Drew Brees Says Saints Are 'Well-Positioned to Make a Run' After Derek Carr Contract

Former New Orleans Saints star quarterback Drew Brees is confident that his old team is ready to make a run after signing ex-Las Vegas Raiders signal-caller Derek Carr to a four-year deal.

"I think he'll mesh well with (offensive coordinator) Pete Carmichael. I think he's got some weapons around him," Brees said after his Wednesday round at the Zurich Classic pro-am per Luke Johnson of The Advocate.

"I'm excited that Michael Thomas will be back and hopefully healthy — he deserves that. I think they're going to be well-positioned to make a run at it.
