  Saints | Jameis Winston could be on bubble    Mon Feb 13, 09:29 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Jameis Winston is a candidate to be released this offseason because the team can save $4.4 million if they cut him before June 1 or $12.8 million if he designate him a post-June 1 cut.

Footballguys view: The Saints are $58 million over the cap in effective cap space (per OverTheCap.com), so releasing Winston just seems like what they'll do. Perhaps he could follow HC Sean Payton to Denver where he would give the Broncos an improved backup behind starter Russell Wilson.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr will visit the New Orleans Saints, who were granted permission to discuss a potential trade, Wednesday, Feb. 8, according to a source. No trade is imminent, and Carr has a full no-trade clause.

Footballguys view: The Saints have more assets now that they traded away HC Sean Payton to the Broncos. Perhaps they'd use some of the draft capital they got for Payton in a deal for Carr. We doubt they send the Raiders a first-round pick (like the one they got from Denver), and we should see them wait it out like most teams since Carr is expected to be released.
