It was a non-football injury which breached his contract. He's the one with zero case.

Reports: Carr's '25 status at risk due to shoulder

Saints quarterback Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that could put his status for the 2025 season in jeopardy, according to multiple reports.

States here his injury to the shoulder, ac joint came from a game and his hand injury came from a game.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

He’s a fukkin idiot who leaves 30 ms on the floor

Believe it or not, there are some people who are not bound to capitalism in the same way that you are.


The reason he was able to stick around as long as he did with the Raiders was because he was genuinely a good person,.


Dude has made over $200M from playing in the NFL, and the fact he didn't want to scam a $30M year just doesnt sit right with you.

No, that's not what it says.

"Carr has not played since he broke several bones in his non-throwing hand in Week 14 against the New York Giants."

That article does not speak to the current shoulder injury.

The Saints would not have restructured his contract after the season effectively locking him in for one more year if they knew he was that badly injured. If Carr knew retirement was on the option after the end of the year he would not have (1) refused a pay cut and (2) looked around the league for other options.

Saints QB Derek Carr retiring due to shoulder injury that requires surgery

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said the starting QB job will be an open competition between rookie Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.

Soon thereafter, the Saints confirmed Carr's retirement.

"In late March, while ramping up his preparation for the 2025 season, Derek experienced pain in his right shoulder," the team said in a statement. "It was his first time throwing a football at significant volume since recovering from both a concussion and left hand injury sustained during play on December 8, 2024. Derek immediately contacted the Saints Medical Team.

"Eventually, medical scans determined objectively that Derek sustained a labral tear and also had significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff."

Surgery would have sidelined Carr for six months and meant that he would be on injured reserve through the 2025-26 season, according to NFL Network's Mike Garofalo. Rather than go through that process, the 11-year veteran decided to retire.
