In a stunning twist, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has ignited speculation about his future with the team. During a post-game interview on Tuesday, Carr made cryptic comments about his time in New Orleans, leaving fans and analysts questioning whether a move back to the Las Vegas Raiders could be in the works.
“I’ve loved my time here, but football is unpredictable. You never know where the journey will take you,” Carr stated. While he stopped short of confirming any plans, the remark has fueled rumors of a potential reunion with his former team in Las Vegas.
Carr joined the Saints in 2023 after nine seasons with the Raiders, where he became the franchise’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. Despite his contributions in New Orleans, the team has struggled to find consistency, finishing 5-12 in the 2024 season.
Sources close to the situation suggest Carr may be frustrated with the team’s direction, especially with a looming coaching overhaul and roster uncertainties. Meanwhile, whispers from Las Vegas hint that the Raiders, looking to stabilize their quarterback position, could be open to a reunion.
The Saints organization has not commented on the matter, but head coach Matt LaFleur dismissed the rumors as “pure speculation.” Fans, however, are bracing for what could be a dramatic offseason for the team and its star quarterback.
As the story unfolds, one thing is clear: Derek Carr’s future is now the talk of both New Orleans and Las Vegas.
