Derek Carr retires: What's next for the Saints?

"Derek Carr, one of the NFL's most tenured quarterbacks, has chosen to call it a career following a devastating shoulder injury that required reconstructive surgery, leaving the New Orleans Saints with a critical void at the quarterback position. The Saints now have Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener as potential successors, with coach Kellen Moore indicating a preference for youth over veteran experience. The team's restructuring of Carr's contract ensures compliance with the salary cap while paving the way for a cleaner slate in 2026."
