The carpet, like the carpet in your house, has padding under it. Though an automotive grade, it will still need to be removed and dried out at the very least.
I would take it out and leave it in the sun for a few days. Put the seats back in and drive the car without the carpet for that time, if you do not have another car.
I would try that first BEFORE putting the money out for new carpet
