NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has agreed to a four-year contract with the New Orleans Saints. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the agreement had not been announced. Carr turns 32 this month. He played nine seasons for the Raiders and holds team records for yards passing with 35,222 and touchdown passes with 217. Saints coach Dennis Allen was the Raiders’ coach when the team selected Carr in the second round of the 2014 draft out of Fresno State. Las Vegas released Carr on Feb. 14 to avoid guaranteeing him $40.4 million of his contract over the next two years.
