Derek Carr receives interest from multiple NFL teams but remains retired

Derek Carr, the 35-year-old retired quarterback, revealed that multiple NFL teams reached out to him about playing in 2026. Carr, however, turned down the inquiries, citing a desire for a 'special situation' to return to the field. He previously sat out the entire 2025 season due to a shoulder injury but is now back to full health. While Carr has not disclosed which teams contacted him, he emphasized enjoying his time off with family and pursuing golf. The New Orleans Saints maintain his rights, and Carr's decision to remain retired could lead to long-term ramifications for his career.
