New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is moving to Fresno.

No, the former Fresno State star is not retiring any time soon, but he told reporters in New Orleans that Fresno will be his family’s home during the NFL offseason.

“I’m excited for our kids to have a place they can call home,” Carr said. “We’ve moved a lot, and they’ve been asking me where we’re gonna grow up forever. We always told them Fresno. We finally get to do that. The kids are excited to do that. I’m excited for those things.”

Carr completed his second season with the Saints albeit shortened because of injuries.

Overall, Carr, 33, completed his 11th season and has passed for 41,245 yards and 257 touchdowns.

He played his first nine seasons with the Raiders before joining the Saints in 2023.
