Carr joined the saints in front of the 2024 season after spending his first nine seasons of Raiders in Oakland and Las Vegas.
It has not exactly been a big period. In 27 games, Carr has completed 68.2% of his passports in 6,023 yards, 40 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Carr missed seven games during the 2024 season due to AA -Brainstil and a left -wing fracture.
