Overview
- NFL Network reports Carr is throwing fully without shoulder limitations after rehabbing through 2025 from a labral tear and rotator cuff damage.
- Sources say he is content in retirement but would consider unretiring for the right role and coaching staff rather than actively pursuing a comeback.
- Any signing would require a trade or agreement with New Orleans, which still holds his tolled contract; reporting indicates compensation would likely be modest given Tyler Shough’s emergence.
- Teams conducted due diligence during the 2025 season, including the Bengals contacting Carr after Joe Burrow’s turf toe injury, and those checks are continuing this offseason.
- Potential fits discussed in reports include a Raiders reunion tied to Klint Kubiak’s expected hiring, though Las Vegas is projected to draft Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick as league demand elevates Carr’s bridge value.
