This was a shocking move for a couple of reasons. The Saints adding a receiver doesn't really make sense right now considering they have questions on who's going to throw the ball. Either they don't care about who's throwing the ball to their receivers or they believe in who they already have.

Carr and the Saints and reached an agreement with his retirement where he forfeits the $30 million that was originally his base salary while keeping the $10 million roster bonus. The Saints are waiving the rights to the $17.1 million from the $28.5 million signing bonus Carr received in 2023 that was subject to recoupment because he is retiring.
