Derek Carr is currently searching for a new home somewhere in the NFL. While those areas include New Orleans, New York, and possibly even Carolina, one of the interested clubs has a pitch that includes the quarterback looking beyond his playing days and ending up in Canton with a gold jacket.
The 31-year-old quarterback recently visited with the Jets, and New York apparently made a strong push to bring Carr aboard. That visit, per ESPN, went well from both sides, with the Jets selling Carr on their ready-made roster that will be able to not only contend for the playoffs upon his potential arrival in 2023 but for the Super Bowl right out of the gate. On top of pitching overall team success, this latest report notes that the Jets told Carr that they believe if he comes to their organization and wins, he could be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
The Big Apple, a Lombardi Trophy, and a gold jacket?! Was the moon not available?
While Carr is a solid Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback and would certainly be an upgrade from the play New York received last year, projecting him to end up a first-ballot Hall of Famer would be a remarkable turn of events considering where he's currently at in his career. He will be 32 years old by the start of next season and is without a single playoff win. For those wondering at home, Y.A. Tittle is the only Hall of Fame quarterback since 1960 who doesn't have a playoff win.
