The Saints have their next starting quarterback. The team signed street free agent Derek Carr, the former nine-year Raiders starter, to a four-year deal on Monday.
With New Orleans landing QB before the new league year opens for business, it is out of the trade and free agency market for the position in the 2023 NFL offseason. It likely also won't be drafting a potential franchise passer in the draft.
Although the Saints are set again for a while after marching on from the post-Drew Brees mess with Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill and Andy Dalton, that leaves teams such as the Jets and Panthers scrambling for a viable veteran starting option.
