Derek Carr Open to NFL Return, But Only for Super Bowl Contender

Former Raiders and Saints quarterback Derek Carr, 34, has indicated he would return to the NFL if he were healthy and had a chance to win a Super Bowl. Carr, who retired last year after his 2024 Saints campaign was cut short by a hand injury and an oblique issue, also previously suffered a labral tear and rotator cuff degeneration. He spent nine seasons with the Raiders, becoming their all-time leader in passing yards (35,222) and touchdowns (217). His 2023 Saints team went 9-8, missing the playoffs, and he started 5-5 in 2024.
