Derek Carr's wife reveals how ex-Saints QB spent first day of NFL retirement in new video
Derek Carr certainly made the most of his first day of NFL retirement.
The wife of the former Saints quarterback posted a new video Saturday of what Carr, 34, did in his free time after announcing Saturday he's stepping away from the game following 11 years in the league.
In the family-filled Instagram clip, Heather Carr documented her husband running in the yard and working out with the couple's four children before the pair went on a date.

As the video continued, Carr could be seen loading up his truck with golf clubs.
'Alright, babe, what's next on the first day of retirement?' Heather asked, to which her husband of nearly 13 years replied, 'I'm going to make The Tour.'
The family then settled down to dinner before Carr concluded the day watering the garden and sitting behind his computer.

'Ending our first day of retirement,' Heather said as she captured a smiling Carr in his office.
Carr, whose shoulder injury was revealed earlier in the offseason, opted to retire in lieu of undergoing surgery that likely would have sidelined him for the 2025 season.
'It's difficult to find the right words to express our thanks to all the teammates, coaches, management, ownership, team officials and especially the fans who made this journey so special. Your unwavering support has meant the world to us,' he said in a statement.

A 2014 second-round pick, Carr spent the first nine years of his career with the Raiders, who drafted him 36th overall out of Fresno State.
Upon being released by the franchise in 2023, Carr signed a four-year, $150 million contract with the Saints. He spent the past two years in New Orleans.
In 169 appearances, Carr threw for 41,245 yards, 257 touchdowns and 112 interceptions. He completed 65.1 percent of his passes.

Heather paid tribute to Carr and his 'amazing' career in a heartfelt Instagram message Saturday.
'Happy retirement my love! I'm so proud of you! What an amazing 11 year career. All your records, pro bowls, and accomplishments on the field don't even compare to the husband, dad and man you are off the field. I am so excited for what the Lord has next for us! There is so much more I want to say but I'll just tell you in person,' she gushed.

ARC Raiders Release Date Confirmed: Enter Speranza This Fall
Embark Studios, developer of The Finals, has revealed it'll release its next game, ARC Raiders, on Oct. 30. ARC Raiders is a third-person, player-versus-player-versus-environment extraction shooter set in a lush postapocalyptic world. Deadly machines have forced the last remnants of humanity to funnel into the underground city of Speranza. As medicine, food and other supplies dwindle, brave mercenaries called Raiders head topside to gun down robots (and other humans) and bring home shiny loot. Players are able to strike off on their own or band together in squads of three to increase their chances of survival. The release date reveal comes hot on the heels of the game's second tech test in May, when hundreds of thousands of players tried out the latest ARC Raiders build and tens of thousands of concurrent viewers made it one of the most-viewed games on Twitch. Embark Studios' executive producer, Aleksander Grøndal, said in a press release that the popularity of the test was the best rehearsal the developer could've hoped for ahead of the fall release. "The test also honed in on concrete things we're addressing in this last stretch of development," he said. "There are bugs to squash, as well as general polish and performance improvements to be done. We're also fine-tuning game balance and the player economy, and will work on an even better onboarding experience for players who come in new to this genre." Grøndal said ARC Raiders' postrelease support will focus first and foremost on adding new locations and new loot for players to discover. ARC Raiders' release date puts it in even more direct competition with Bungie's Marathon, which is slated for release on Sept. 23. Both games are entering a highly competitive niche gaming genre, where only giants like Escape From Tarkov have historically survived -- and many other innovative titles like The Cycle: Frontier have failed. ARC Raiders will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game will also be available through Nvidia GeForce Now cloud streaming.
