Quarterback Derek Carr is leaving the Las Vegas Raiders: He has signed a contract with the New Orleans Saints, the NFL team announced. Carr is said to earn up to $150 million in four years with the New Orleans American Footballers.
The change of the 31-year-old had already been decided for days. Carr previously played for the Raiders since 2014 and moved with the team from Oakland to Las Vegas.
The quarterback leads the Raiders with 35,222 passing yards and 217 touchdowns.
The quarterback was not used in the last two games of the main round last season and the Raiders recently terminated his contract. Carr was still voted into the Pro Bowl, a kind of all-star game of the season’s best football pros.
