Derek Carr’s brother doesn’t see QB pulling a Tom Brady after retirement shocker
NY Post
David Carr recently spent time on the links with his younger brother, former Saints and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who shocked the NFL world over the weekend by retiring at the age of 34.
David, a former No. 1 pick with the Texans, could not believe how many times their round of golf had to be paused momentarily for ex-teammates or coaches to reach out to Derek and offer praise.
“It was every other shot his phone was ringing from either an ex-head coach or someone he played against, just non-stop outpour. He just put them on speaker and he didn’t have chats with them,” David said Tuesday on NFL Network. “It was incredible to see the impact he’s had on his teammates, and it wasn’t just a football thing because you win games, you lose games. But in reality, it’s the impact you make on the guys around you and I was kind of shocked by honestly, the amount of people that called just loving the fact they got play with him and know him and that meant for me, more than anything.”
Spending that time with his brother and discussing why he decided to move on from the sport after 11 seasons left David, 45, confident that this will not prove to be a situation where Derek suddenly gets the itch to return in a year or two after giving his ailing shoulder and rotator cuff time to recover.
Tom Brady notably retired after the 2021 season, only to decide roughly six weeks later that he would return for one more season with the Buccaneers.
“I believe that he is done. I know that Derek loves the game. Here’s what I’ll tell you: More than anything, he loved the teammates, he loved being around the personalities,” David said of his brother’s future.
