Derek Carr’s net worth is estimated at $80 million. Carr is a former NFL quarterback who spent 11 seasons in the league, nine with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders and two with the New Orleans Saints, accumulating more than $205 million in career earnings before retiring in May 2025 due to a shoulder injury.
Updated March 2026: According to Spotrac, Carr’s total NFL career earnings reached approximately $205.7 million across 11 seasons, ranking him 18th on the all-time NFL career earnings list. After receiving a $10 million roster bonus in March 2025, he announced his retirement on May 10, 2025, forfeiting the remaining $30 million guaranteed base salary on his four-year, $150 million Saints contract.
Derek Dallas Carr was born on March 28, 1991, in Fresno, California, the youngest of three children born to Rodger and Sheryl Carr. His family relocated to Sugar Land, Texas in 2002 when his older brother, David Carr, was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans — making the Carrs one of the few NFL families to produce two starting quarterbacks. Derek attended Clements High School in Sugar Land, where he led the team to a 13–1 record in 2007, before transferring back to California for his senior year at Bakersfield Christian High School. He guided Bakersfield Christian to a 12–1 record and the CIF Central Section Division V championship in 2008, setting a Central Section record with 544 passing yards in a single game and earning National Player of the Year honors from the National Private Schools Athletic Association in 2009.
Carr enrolled at Fresno State University, where he played for the Bulldogs from 2009 to 2013. In his senior season, he led the nation with 5,083 passing yards and 50 touchdown passes, earning the Sammy Baugh Trophy as the nation’s top college passer. He was a two-time Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year (2012, 2013) and his No. 4 jersey was retired by Fresno State following his career. He carried that number as a tribute to Brett Favre, his childhood idol.
The Oakland Raiders selected Carr in the second round (36th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. He stepped into the starting lineup immediately and over the next nine seasons broke virtually every franchise passing record. According to ESPN, Carr finished his career with 41,245 passing yards, 257 touchdown passes, and 112 interceptions across 169 games, posting a career completion rate of 65.1% and a passer rating of 92.8.
His breakout campaign came in 2015, when he threw for 3,987 yards and 32 touchdowns — at the time the most TDs ever by a Raider QB in a single season. He earned his first Pro Bowl nod that year and followed it with his best overall season in 2016: 3,937 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only 6 interceptions (a 96.7 passer rating), and a 12–3 record as a starter before suffering a broken fibula on Christmas Eve that ended his season. The Raiders made the playoffs for the first time since 2002, but Carr could not play. He was selected to the Pro Bowl four times (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2022).
After signing consecutive megacontracts — a five-year, $125 million extension in 2017 and a three-year, $121.5 million extension in 2022 — Carr was released by Las Vegas in February 2023 following a 6–11 season. He signed a four-year, $150 million contract with the New Orleans Saints in March 2023. In his first season in New Orleans, Carr threw for 3,878 yards and 25 touchdowns with just 8 interceptions across 17 starts, earning a 97.7 passer rating. A shoulder injury limited him to 10 games in 2024, during which he still managed a 101.0 passer rating. He announced his retirement on May 10, 2025 — citing a labral tear and significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff — finishing with a 77–92 career regular-season record and a 0–1 playoff record.
Derek Carr married Heather Neel on June 29, 2012. The two met while students at Fresno State University, where Heather was working as a waitress and Derek was playing football. The couple have four children together: son Dallas Mason (born August 5, 2013), son Deker Luke (born March 17, 2016), son Deakon Derek (born May 2019), and daughter Brooklyn Mae (born November 30, 2020). In late November 2025, Heather announced a fifth pregnancy, with the baby due in April 2026. Following Derek’s retirement, the family relocated from New Orleans back to Fresno, California in January 2026, per ABC30 Fresno.
During his playing career, Carr owned a seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate in the Southern Highlands community of Las Vegas, built in 2020. After signing with the Saints in 2023, he listed the property for $8,990,000 and sold it in September 2024 for $8.55 million — the highest-priced residential sale in the Las Vegas valley that month, per Las Vegas Business Press.
Faith has been a constant throughout Carr’s life. He has tattoos on his wrists referencing the Bible verse Jeremiah and the Chi Rho symbol. Carr and his wife co-founded the DC4KIDS Touchdown Challenge, which raises funds for Valley Children’s Healthcare in Fresno — a cause deeply personal to the family after their eldest son Dallas required three surgeries as an infant for a condition called intestinal malrotation. Carr also partners with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. His older brother David Carr, the former NFL QB and current ESPN analyst, has been a lifelong influence on his career.
In retirement, Carr has expressed interest in broadcasting, specifically college football coverage, and has not ruled out a future coaching role, per ESPN.
