NFL: Former Raiders QB Derek Carr agrees to join New Orleans Saints
March 6, 2023
Carr, however, did not have a good season with the Saints in 2022 as he finished with 3,522 passing yards (third lowest in his 9-year career), 24 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions (tied with most in a single season) in 14 games as he was benched forthe last two games in a 'mutual decision.'
The Saints, his new team, also didn't getany bragging rights after finishing the season with a 7-10 win-loss record.
Carr, who has spent his entire career, from 2014-2022 with the Raiders, first with now-defunct Oakland from 2014-19 and then with Las Vegas from 2019-22, has made four trips to the Pro Bowl so far. He also took the Raiders to the playoff twice in 2016 and 2021 during his stay.
The Saints have also not been able to stabilize their offense ever since the star quarterback Drew Brees retired before the 2021 season. New Orleans, after signing Carr, would now be looking to release QB Andy Dalton, who started 14 games in 2022 but will be a free agent come free agency.
The Saints also have Jameis Winston under the contract for another year but the latest deal could see him released as well.
