Saints, former Raiders QB Derek Carr retiring from NFL after 11 seasons

New Orleans Saints and former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr announced on Saturday morning that he's retiring from the NFL after 11 seasons.

"Upon reflection of prayer, and in discussion with Heather, I've decided to retire from the National Football League," Carr said in a statement. "For more than 11 years, we have been incredibly blessed, and we are forever grateful and humbled by this experience. 

"It's difficult to find the right words to express our thanks to all the teammates, coaches, management, ownership, team officials and especially the fans who made this journey so special. Your unwavering support has meant the world to us."

This news comes in the wake of it being revealed last month that Carr could miss the entire 2024 season due to a shoulder injury.
