Former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has agreed to a four-year contract with the New Orleans Saints, the team announced Monday.
Financial terms were not disclosed but sources told ESPN that Carr agreed to a deal that could potentially be worth up to $150 million and includes up to $100 million in guarantees.
Recent reports suggested that Jets were the frontrunners to land Carr. Yet the Saints, who had been in the running to acquire him from the beginning, managed to lure the offseason’s top available quarterback. Carr confirmed the news by Tweeting “Who Dat” late Monday morning. The Saints also announced agreeing to terms with the veteran.
He also thanked Raiders fans again with a post on Instagram: “I will miss all of you Raiders fans also. Thank you for an amazing 9 years.”
The Raiders‘ all-time career passing leader, Carr was a four-time Pro Bowl selection during his nine years with the franchise.
A league MVP candidate prior to getting hurt late in the 2016 season, Carr led the Raiders to the franchise’s only two playoff appearances since 2002.
