The Jets will not bring Derek Carr to the franchise during their 2026 quarterback search.

The March 6 sentence explicitly discusses signing, whereas February comments attack the idea or assert current interest. Retain an unscored acquisition forecast without a fabricated offseason expiration.

Carr remained retired in the supplied NFL report. The source gives no explicit endpoint for the Jets search; current retirement alone cannot prove a permanent no-signing prediction.

February 20 is earlier than the March 6 no-signing statement and explicitly forecasts a future non-acquisition. Preserve the broader original wording and one canonical result. Earlier criticism of wanting Carr is preference, not a firm forecast. Jev flagged fidelity and timing. Reviewer confirms Dead End Derek refers to Carr, but retains needs ruling because the acquisition window is not explicit; no result is awarded.

This earlier statement rules out a Carr acquisition but supplies no explicit endpoint for the search. The displayed date is a review checkpoint, not an invented expiration. It remains unscored.
