Shoulder injury helps explain Saints' decision to keep Derek Carr

Summary

Nutrition label

64% Informative

Derek Carr suffered a late-season hand injury, which may have limited the team's options.

The Saints could not have cut Carr in order to avoid the $30 million obligation if he was unable to pass a physical before the vesting date of his injury-guaranteed pay became fully guaranteed.

If the shoulder injury happened during the 2024 season , the fact that he's considering surgery shows it hasn’t.
