Saints GM Mickey Loomis said Wednesday that the team plans to stick with QB Derek Carr in 2025. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo inidicated, however, that the two sides might need to talk contract ahead of a year that's set to count Carr as a $51.5 million cap hit and pay him $40 million in cash.

The Saints have hired Doug Nussmeier as OC. The 54-year-old brings an extensive history with new HC Kellen Moore, working together with the Eagles (QB coach), Chargers (QB coach), and Cowboys (QB/TE coach). Nussmeier hasn’t been a play-caller at the pro level but held OC jobs at Fresno State, Washington, Alabama, Florida, and Michigan. The Saints still have a QB problem to solve, but Nussmeier looks like a qualified candidate to help Moore adjust to his first HC gig.

According to multiple reports, the Saints are now set to officially hire Kellen Moore as their next HC. The move has been expected since before the Super Bowl. At 36, Moore will become the league's youngest HC, edging Seattle's Mike Macdonald (37 until late June). Moore, of course, spent 2024 as Eagles OC after one season as Chargers OC and four as Cowboys OC.
