Saints quarterback Derek Carr retiring after 11 seasons due to shoulder injury​

The New Orleans Saints will be starting a new quarterback in 2025 and beyond as the team announced Saturday that veteran Derek Carr is retiring after 11 NFL seasons.

In his 10 starts last season, Carr went 5-5 while throwing for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. The five games Carr won were the only victories the Saints had all season, as Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener went a combined 0-7. With rumors swirling around Carr's injury and status for the upcoming season, the Saints selected Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough No. 40 overall in the latest NFL Draft.

Now, the search for the next long-term answer under center begins. Shough seems the most likely of the players on the current roster to get first crack at the job, especially given the level of team's investment in him compared with Rattler and Haener, who were also each drafted by a prior regime. But the Saints could also look to the veteran free agent market (Aaron Rodgers or Carson Wentz) or even to trades (Kirk Cousins or one of a number of younger options) to fill the role.
