Derek Carr Mulling 2026 NFL Comeback, Dolphins a Potential Suitor

Former Saints and Raiders QB Derek Carr, 34, who retired last May after opting against right shoulder surgery, is reportedly considering an NFL comeback in 2026, with momentum building for his return. The Miami Dolphins are emerging as a potential landing spot, as they are expected to move on from Tua Tagovailoa and could seek a veteran quarterback to bridge to a younger player. Carr, a four-time Pro Bowler, retired after an agreement with the Saints freed up $30 million in guaranteed money.
