Carr finds his way to his old coach
Derek Carr’s tenure with the Raiders was full of highs and lows. He set franchise records for passing yards and touchdowns, but he also failed to win a playoff game in eight seasons. The Raiders finally parted ways with him this offseason, hoping to save money and find a better fit for coach Josh McDaniels. Carr had the power to veto any trade offers, thanks to his no-trade clause, and he did just that when the Saints came calling, but fate had other plans for him.
After being released by the Raiders, Carr became a free agent and against his old decision agreed to sign a lucrative deal with the Saints, reuniting him with his former coach Dennis Allen. The Saints welcomed him as their new quarterback on March 11, 2023, praising his leadership and Pro Bowl skills. Carr now has a chance to prove himself in a new environment and lead the Saints back to the playoffs.
