Earlier this week, New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr<\/a> shocked the football world when he announced his retirement from the National Football League. Citing a degenerative shoulder injury, Carr outlined how this was the right decision to take for him at this time.<\/p>\n However, later reports by NFL analyst Jeff Duncan<\/a> highlighted how Carr also did not want to become a “transition QB” for the Saints and rookie QB Tyler Shough moving forward.<\/p>\n As a result, there have been some questions as to whether Carr may unretire when he is fully healed from the shoulder injury that he is currently dealing with.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n NFL insider for NBC Sports Mike Florio recently discussed the idea of Carr unretiring from the National Football League in an article posted to NBC Sports Pro Football Talk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n Looking to predict NFL playoff Scenarios?

He also made clear that he had heard that Carr was making post-football plans at this time, with a NFL return not sounding like part of that plan.<\/p>\n “Per a source with knowledge of the situation, it\u2019s ‘extremely unlikely’ that Carr will return. He\u2019s already making other professional plans.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The article in full can be found using the following link<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 2024 season was a difficult one for Carr, where he struggled with both injury and poor play. According to the NFL injury website ‘Draft Sharks’<\/a>, he suffered an oblique injury in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> and a hand injury in Week 14 against the New York Giants<\/a>, something that resulted in him playing in only 10 games last year.<\/p>\n In those ten games, Carr was solid, yet at times, inconsistent. He finished the campaign with 2,145 passing yards, 16 total touchdowns, and five interceptions during that span.<\/p>\n Carr retires as the Raiders all time leader in passing yards (35,222), passing touchdowns (217), and completions (3,201).<\/p>\n![\"march](\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\"){kind=logo}
