REPORT: Derek Carr Could “Unretire” | Would He Make Sense For The New York Jets In 2026?

46 comments

1. Derek Carr is not the answer

2. No Thanks!!! Ty Simpson and like Brissett

3. CAP Justin Fields 22M Aaron Rodgers 35M+ Derek Carr 36M crazy. and you like every one. i don't get

4. I thought Carr and Davante Adams were good friends. Wouldn’t Adams tell him not to come here?

5. Carr was so much better than any QB we've had since Pennington that it's not even worth discussing. If he's healthy enough to play and really wants to play, he'd be fine to start in 2026 as long as we're grooming a highly drafted QB in back of him. He's also have a lot to teach any such draft pick.

6. Will Levis?

7. This is a horrible idea. Frank Reich went QB roulette with Indy after Luck. Matt Ryan. Phillip Rivers. Carson Wentz. Carr coming off an injury and retirement? Nah. Especially if we have to trade for him. Would rather work out a trade for Jacoby Brissett, who Reich has personal experience with.

8. No, just……..no.

9. NOOOOO……..that's a terrible idea. Good for him

10. Listen I think we can go after Herbert or burrow or Stroud with our next year picks and this year picks a pick 16 and a pick next year we can get Herbert

11. No. Period- Full Stop. Next…

12. We have too many better options on the table outside of Carr please don’t.

13. It’s better that you draft a Simpson, Chambliss, Nussmeier or someone with a later pick and let them play

14. Anybody saying Derek Carr isn’t an option assumes we have options. Any QB we draft this upcoming season will not start if Glenn wants to keep his job. Kyler Murray feels like the Justin Fields experiment and we saw how that went. Cousins, Carr, and these other veteran QBs that can understand defenses and make reads can win 6-9 games and save Glenn’s job for another year.

15. Brother it would be a great story for us however if he does un retired it will be to help his ex team raiders because of kobiak.

16. No thanks

17. Definitely a possibility to consider Carr, assuming his arm is healed. All we're looking for is a bridge QB until our 2027 draft QB arrives, so why not?

18. So if Carr comes back, does that mean Davante will come back? 😂 With the Jets" luck, he will wreck his knee in his first home game due to the turf. How about.bringing Namath or Kenny O'brien back?

19. Does Derek Carr still have the no trade clause?

20. Derek Carr is not going to come out of retirement to play for the Jets!! 😅

21. We could have had this guy years ago,but they passed!!!!!

22. No thank you I would take jacoby bressette all day

23. Why would we want a perrinal choke artist please for this team you cant take 1 step up and 3 steps back with Carr

24. Carr was a decent QB, but to be honest he was so banged up I don't think he physically is capable of playing well any more. It could be being off this season he feels healthy ,but it is a big concern.

25. HELL NO

26. Yall know the shrek meme where he looks up and smirks. 😂😂

27. I've alwasy liked Carr. I'd like to see him come back and it makes sense to who you said, Jets, Vikings or Raiders

28. Hell no . Keep his ass at home. I don’t like or even like considering players who fucked the jets at any point .

29. I think this would make a TON of sense for us. He would win enough to keep AG job, and keep us growing setting a standard for the future and culture. Also at that point we would sit Nuss or Simpson whichever we draft. I would be all over this if I were the Jets . Having to eat some contract we could probably get him for a 5th.

30. As a cheap bridge im down for it. But we need to hit on that QB pick.

31. Noooo go get Willis

32. Hat 🧢 🔥

33. I would take Carr I wanted him before we got Rodgers

34. When we should’ve got him the first time instead of arod…

35. He could be an option for someone else and push someone to Jets

36. Unretire and do what lol?

37. Noo pls

38. Huh?!🤔 Hmmmmmm where’s Cam Newton ?!

39. Absolutely not!! Jets need to not draft a QB this year build up the team at all area if need, as much as possible le and draft their franchise guy next year. Getting a QB in to win 7-8-9 games will put you in QB purgatory, and we will just go through the never wnding cycle of not having one.

40. Id rather have Geno Smith than Derek Carr, no way should the Jets even try to drive that car😅

41. Take Cousins he’s a free agent. Avoid Ty Simpson too frail and not a cold weather player. Take a flyer on Drew Allar in the mid rounds. He’s 6’5”, strong, has 36 starts and a rocket arm. Plus he can play in cold weather. If he fails no big deal. Draft your franchise quarterback in round one in 2027.

42. I wanted him over Rodgers but nah..he dipped to Nola.

43. sign him, cousins, and willis

44. Can we please get someone that fits the offense. I would rather Brissette or Murray than someone who just retired

45. Way to go Sam Darnold !! Carr needs to stay retired, Mac Jones would be a better bridge QB

46. Are we picking through the garbage for a QB? How about Sonny Jurgenson? Ho, he died this week.
