OT: NFL QBs: Justin Fields signs with NY Jets, Darnold signs w/Seahawks, Russ signs w/Giants, Stafford stays w/Rams, Carr Retires

If they face plant and go 6-11, wonder what they would do

Draft a QB lol

Probably better road to drafting a QB next year. Problem is they can’t help but win like 9 games and be in the same spot year after year.

If they draft a QB this year or roll with Mason - that QB is in a tough spot with two malcontents to manage and a below average RB room for an offense that's going to look to run the ball.

If they roll with Rodgers - they've already enabled him by not demanding him participate in OTAs and Rodgers has had a tremendous ability to make everything significantly worse which could lead to the whole thing falling apart and Tomlin getting fired.

This may open the door for them to trade George Pickens. The Steelers owners didn’t speak too positively about him a few weeks ago. I read somewhere that the Packers were interested.

Two months later, we now know that it will be the Cowboys

Now rumors are that the Steelers are targeting Allen Lazard.

Shoulder injury forces Saints QB Derek Carr to retire​

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is retiring, the team announced on Saturday.

The team said that Carr had a labral tear and degenerative rotator cuff damage to his right throwing shoulder which was discovered in late March after Carr ramped up throwing to prepare for the season. The team said that Carr had not thrown significantly since he fractured his non-throwing hand during a game against the New York Giants in December.

According to the team, surgery was an option but that would have put the 2025 season in jeopardy, and Carr decided to retire instead.

"Upon reflection of prayer, and in discussion with Heather, I've decided to retire from the National Football League" Carr said in a statement released by the team. "For more than 11 years, we have been incredibly blessed, and we are forever grateful and humbled by this experience. It's difficult to find the right words to express our thanks to all the teammates, coaches, management, ownership, team officials and especially the fans who made this journey so special. Your unwavering support has meant the world to us."

Carr, a 2014 second-round draft pick for the Oakland Raiders, retires after 11 seasons. He spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Raiders before signing a four-year contract worth up to $150 million with the Saints during the 2023 free agency period.

Carr started 169 games for two teams and finishes with a 77-92-0 record as a starter. He completed 61.5 percent of his passes for 41,245 yards, 257 touchdowns and 112 interceptions.

The Saints quarterback room now consists of 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough, 2024 fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler and 2023 fourth-round pick Jake Haener.

News of Carr's injury was made public in early April, although both sides have been mostly quiet in the last month. Prior to the draft, the Saints said they were hoping for "clarity" on the situation, and Carr's first public comments came in late April, when he said he had a shoulder injury and dismissed speculation about the issue.

Carr said that he and the team had been in "constant communication" about the injury.

"We're figuring it out and we're gonna go forward with that," Carr said on April 28 during a guest sermon at Church LV in Las Vegas.
