Let’s dive right into what happened this week in New Orleans Saints news and some of the reactions.
Derek Carr interviewing with the New York Jets:
The #Jets are bringing in free agent QB Derek Carr for a visit this weekend, sources say. It’ll be the second meeting with a team for Carr, who visited the #Saints prior to his release by the #Raiders.

A very interesting one. Derek Carr is high on the #Jets list. https://t.co/IjeD3E3rKR

Just waiting for the Jets and Derek Carr have agreed to terms statement ♂️ ♂️

I'd argue the Jets are in the same position and in a much harder division

This is very good since NO has generally been much better in terms of AGL relative to Denver since FO started tracking this back in 2010. pic.twitter.com/5YftScL6fy

Saints having extensive meetings with Hendon Hooker:
Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker has met extensively with the Raiders, Panthers, Giants, Saints, and Cowboys during the pre-draft process, per source.

The dual-threat talent is expected be healthy and ready for training camp after suffering a torn ACL in Nov.
Yes Or No:

Would you draft Hendon Hooker to be the future QB of the Saints? pic.twitter.com/gbTPTXbCii
Yes, but only at the end on the 2nd or top of the 3rd. 25 years old & ACL injury isn’t something to just overlook.

100% behind carr for a few years.. I’d love it

Saints re-working the contracts of Ryan Ramczyk and Wil Lutz:
The Saints converted $12.92M of OT Ryan Ramczyk’s base salary into a bonus, creating $10.336M in cap space, as @TomPelissero said.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) February 23, 2023
K Will Lutz also agreed to a re-worked deal, lowering his cap number by $1.5M, per source.
The Saints keep chipping away to get under the cap…
#Saints kicker Wil Lutz was carrying the 5th-highest cap hit among kickers (currently) going into 2023.
— Ross Jackson (@RossJacksonNOLA) February 23, 2023
After the reported reduction of $1.5M he would fall to 12th-highest 2023 cap hit at the position.
Wil Lutz agreed to a new salary to lower his cap number, per source. His contract was not restructured.
— Nick Underhill (@nick_underhill) February 23, 2023
Saints K Wil Lutz’s restructure is still a one-year deal since he was in the last year of his previous contract. He agreed to a pay cut from the $3.7M he was due this season, but the deal also includes incentives per source. Both sides betting on a bounce-back. https://t.co/ow6Mm2SyGC
