Saints Mull Tua Trade After Carr's Retirement
The New Orleans Saints need a new quarterback since their current one retired.
Some people are wondering if they might try to get Tua Tagovailoa, who plays for the Miami Dolphins.
Tagovailoa has a big contract and has been hurt before, which could make it risky for the Saints to trade for him.
The Saints have money available after the retirement.
Despite rumors, Tagovailoa might be staying in Miami.
Getting him would be very expensive because of his high salary, which could be difficult for the Saints.
Derek Carr's retirement leaves a quarterback void for the New Orleans Saints.
Tua Tagovailoa's name surfaced as a potential trade candidate for the Saints.
Tagovailoa recently signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension with the Dolphins.
Tagovailoa's injury history and the Dolphins' schedule are potential factors.
Acquiring Tagovailoa would be financially challenging for the Saints due to his high salary.
