Saints QB Carr to retire

May 10, 2025

Saints QB Carr to retire … In something of a shocker, New Orleans and veteran QB Derek Carr announced jointly this morning that he had opted to retire. Carr was already likely to miss the upcoming season because of a shoulder injury that was going to require surgery, but in a number of reports on the issue the word ‘degenerative’ cropped up. Needless to say the loss of Carr leaves the Saints in a vulnerable spot at the position as their QB room currently consists of 2025 2nd rounder Tyler Shough, along with young veterans Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener. Unless one of those young guys steps up pretty quickly, it could leave the Saints in a position in which they will have to address the position again at the draft sooner rather than later.
