"'Thank you' doesn't say enough. To my incredible family and friends, thank you for your love and support," Carr's caption read. "To the Raiders and Saints organizations, Mr. Davis and Mrs. Benson, thank you for giving me the opportunity to live out a childhood dream. TRo every coach who shaped me, every teammate I went to battle with, and every opponent who pushed me, I'm grateful to the grind, the memories, and the brotherhood. To the fans, thank you for riding with me through the highs, the lows, the injuries, the comebacks, the records and the Pro Bowls.
"Through it all, I gave this game everything I had every single day. I sleep well knowing that I gave my teammates, my coaches and my cities my all. Now, I look forward to whatever God has next and I'll pursue it with the same fire I brought to the field. God bless, and see you soon."
Rattler also commented on that posts with a 100 emoji and another with his fingers twisted, signifying he's tied in with Carr as a close friend.
