints. As the Saints navigate these decisions, they are expected to focus on rebuilding for future competitiveness.
