Would Take "Special Situation" for Derek Carr to Unretire

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.

Bengals Release Veteran Quarterback Josh Johnson

Sunday, August 30, 9:05 AM

The Cincinnati Bengals released veteran quarterback Josh Johnson on Sunday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The end of the line could be coming for the 40-year-old journeyman QB who has spent time with the Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders, Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, and Cleveland Browns over the course of his 10 NFL seasons since being drafted in the fifth round by Tampa back in 2008 from the University of San Diego. If Johnson does latch on with another squad before the start of the 2026 campaign, he will merely be veteran QB depth with a path to a starting role very unlikely. He played in five games (two starts) with the Commanders last year and threw for 372 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on 54 passing attempts. Johnson has a 58.7% career completion percentage with 2,669 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions in 50 games (11 starts).
