In a surprising turn, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr announced his retirement due to a significant shoulder injury involving a labral tear and rotator cuff damage.
This unexpected move has left the Saints with a quarterback void, leading them to consider veteran Aaron Rodgers as a potential replacement. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers are also in pursuit of Rodgers, having structured their 2025 draft around the possibility of acquiring him. The competition for Rodgers’ signature intensifies as both teams seek stability at the quarterback position.
The Saints’ current options—Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener—lack extensive professional experience, making the acquisition of a seasoned quarterback like Rodgers even more crucial.
