Derek Carr recently stopped by the Dan Patrick show, and while discussing his recent foray into the broadcast booth, Carr revealed that he hasn’t ruled out a return to the NFL.
“I wouldn’t say never,” Carr told Patrick. “Because I’ve learned that when I say never, it usually happens. I think we’ve all probably learned that. For me, I’m training because I love to train. That’s going to be the rest of my life. I love to train.
The rumor that Carr wanted a trade prior to the Saints triggering his contract restructure now holds weight. Carr’s refusal to play cough, cough, retirement also came with him returning the money received from the restructure.
As amicable of a split between player and team as possible.
