Newly-signed quarterback Derek Carr will be wearing the same jersey number with the New Orleans Saints that he wore during his days with the Raiders.
Carr will suit up in No. 4 for the Saints, the team announced with a tweet on Thursday.
While it seemed likely that Carr would get his old number with the Saints, punter Blake Gillikin had been wearing the No. 4 jersey previously.

When the Saints didn’t make an offer to Gillikin, the Penn State product became a restricted free agent on Wednesday and freed up No. 4 for Carr to wear in 2023.
Carr has played in the No. 4 jersey going all the way back to his college days at Fresno State.
