Derek Carr News
Friday, July 10, 9:13 AM
In an appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football on Friday, retired quarterback Derek Carr said that multiple NFL teams have reached out to him this offseason about a comeback, but it would take a "special situation" for him to come out of retirement in 2026. "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." The only scenario in which Carr would even consider coming back would have to be with a Super Bowl contender, but there aren't many of those teams in need of a QB. The former second-rounder in 2014 by the Raiders, Carr spent nine years with the Raiders before spending his final two campaigns with the New Orleans Saints before retiring abruptly last offseason. The 35-year-old finished his 11-year NFL career with a 65.1% completion percentage, 41,245 passing yards, 257 touchdowns, and 112 interceptions in 169 regular-season starts for the Raiders and Saints.

Jared Goff News
Saturday, October 31, 5:53 AM
Across six games in 2026, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 67.3% of his pass attempts and thrown for 1,788 yards, 14 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 32-year-old has thrown multiple touchdown passes in five out of his games this season and currently leads the NFL in passing yards per game (298.0). However, Goff and the Lions face a tough Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Through seven weeks, Minnesota ranks first in the NFL in both total passing yards allowed (1,085) and passing touchdowns allowed (three). Goff also struggled against the Vikings in 2025, throwing two interceptions and taking 10 sacks across two games. Still, Detroit's offense is healthier than it was in 2025, and the Lions may have to throw the ball to stay in the game. All in all, Goff profiles as a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers in Week 8.
