Former New Orleans Saints HC Dennis Allen shared his reaction to Derek Carr's retirement when speaking with Chicago Bears reporters over the weekend.

The New Orleans Saints say veteran quarterback Derek Carr has decided to retire because of a labral tear in his right shoulder and “significant degenerative changes” to his rotator cuff.

Dennis Allen was head coach of the Raiders when Oakland drafted Carr. Allen was also the head coach of the Saints when they signed Carr to a multi-year contract in 2023. He was (finally) fired by New Orleans seven games into last season. This offseason, Allen was hired to be the defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears.
