Derek Carr, a four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, is seriously contemplating a comeback to the NFL just over a year after his retirement. Last May, Carr announced his retirement following an 11-season career where he had notable performances, but he has indicated on his podcast that the desire to compete again may be strong if he can prove his health and find a team with Super Bowl intentions. Reportedly, several teams with ambitions to win are showing interest in his potential return, as indicated by NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.

Carr, currently under a four-year, $150 million contract with the New Orleans Saints, remains a sought-after player. If he decides to return, the Saints would have to agree to trade him, particularly after the impressive showing of rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who was drafted in the previous year. The Saints' management may be willing to entertain opportunities for a trade that would allow Carr to join a franchise with championship aspirations.

In the past season, Carr faced significant challenges including multiple shoulder injuries which limited his playing prospects, emphasizing how crucial a clean bill of health would be for any future endeavors in the league. The possibility of his return has reignited discussions among fans and analysts about his career trajectory and the impact he could still have in the league, should he successfully transition back onto the field.
