Las Vegas lit up a little brighter as news broke early Sunday morning: Derek Carr, the longtime face of the Raiders franchise, announced he would return to the Silver and Black for one final season—his farewell tour.
After spending a year in New Orleans, Carr said the decision came from his heart. “Vegas was always home. I gave everything I had to this team, this city. I want to walk off that field one last time wearing the jersey I bled for.”
Raiders fans, many of whom were still recovering from the heartbreak of Carr’s controversial departure, flooded social media with emotion—some shocked, some skeptical, most thrilled. The franchise welcomed him back with open arms, naming him honorary captain and guaranteeing him the starting spot in Week 1.
In a heartfelt press conference at Allegiant Stadium, Carr spoke candidly. “I’m not here to chase numbers. I’m here to say goodbye the right way—to the fans, the locker room, and the city that made me who I am.”
The Raiders will face the Chargers in Week 1—a poetic matchup against one of Carr’s fiercest rivals. Win or lose, it promises to be a historic moment. The final chapter of Derek Carr’s career will be written under the neon lights of Las Vegas, where it all began.
And this time, it ends on his terms.
