Derek Carr, the new quarterback for the Saints, has chosen to take the high road following a bitter ending to his time with the Raiders. Despite the difficult circumstances, Carr has shown his sportsmanship by texting Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels to congratulate him on the team’s Week 1 road win over the Broncos. Carr expressed his desire to be a role model for his children, teaching them the importance of handling tough situations with grace.
“After the game, I texted Josh McDaniels saying, ‘Hey, congrats on beating the Broncos, man. That’s awesome. Just like we did last year.’ He sent me a nice text back,” Carr shared with ESPN before the Saints’ victory over the Panthers. Carr also mentioned his positive conversation with Raiders owner Mark Davis, who assured him that he would always be welcome and that the Raiders would always be his home. Carr expressed gratitude for this sentiment and emphasized the mantra of “Once a Raider, always a Raider.”
Although Carr had a difficult departure from the Raiders, he remains focused on his new chapter with the Saints. He signed a four-year contract with the team and is determined to make the most of this opportunity. Carr acknowledged his regret that he couldn’t bring a Super Bowl trophy to the Raiders, but he is proud of his accomplishments and sees them as a valuable lesson for his children.
Reflecting on his time with the Raiders, Carr said, “When I first left, it hurt so much…But when I look back at it, I am very proud of what I was able to do. I’d be able to look at my kids in the face and tell them they can get through anything.” Carr views this challenging experience as a chance for personal growth, not only for himself but also for his family.
Carr’s positive mindset and determination have translated onto the field. He has helped lead the Saints to a 2-0 start, and they will strive to maintain their undefeated record when they face the Packers on Sunday. While Carr has thrown for 533 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions, his focus remains on leading his team and setting a good example for his children both on and off the field.
