The New Orleans Saints are exploring options for quarterback upgrades this offseason, especially with Derek Carr's looming $51.5 million cap hit. If Carr refuses a pay cut, the Saints might consider moving on to Spencer Rattler, who had a lackluster debut season. However, Rattler's performance raises questions about his readiness as a franchise QB.

One potential target is Joe Milton III, who saw improvement with the New England Patriots last season. After stepping in for an injured starter, Milton showcased his strong arm by completing 22 of 29 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown, leading his team to a victory over the Bills. Despite concerns about his inaccuracy, Milton's upside could make him an attractive acquisition for the Saints.

With Kellen Moore reportedly set to take over as head coach, the Saints should assess whether Milton fits into their future plans. Trading for him, potentially at the cost of a third-round pick, seems like a low-risk move that could pay off if he continues to develop.
