New Orleans invited the longtime Raiders quarterback, a meeting Las Vegas permitted Carr to participate in.

This will be Carr's first visit with another team.

Last week, the Raiders granted Carr permission to visit with other teams as long as there was an agreement on trade compensation.

New Orleans made such an agreement.

Saints Coach Dennis Allen coached Carr for two-plus seasons with the Raiders in Oakland after Carr was selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Feb. 15 is the trigger date for Carr's contract. At that point, $40.4 million of his salary will become fully guaranteed.

Due to his no-trade clause, the Raiders cannot trade Carr until he consents and approves of the destination.

The Raiders' all-time leading passer was benched for the final two games of the 2022 season. It is expected that he and the club will part ways, whether by cut or trade.

In his nine years with the Silver and Black, Carr passed for a total of 35,222 yards and 217 touchdowns, both franchise records by a wide margin.
