The quarterback had a forgettable campaign ending it on a losing record. As the Raiders finished, 6-11 for the season, they didn’t secure a playoff spot. Carr was also benched for the last two games. With these factors, Carr’s off-season technically began before the start of the new year. Though it wasn’t the end he would have wanted, he got some extra time to spend with his wife and kids. Derek Carr is married to his college sweetheart Heather Neel.

Heather Carr also takes to her Instagram handle to post adorable images of her family and her quarterback husband.
This off-season with his family will be quite crucial for Derek Carr as he decides upon his future. The free agent has been heavily linked with the Saints. However, with other franchises in the hunt for a veteran QB, his options won’t be limited to the New Orleans franchise. With the kids growing up, the franchise that gives them access to the best education systems will also be key in their decision.
