Derek Carr Reveals Why He Chose Saints Over Jets in 2023

Carr's decision to sign with New Orleans instead of New York reshaped the quarterback landscape for the 2023 season.

Carr met with Jets coach Robert Saleh and could have signed immediately.
He ultimately decided to hear from other teams before making his choice.
Carr praised Saleh but felt the timing wasn't right to join the Jets.
The Jets later acquired Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a season-ending injury early in the season.
Carr's move to New Orleans resulted in a 9-8 season for the Saints, missing the playoffs.
