Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Derek Carr

Sunday, May 25, 10:06 AM

Free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues to be vague about where he wants to play, but at least addressed it on Saturday. A fan asked Rodgers if he would consider playing for the Chicago Bears, which he said no. The long-time Green Bay Packers quarterback has no interest in backing up Caleb Williams. However, Rodgers said there is a team that he might play in Chicago this year. Both the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers play in Chicago this upcoming season. The Steelers remain the most obvious choice, but for some reason the two sides still haven't come to an agreement.

Everyone concedes that quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) was dealing with a torn right labrum and "significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff," but not everyone believes it's the full story of why he abruptly retired, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Katherine Terrell. Just before free agency in early March, word began to spread within league circles that Carr, who was heading into the third year of a four-year, $150 million contract, was open to playing elsewhere. According to three league sources, one of his representatives spoke with at least two teams in the market for a QB about potential interest in Carr. A team source said Carr had a close kinship with last season's coaches in New Orleans, who are all now gone, and the Saints' plan to restructure his contract was another potential source of friction. New head coach Kellen Moore never fully committed to Carr being the starter in 2025, either, before learning of his shoulder injury. It sounds as though in addition to his shoulder injury, Carr knew 2025 was going to be his last with the Saints, and rather than trying to figure out a plan to play elsewhere, he decided to hang up his cleats.
