The Raiders have given the Saints permission to meet with Derek Carr regarding a trade. While the Saints may also use this meeting as a fact-finding mission ahead of a free-agency pursuit, the NFC South team is exploring the possibility of adding Carr in a deal. New Orleans and Las Vegas are believed to have agreed to trade terms, greenlighting the meeting.
Carr could be the latest high-profile passer to move in a trade. It is not certain what it would take to acquire Carr’s through-2025 contract, though a first-round pick should not be expected to change hands. A Day 2 choice may not be off the table, and a growing number of QB trades involving first- or second-day compensation have taken place in recent years.
Excluding trade-up or trade-down maneuvers during the draft — which shifted from a two-day event to a three-day process in 2010 — here are the trades for quarterbacks involving first-, second- or third-round picks in the 21st century.
Since 2010, Foles, Joe Flacco, Ryan Tannehill, Tim Tebow and Jason Campbell have also been dealt in trades involving fourth-round picks.
