He seems to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-chris-olave-praises-derek-carr-helping-improve-game/" rel="noopener">fitting in very well</a> with his new squad and impressing his new teammates.</p><p>Saints tight end Juwan Johnson discussed Carr on SiriusXM NFL Radio. He said that his new quarterback reminded him of Drew Brees and, perhaps just as interestingly, said that the Raiders’ talent around him was not all that great. Although he didn’t name the team directly, he implied that Carr didn’t always have a deep supporting cast.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"He's giving me a lot of Drew [Brees]." </p><p>High praise for <a href="https://twitter.com/Saints?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Saints</a> QB Derek Carr from TE Juwan Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Saints?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Saints</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WhoDat?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WhoDat</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/juwanplease?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@juwanplease</a> <a href="https://t.co/KkJQoFROHQ">pic.twitter.com/KkJQoFROHQ</a></p><p>— SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/SiriusXMNFL/status/1674038741000679425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“I feel like with Derek, there’s a lot of things that you can do,” Johnson said. “He’s been in an offense where he’s had Josh McDaniels, Jon Gruden, so he has a lot of that he can bring over to our offense. Obviously, we have a lot of pieces on our offense — which I think he’s probably never had before. So that’s something that he can use a little bit.”</p><p>This is a wild assessment from Johnson. Carr’s Raiders weren’t exactly the pinnacle of talent but he played with numerous stars over the years. Even if the Saints have a better supporting cast for him than the Raiders did — which is certainly up for debate — Carr’s Raiders were not without supporting stars.</p><p>Just last season, the Raiders had Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs, who were both <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/davante-adams-sets-mark-only-jerry-rice-legends-have-ever-reached-in-win-over-chargers/" rel="noopener">First-Team All-Pro guys</a>, and Darren Waller, who was a Pro Bowler in 2020. Carr used to play with Pro Bowl wideout Amari Cooper and over his nine-year stint with the Raiders has had players like Hunter Renfrow, Jared Cook, Michael Crabtree and Latavius Murray alongside him, too. There was some brief overlap between some of these players, meaning Carr almost always had a star skill player somewhere in the offense.</p><p>As Derek Carr begins his stint with the Saints after a <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/sports/article276739196.html" rel="noopener">brutal ending to his time</a> with the Raiders, he’ll have help from the likes of Johnson, Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Jamaal Williams, Taysom Hill, Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, Rashid Shaheed and Foster Moreau (who he had with the Raiders for the last few seasons).</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I think we’ll do what we’ve always done here.</p><p>We’ll kind of monitor the market and see what players fit what we want to do and how we want to do things and if there’s a good fit there, we’ll pull the trigger on it. And if not, we’ll go through the draft process and let that play out.”</p><p>The Saints have already locked up Tanoh Kpassagnon, J.T. Gray, and now Juwan Johnson ahead of the new league year. With Johnson extended, all eyes in New Orleans will be on Jameis Winston and a potential renegotiated deal with Michael Thomas.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
