Derek Carr, a four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, raised the possibility of returning to the NFL during an appearance on NFL Network’s 'Good Morning Football'. Carr, who retired in May 2025 due to shoulder issues, reported interest from multiple teams this offseason. He emphasized that any potential return would require a 'special situation' and that he is focused on fitness while enjoying personal time.
