With the New Orleans Saints able to get out of the Derek Carr contract after this season, they could find a potential replacement in division in the form of Atlanta Falcons' former starter Kirk Cousins.

Though Derek Carr may not be able to play in Week 17, he'll be seeing the Las Vegas Raiders for the first time since his release.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is “frustrated” over the reporting about his left hand injury and is still determined to return this season, interim coach Darren Rizzi said Thursday.

Jacobs did not see a ton of action against the Saints but he still led the Packers with 69 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries to go with 38 receiving yards on four receptions and four targets. As for Carr, he can be expected to sit out the rest of the season, given his injury and the Saints being out of playoff contention already.

Isaac Guerendo, RB, SF (foot/hamstring) — Questionable Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers expect Guerendo to practice Thursday, according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. In Guerendo’s Week 16 absence, Patrick Taylor had eight carries for 24 yards, while WR Deebo Samuel had five carries for 25 yards.

The Saints need to get it over with and shut down quarterback Derek Carr for the rest of the season. There's no more point in him playing.

The New Orleans Saints won’t have quarterback Derek Carr or running back Alvin Kamara available for Monday night's game at Green Bay.

It doesn’t sound like the Saints are moving on from Derek Carr in 2025. ESPN reports the team’s salary cap constraints won’t allow it:

The New Orleans Saints entered the 2024 season with no bigger concern than the offensive line. Only two starters returned from last year. Their left tackle, first-round pick Taliese Fuaga, played right tackle in college.

Even without Carr under center though, this contest could have a massive impact on the 2025 draft. The Raiders currently hold the sixth overall pick while the Saints hold the 10th pick. A loss for either team could give them a much better draft position. Here are our experts' predictions for this Week 17 showdown.
