00:00Let's move over to New Orleans because I think this one is pretty interesting.
00:09Dennis Allen has been fired.
00:11We've got Darren Rizzi in there as an interim, but Derek Carr has a $30 million base salary
00:18guaranteed for injury in 2025.
00:21We may be seeing the same thing that played out with the Giants play out in New Orleans
00:26fairly soon, correct?
00:27Mike, not only that, go back to Derek Carr's last contract with the Raiders.
00:31The exact same thing happened.
00:33He had no money guaranteed for skill or cap.
00:36It was just guaranteed for injury.
00:38So what does that mean?
00:40If Carr, let's say for instance, over the next two games they lose, they're still alive
00:43for wild cards, but let's say they lose and they know they're not going to the playoffs.
00:47He's back to exactly where he was with the Raiders.
00:49They benched him because they were concerned about a debilitating injury where he could
00:53not pass a physical in March.
00:55We're almost there.
00:56You nailed it, Mike.
00:58It's just the same structure as Daniel Jones had, and the Giants were going to have him
01:02as the four-string quarterback, and Daniel Jones is not asked out, so we're looking at
01:06the same exact scenario.
01:07I know some people say, Mike, well, why do agents do these contracts?
01:11Well, they know there's got to be a compromise because you're going to get two years of fully
01:14guaranteed money.
01:15The third year, we'll not have any fully guaranteed money unless they're on our contract by mid-March.
01:21I'm telling you right now, it's almost certain we're headed down the same path.
01:25We know it.
01:26The Saints aren't going to the playoffs.
01:27They did better last week, but the bottom line is they're not going to the playoffs.
