Derek Carr has announced his retirement from the NFL due to a right shoulder injury, which he sustained while throwing a football after a previous concussion and hand injury. In a reflective statement, Carr expressed gratitude for his 11-year journey in the league, thanking teammates, coaches, and fans for their support. Following a diagnosis of a labral tear and degenerative changes to his rotator cuff, Carr opted to retire rather than pursue surgery, leaving the Saints with three quarterbacks on their roster: Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener.
