Free-agent quarterback Derek Carr has met with a few teams up to this point, but is leaning towards the Jets, according to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler.
While the #Panthers and #Saints remain in the conversation for Derek Carr, the former Pro Bowl quarterback has a slight lean toward the #Jets as his next home as of now, per source. Nothing is final, but Jets — who are linked to Aaron Rodgers — have made an impression.

Carr has met with the Jets, Saints and Panthers over the past few weeks, including a pair of meetings with the Jets, one being last week at the Scouting Combine. Per Fowler, the Jets have “made an impression.”
The Jets are still linked to Aaron Rodgers and are still planning on waiting for his decision, but this could seem to indicate they may have a chance at getting Carr as a fallback option if they don’t get Rodgers.
At this point, it would be a major disappointment if the Jets do not get either Rodgers or Carr.
