Retired New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has talked openly about making an NFL comeback. He retired recently but says he would return if he is healthy and joins a team with real super bowl chances. Right now though, teams around the league show very little interest in bringing him back. The Saints would welcome trading Carr, since they see rookie Tyler show as their future starter at quarterback. That move couldn't net them a draft pick in return. Carr's time with the Saints was rough, marked by injuries and uneven play, which has cooled his appeal. League insiders like Jason Lackin' Fora report that executives are not excited about Carr. One general manager hunting for quarterback even said the Saints lack a real market for him, pointing to Carr's big contract as a major hurdle. Carr has been out of action for a while, adding to team's hesitation after his struggles in New Orleans. Reports suggest a return in 2026 looks unlikely based on the current buzz.
