Reply to comment by speak-eze in [Garafolo] The Saints are closing in on a deal with QB Derek Carr, sources tell me and Ian Rapoport. After nine seasons with the Raiders, the four-time Pro Bowl selection is headed to New Orleans. The first QB domino is about to fall and one NFC South team has its starter. by BCLetsRide69

To me, it’s about the load that Cam carried in Charlotte. Dude broke down from all those inside runs. While Lamar arguably takes fewer hits per game than Cam, I maintain that a QB who leads the team in rushing for more than a quarter here and there is a QB who will break down sooner rather than later. Lamar is probably aware of this, which is the most likely explanation for his contract demands: he knows there won’t be a third contract and he may not even survive his second contract, so guaranteed money is much more important.
