JUST NOW!!! A New Chapter Begins: Derek Carr Returns to the Raiders as Co-Owner…
In a surprising turn of events, former NFL quarterback Derek Carr has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 34, citing a significant shoulder injury that would require surgery and potentially sideline him for the entire 2025 season
. Carr, who spent nine seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders and the last two with the New Orleans Saints, earned four Pro Bowl selections and became the Raiders’ all-time leader in passing yards, completions, and touchdowns.
Despite his retirement, Carr’s connection with the Raiders remains strong. In early 2025, he expressed a desire to return to the franchise in a meaningful way, stating, “Las Vegas has always been a special place for me, and I’ve always had a great love for the city, the fans, and this organization.” While there have been discussions about Carr taking on a new role within the organization, no official announcement has been made regarding a co-ownership position.
Carr’s retirement marks the end of an 11-season career that included over 35,000 passing yards and 217 touchdowns. His leadership and resilience have left a lasting impact on the Raiders franchise and its fans. As he transitions into the next chapter of his life, Carr’s legacy as a dedicated and accomplished quarterback endures.
