New Orleans Saints Quarterback Derek Carr is retiring from NFL after 11 sessions due to a correct shoulder injury.
The monk said on Saturday that Carr had damaged a labor tear and degenerative rotator phlegm to his right throw shoulder.
The 34 -year -old, Carr, had experienced discomfort in his shoulder since maintaining a left -arm injury during a game against New York veterans on 8 December.
“On the reflection of prayer, and in discussion with (wife) Heather, I have decided to retire from the National Football League,” Carr said. “For more than 11 years, we have been incredibly blessed, and we are grateful and humble forever from this experience. All the teammates, coaches, management, ownership, team officials and especially are difficult to find our thanks to express our thanks to those fans, which made this journey so special. Your incredible support is the meaning of your incredible support.”
The monk said in his statement that Carr took a decision after consulting with medical experts.
The team said, “Surgery was an option, endangering the entire 2025 season, yet there was no guarantee that the Derek would return to the level of strength, work and sports performance, which he was accustomed to,” the team said.
The monk selected Quarterback Tyler Shaf in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft last month. He also has 2024 fifth round pick spencer Rotler and 2023 fourth round selection Jake Hainar on the roster.
CARR had 14–13 as a starter in New Orleans in two sessions, although he was limited to 10 games in 2024 due to injuries.
Four-time Pro Bowl Selection, Carr, has thrown 41,245 yards and 257 tissue against Oklaland/Las Vegas Reders (2014-22) and 112 interception for saints. He was dropped by the Reders in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft.
