Top free agent quarterback Derek Carr and the New York Jets have already become familiar with each other this offseason, as the now former Las Vegas Raiders is looking for a new home in the NFL. 

Carr was recently seen with head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas at an Italian restaurant near their Florham Park, N.J. facilities. The Jets have made it quite known they are in the market for a quarterback despite still having second overall pick from two years ago, Zach Wilson, still on the roster. 

If Carr does in fact sign to be the Jets’ new starter, he would probably want to wear No. 4, which he’s been doing since the Raiders drafted him 36th overall in 2014.

There’s just one catch: Cornerback D.J. Reed already has the number. 

Reed may give it up, but he took to social media to imply that Carr would have to exchange it for something if that be the case. 

"We can always negotiate," he said.

Reed has worn multiple numbers in his five years in the NFL, including Nos. 29, 2 and 9 with the Seattle Seahawks in just two seasons. He also wore No. 32 with the San Francisco 49ers, who he spent his first two seasons with. 

But Carr is expected to make a good amount of money on his next deal, so perhaps Reed is looking for a piece of that for the number.
