David Carr recently spent time on the links with his younger brother, former Saints and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who shocked the NFL world over the weekend by retiring at the age of 34.

"While Carr eventually will land on the Saints’ reserve/retired list, an unretirement in 2026 would likely trigger an immediate release of his rights, given that his 2025 salary of $30 million would immediately hit the cap. At most, the Saints would finagle a late-round pick from a team interested in signing him."

The legacy of Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders is one of statistical dominance, franchise loyalty, and a bittersweet conclusion due to injury and early retirement.
