Former Las Vegas Raiders Derek Carr was expected to have his third season as a starter for the New Orleans Saints. However, that all changed Saturday morning with Carr deciding to retire from the NFL after 11 seasons.

Carr had a torn labrum in his shoulder that aggravated when he started to prepare for next season. The injury would have required surgery, but after talking with his family, Carr thought it would be better to walk away from the game.
