The Saints made the first big splash of the offseason by landing Derek Carr. The veteran quarterback expressed excitement about the chance to lead a potentially dynamic offense.
The Saints new quarterback,During a lengthy introductory press conference on Saturday, the 31-year-old detailed his nine-year tenure withCarr also expressed excitement about what his future with the Saints could hold. One of the players Carr looks forward to building a strong on-field rapport with in 2023 is wide receiver Michael Thomas.
Carr and Thomas have built a good off the field relationship and were in touch as the veteran quarterback navigated the free agency process. "When he started recruiting and talking to me, he wasn't even trying to recruit me, he was just like, 'When are we getting to work? We're wasting time, time is ticking,'" Carr said.
Carr said the unceremonious breakup with the Raiders served as motivation for him. He believes he has been given a second chance to prove himself. Carr's relationship with Saints head coach Dennis Allen played a role in his decision to sign with the Saints. Allen was the Raiders' head coach when Carr was drafted in the second round in 2014.
