Carr remains under contract with Las Vegas, but
the Raiders benched Carr toward the end of the 2022 regular
season and are widely expected to move on from the veteran by
either trade or release.
Carr plans to visit New Orleans on Wednesday, per NFL Network.
There's a strong connection between Carr and Saints head coach
Dennis Allen. Carr was a second-round draft pick in 2014 when
Allen coached the then-Oakland Raiders. Allen made Carr the
starting quarterback but was fired after an 0-4 start.
That was the start of a fruitful run for Carr with the Raiders.
He made four Pro Bowls, most recently in 2022, and set major
franchise passing records. But the team only made the playoffs
twice in Carr's nine-year stay and never won a playoff game.
The Saints are coming off a 7-10 season in their first year
under Allen, who succeeded Sean Payton as coach. Aging veteran
Andy Dalton spent most of the season as the starting quarterback
after an injury-prone Jameis Winston was relegated to the
backup.
