NFL Rumors: Saints 'Likely' to Release Jameis Winston If Derek Carr Signs Contract

The New Orleans Saints are reportedly expected to release quarterback Jameis Winston if they are able to sign Derek Carr in free agency.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Winston's release is "likely" if the Saints' interest in Carr results in him coming to New Orleans. Winston began the 2022 season as the Saints' starting quarterback, but he never regained the job from Andy Dalton after getting injured.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Carr's release from the Las Vegas Raiders will become official Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and while the Saints are known to have interest and have already visited with Carr, he "won't be in a rush to sign" and could take more visits before deciding.
