Derek Carr is on his way to the Big Easy.
The Saints are reportedly closing in on a four-year deal with the 31-year-old veteran who spent nine years as a Raider. During that time, Carr was a four-time Pro Bowler and he is the all-time passing leader for the franchise.
Carr’s final season with the Raiders, however, was not his best. According to new head coach Josh McDaniels, he was benched for QB Jarrett Stidham because of that “poor play.” Carr threw 14 interceptions and was sacked 40 times in just 15 games played with only a 60.8% completion rate -- despite the team adding superstar wideout Davante Adams.
