Derek Carr: I would play again for a team with a chance to win
Our Summary
Derek Carr has indicated he would consider returning to the NFL in 2026 under specific conditions. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback, who announced his retirement nine months ago, stated on his podcast that he remains open to playing if his shoulder injury heals and if he receives an offer from a team with a strong chance of winning the Super Bowl. Carr, now 34, mentioned that he has been approached by some teams but declined their offers as they did not meet his criteria. It remains uncertain whether the Saints have permitted him to negotiate with other teams or what terms they might require for a trade. Carr's potential return hinges on finding the "perfect situation."
