Derek Carr will wear No. 4 with Saints; Blake Gillikin re-signs, will switch to No. 5

All those Derek Carr jersey edits will be proven accurate, after all.

It was announced Thursday afternoon that their new quarterback will be playing in the No. 4 jersey this upcoming season, the number he wore in each of his nine seasons with the Raiders between his homes in Oakland and Las Vegas.


The jersey number was in question only because it was already assigned to punter Blake Gillikin, but he announced the news himself with a, uh, unique photo edit. He'll wear No. 5, with the announcement doubling with the news that he has been re-signed for another year.

Carr was signed by the Saints to a 4-year, $150 million contract this offseason. His jersey number is obviously significant, as it will undoubtedly be a popular purchase in advance of the 2023 season.

Gillikin has been with the Saints since 2020 and has an average of 47 yards per punt on his 160 kicks, 61 of which have been downed inside the 20-yard line.
