Veteran quarterback David Carr agreed to a deal with the New York Giants on Wednesday.
A source said that the contract is for one year and $1 million with incentives that could increase the overall value of the deal.
The presence of Giants assistant coach Chris Palmer, who worked with Carr in Houston, was a major reason the quarterback chose New York.
"Chris knows me better than anybody," Carr told ESPN.com. "I'm looking forward to getting in there and working with him on what's right and wrong with my mechanics."
Carr, 28, spent last season with Carolina and struggled after taking over for an injured Jake Delhomme. Carr was the No. 1 overall pick in 2002 by Houston and spent the first five years of his career there.
He is expected to compete for the backup job behind Eli Manning.
