Austin Carr, wide receiver

Carr averaged more than 30 snaps per game in his early-season appearances before landing on injured reserve, but he was targeted just twice for all that playing-time (catching one pass for nine yards). He might be a capable blocker in the slot, but the Saints need receivers who can make plays. They can’t afford to have guys like Carr running for nothing out there anymore.

Maybe Carr returns on a veteran’s minimum salary. He probably won’t draw much attention on the free agent market, but at this point it feels like the team should have a good idea of what his NFL role is, and what he can or can’t do. If he’s still on the roster come October, it will be because they failed to make the upgrades Drew Brees needs to compete for another Super Bowl title. It’s time to move on and find upgrades.

Verdict: Let him walk in free agency.
