Derek Carr Reveals 'Last Straw' in Breakup With Raiders: Team Made Wife Cry After Benching QB

Derek Carr said the Raiders made his wife cry after benching him for the final two games of the 2022 season, leading him to force his way into free agency.
Carr signed a four-year, $150 million contract with the New Orleans Saints this offseason and says he's excited to join a winning franchise with offensive weapons and a strong defense.
Carr spent nine years with the Raiders but had six head coaches and four offensive coordinators in that span and lamented that he didn't win more games.
The Raiders briefly explored trading Carr before he said he wouldn't accept a trade, leading to his release.
Carr's new teammates with the Saints have been impressed with his athleticism, arm talent and leadership so far.
