The New Orleans Saints pulled off a shocking move earlier today to sign the former four-time Pro Bowl Quarterback Derek Carr, and with the pieces on the offence, they could now be considered the favourite in the wide open NFC South.
While he was linked to the Jets, it appears he grew impatient of waiting and pivoted to the Saints, and now it's easy to see why, as it has been revealed that he will be getting a 4-year deal for $150M, including $70M guaranteed at signing.
Given the current Quarterback market, this is a solid contract that works well for both parties, and if they can get a healthy Michael Thomas to go along with Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave, this will be a fun team to watch in 2023.The #Saints & Derek Carr agreed on a 4-yr deal for $150M with $100M in total guarantees, per me & @MikeGarafolo. He gets $70M effectively fully guaranteed ($60M at signing, another $10M in Year 3 vesting after Year 1). Carr structures his deal to accommodate Saints’ cap issues. pic.twitter.com/vs6qaBh7rg
