The New Orleans Saints saw veteran quarterback Derek Carr suddenly retire from the NFL on Saturday as he dealt with another injury.

No, not the Minnesota Vikings, who are fully rolling with J.J. McCarthy after letting the Rodgers ship sail. How about the New Orleans Saints, whose suddenly iffy relationship with incumbent starter Derek Carr took a dramatic turn this week when Carr announced his retirement at age 34?

Carr started at least 15 games in each of his first 10 seasons. He did suffer a fractured fibula in Week 16 of the 2016 campaign for the Oakland Raiders that kept him out for the final game of the regular season and their playoff loss to the Houston Texans.
