Saints' Derek Carr: Accepts adviser position at UCLA
UCLA football announced Monday that Carr has joined the program as a special adviser to head coach Bob Chesney, Paolo Uggetti of ESPN.com reports.
The 35-year-old quarterback remains on the Saints' reserve/retired list for now. Carr noted during an appearance on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" earlier this summer that he wouldn't completely close the door on a return to the NFL if the right opportunity presented itself, but that now appears far less likely to happen.

Saints' Derek Carr: Draws interest from multiple clubs
Carr has been contacted by "multiple" NFL teams about a potential comeback, but he's unlikely to come out of retirement, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Carr shared on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" on Friday that he hasn't completely shut the door on a return to the league, but he also hinted that such a return is unlikely. "If I were to do it, it'd have to be a special team that maybe lost somebody or needed somebody. Even then, it's not guaranteed. I'm having too much fun hanging out with my wife, hanging out with my kids and trying to get good at golf. It would take a special deal, but I'm always training. I got to. I got four boys that can't beat me up when they're 18, so I got to keep training. I'll be in shape and ready, but probably not. I'll probably be just coaching my kids, that's for sure," the former Raiders and Saints QB stated. It sounds like fantasy managers shouldn't count on Carr being a quarterback option at any point in 2026, though the 35-year-old did comment, "I'll never say never."

Saints' Derek Carr: Could unretire for right situation
Carr (shoulder) could consider ending his retirement and returning to the NFL, depending on the "right situation and coaching staff," sources tell Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
According to the report, Carr doesn't appear to be actively pursuing a return to the league after sitting out the 2025 season, though he acknowledged a few months ago that he would "never say never" when it comes to resuming his playing career. After an injury-plagued 2024 campaign in which he dealt with a labral tear of his throwing shoulder as well as a broken left hand and an oblique strain, Carr announced his retirement last May and was placed on the Saints' reserve/retired list. Carr avoided surgery to address the shoulder injury and has since made a full recovery through extended rest and rehab, which has resulted in teams having renewed interest in exploring whether the 34-year-old might want to return to the NFL. The Saints still hold Carr's rights, but with Tyler Shough coming off an impressive rookie season and establishing himself as the team's starting quarterback entering 2026, New Orleans would likely be willing to waive Carr or trade him at a minimal cost if he decides to come out of retirement.
