Saints Owner Gayle Benson Quashes Rumors of Quarterback Replacement, Affirms Confidence in Derek Carr Amid Drew Brees Trade Speculation

In a surprising turn of events, New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson made a bold statement in response to the growing rumors surrounding a potential quarterback change for the team. Amid speculations of a potential blockbuster trade involving legendary former QB Drew Brees, Benson emphatically affirmed her unwavering confidence in current starter Derek Carr.

The Saints, who have seen mixed results under Carr’s leadership since he joined in the offseason, have been at the center of trade talk, with many fans and analysts questioning whether Carr is the right man to fill the void left by Brees, the franchise’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. As the speculation reached a fever pitch, some even hinted at the possibility of Brees returning in a monumental trade deal to re-energize the team.

However, in a statement that stunned both critics and supporters, Benson put all rumors to rest. “Derek Carr is our quarterback, and we believe in him. We made a significant investment in Derek for a reason, and he is the leader of this team going forward,” she said. “The noise around Drew Brees coming back is just that—noise. He is a legend, but we are moving forward with our current roster, and our focus is on winning now.”

Benson’s remarks come as the Saints look to regain their footing in a highly competitive NFC South division. Despite Carr’s inconsistent performances this season, Benson’s strong endorsement signals the team’s commitment to its new quarterback and its desire to build a winning culture under his leadership.

As for Brees, the future Hall of Famer—who retired after the 2020 season—has made no public indications of a return to playing. Still, Benson’s comments should put an end to the wild trade rumors for now.
