Retired Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr says multiple teams have reached out about a comeback

Never say never, right? At least that’s what Derek Carr said.

Carr, 35, retired in May 2025 after 11 seasons, but the four-time Pro Bowler said that multiple teams have tried to bring him back to the gridiron.

“There were multiple teams that reached out to me this offseason. I won’t say who or how, but they reached out and was just gauging my interest on what I wanted to do. They were good, solid football teams,” Carr said during a recent appearance on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”

Carr didn’t shut down the possibility of a return, but said it would take a “special situation” to come back.

“I never say never, it would take a special situation,” Carr said.

“I think I’m just at the point where I just want to win. I want to win,” Carr said. “So if I were to do it, it would have to be a special team that maybe lost somebody or needed somebody, but even then, it’s not guaranteed.”

Carr said he is always training and staying in shape, but is enjoying being a husband and father.

“I’m having too much fun hanging out with my wife, hanging out with my kids, and trying to get good at golf. So it would take a special deal.”

The Saints signed Carr to a four-year, $150 million contract in 2023 and still own his rights, meaning that if he were to return, a team would have to acquire him from the Saints. The Saints, who drafted quarterback Tyler Shough in the 2025 NFL draft, would presumably be willing to facilitate a trade after Shough impressed.

Even if Carr played last season, he might not have taken a snap due to multiple shoulder injuries. In March 2025, while Carr was preparing for the season, he experienced pain in his right shoulder.

The Saints announced that medical scans determined that Carr sustained a labral tear and had significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff. The team’s medical staff and Carr considered surgery on his shoulder, but there was no guarantee the quarterback would have the same strength, function and performance he was used to.

In Carr’s last season, he played 10 games and completed 67.7% of his passes for 2,145 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. The Saints went 5-5 in his starts.

Carr’s season was cut short when he sustained a concussion and a left hand injury on the same play against the New York Giants.

In 169 career regular season games, Carr has a record of 77-92, a 65.1% completion percentage, and has thrown for 41,245 yards with 257 touchdowns and 112 interceptions. He spent nine seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders and two with the Saints.
