Over the weekend, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr announced his retirement, citing his shoulder injury that requires surgery that would knock him out for the 2025 season.
And while Carr is still at an age where he could potentially decide to return after a year away from the game if his shoulder fully heals, ProFootballTalk reports that it is “extremely unlikely” that he does so, and that Carr is already lining up “other professional plans.”
Carr, 34, retired after 11 NFL seasons due to an injury that the Saints described as a labral tear accompanied by significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff in his right throwing shoulder. He tried to get by with injections and rehabilitation, but they didn’t take and the best course of action became surgery; and Carr decided instead to call it a career.
“Upon reflection of prayer, and in discussion with (Carr’s wife) Heather, I’ve decided to retire from the National Football League,” Carr said in a statement. “For more than 11 years, we have been incredibly blessed, and we are forever grateful and humbled by this experience. It’s difficult to find the right words to express our thanks to all the teammates, coaches, management, ownership, team officials and especially the fans who made this journey so special. Your unwavering support has meant the world to us.”

After years of lawsuits and near-implosion, ACC spring meetings offer return to stability — for now, at least
Getty Images AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- Two years ago, the ACC's administrators clashed behind closed doors as the conference's future came under fire.The very existence of the league was at stake. Seven schools were openly exploring options to exit the conference and examining how to legally break an ironclad grant of rights agreement without paying hefty exit fees. League linchpins Clemson and Florida State were serious about leaving their comrades behind to fight for scraps. Multiple lawsuits involving the ACC, FSU and Clemson were filed."I certainly wasn't happy about the instability it caused," ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said Wednesday. "I got it.

Enzo Maresca insists that Nicolas Jackson has the maturity to be Chelsea’s long-term No 9, adding that the striker has accepted he made a “mistake” to earn a red card against Newcastle.Jackson, 23, was sent off in the 36th minute at St James’ Park after a VAR review found he had committed violent conduct by raising his forearm into the head of Newcastle defender Sven Botman as the two men prepared to compete for a high ball out of the Chelsea defence.AdvertisementAlready 1-0 down, Chelsea eventually fell to a 2-0 defeat that damaged their hopes of a top-five finish in the Premier League, and will be without the suspended Jackson for the final two league games of the season against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest.Jackson’s absence gives Maresca a problem with Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu still unavailable due to […]
Mladou Boleslav posílí švédský útočník
