The #Saints remained the favorite for Derek Carr the entire process. It wasn't a trade, instead it'll be a free agent signing. New Orleans will lock in their starter.

Dennis Allen was Oakland’s head coach when the Raiders drafted Derek Carr in 2014, and the two now would reunite in New Orleans as the Saints’ HC-QB tandem.

Derek Carr CHOSE the #Saints over the Jets and Panthers. He wouldn’t do that if he didn’t think he had the opportunity to win a Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The @Saints are getting themselves a 4x Pro Bowl QB.

Happy Derek Carr found a home with the @Saints No one ever wants to be treated like an option in a relationship and that’s exactly what the Jets did to him. The Saints treated Derek like he was the only one for them and now they are in the Carr riding off into the sunset.

The #Saints were always the preferred destination for Derek Carr, who now is set to reunite with Dennis Allen in New Orleans.

In a division where the QB’s are currently Kyle Trask, Desmond Ridder and Matt Corral, having Carr gives you an instant advantage.#WhoDat pic.twitter.com/uMHHcYDzUh
With Derek Carr, Saints instantly become the clear NFC South front runner.

Carr obviously had multiple suitors as a rare proven QB available in free agency. But Saints always felt like the team to beat as far as fit and being most eager to land him. Feels like a win-win. https://t.co/SgBzpVcLIt
