Derek Carr announced his retirement after 11 NFL seasons before his 2025 campaign with the New Orleans Saints.
Now, the 35-year-old quarterback is enjoying his time away from the field.
"I'll never say never. It would take a special situation," Carr said.
"There were multiple teams that reached out to me this offseason, and I won't say who or how, but they reached out. Just gave them my interest on what I wanted to do and all those things. They were good, solid football teams, but a couple of them in some different situations.
"Carr didn't fully shut the door on an NFL return. However, it would have to be with a Super Bowl contender.
"I think I'm just at the point where I just want to win, man," Carr added. "I want to win, and I want to do those things. 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.
"Carr last played in 2024, completing 67.7% of his pass attempts for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions through 10 games with the Saints.
