New Orleans Saints sign Derek Carr in £125m deal snubbing three NFL rivals

Derek Carr will sign for the New Orleans Saints on a four-year deal $150million (£125m) deal after being released by the Las Vegas Raiders last month.

The former Raiders quarterback initially held talks with the Saints while still under contract, but refused to negotiate as part of any compensation package. Carr also visited the New York Jets and there was reported interest from both the Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons.

But Carr has seemingly made up his mind according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo, and will be in a Saints uniform for the 2023 season. Finding a new quarterback was a priority for the Saints, and now Carr will replace Andy Dalton as their new starter.
