The New Orleans Saints essentially courted Derek Carr.

They made their intentions clear from the start. They pursued him relentlessly
despite competition. And they shared the desire to put a ring on his finger.

A Super Bowl ring, of course.

All of that worked, and Carr’s signing with the Saints was announced Monday.



Carr’s brother, David, shared at least 15 minutes worth of background Wednesday
on his son’s podcast, “Harvester Sports.”

“The team knew exactly what they wanted to do, like from the jump: We’re going
to target Derek, we’re going to go after him and we’re going to get him,” said
David, a former NFL quarterback himself. “And they did, right? That means a lot
as a veteran guy, to be wanted.

"You just came out of a situation where your team didn’t want you anymore.
What’s the No. 1 thing you want? Well, you want to be wanted first of all. As a
quarterback, I want someone that’s going to say, ‘You’re our guy. Come lead our
team.’ Because you have to empower your quarterback that way.

“I think that teams make that mistake a lot of times. Like I see scenarios all
the time, without naming specifics, where they don’t do that. And the
quarterback is just kind of up and done. It’s like, ‘I don’t know if you have my
back.’ ”



There was never any doubt with the Saints, whereas the Carolina Panthers and New
York Jets — the only other confirmed teams to have met with Derek — had other
options to weigh.

The Panthers own the No. 9 pick in the NFL draft that allows them to think
outside of free agency. The Jets were — and still are — in pursuit of Aaron
Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers.



The Saints’ best draft pick is No. 29 overall, too far down the board for a top
passer. Also, they never even uttered the name of another free agent since Derek
Carr became available, at least not publicly.

“(Jets coach) Robert Saleh is awesome,” David said. “He’s fantastic. He made it
really hard. And I quote from Derek, ‘This boy is making it really tough on me.’
Right? Because he’s a great guy, and he has a vision for what they’re going to
do in New York, so I wish him well.



“But yeah, Saints it is.”

Interestingly enough, David didn’t mention the Panthers.

Derek’s decision went beyond the Saints’ determination and dedication, though.
Saints coach Dennis Allen was the one who drafted Derek out of Fresno State in
2014 to the Raiders, basically giving Derek his first NFL job.

David then named a few Saints players who he knows have a long-standing
relationship with his brother: defensive back Tyrann Mathieu and wide receiver
Michael Thomas. So, there are familiar faces as teammates, too.

The Saints defense, offensive line and the vulnerability of the NFC South also
were named as factors in the decision. 

Not to mention, Derek’s home field now will be indoors at the Caesars Superdome.

“Are you kidding me? Like this temperature?” David said. “OK, no elements,
nothing you have to worry about. All right, let’s go cook. Right?



"You try to win your division, and then the rest is once you get in the
tournament, it’s game on now. Let’s go play.”
