Podcast Script: Derek Carr's Status for 2025 Season in Jeopardy

[Intro Music Fades Out]

Host: "Welcome to the latest episode of 'NFL Insights.' Today, we're focusing on New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr, whose future is hanging in the balance. Reports indicate Carr is dealing with a shoulder injury that could jeopardize his status for the upcoming 2025 season.

As the Saints gear up to kick off their offseason training program under new head coach Kellen Moore, Carr’s attendance is now uncertain. This comes after an already tough season for him, where he missed seven games in 2024 due to various injuries, including those to his oblique and hand. In his absence, the team turned to backup quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.

Interestingly, Carr’s shoulder isn’t a new issue. He sprained his AC joint at the start of the 2023 season but managed to play through it. Now, with two years left on his contract, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reveals he’s open to testing free agency sooner.

The Saints, holding the ninth pick in the upcoming NFL draft, currently have four quarterbacks on their roster but have about $27 million in cap space — potential leverage for signing additional talent.

Stay tuned as we continue to follow this developing story and its impact on the Saints' strategy moving forward."
