New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Wednesday the team and new head coach Kellen Moore are 'excited' about the prospects of Derek Carr as their starting quarterback in 2025.
Loomis made the remarks to reporters at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
'I think we feel like we've got a guy we can win with,' Loomis said.
Moore was noncommittal about Carr as QB1 during his introductory press conference two weeks ago but had high praise for the 11-year veteran on Wednesday.
'We feel fortunate to have Derek here, the experience he has. He's a big-time quarterback in this league,' Moore told reporters.
The Saints are expected to restructure Carr's contract; he carries a $51.4 million cap hit in 2025.
Carr, 33, is 14-13 as the starter in New Orleans in the two seasons he's been there, though he was limited to 10 games in 2024 due to injuries.
Carr has thrown for 41,245 yards and 257 touchdowns against 112 interceptions for the Raiders (2014-22) and Saints. He's a four-time Pro Bowl selection.
