Why it Matters for New Orleans Saints and Derek Carr

Carr's preference for New Orleans persisted throughout the process. After his unceremonious departure from the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022, Carr visited the Saints when he was given permission to seek a trade before his release. The Saints needed a starting quarterback and Carr needed a new home. The first QB domino of the offseason has fallen, and it will be interesting to see where things go from here.
