As June 2 arrives, the New Orleans Saints see one of their notable offensive tackles retire, yet Ryan Ramczyk remains active. Notably, there has been no official announcement regarding Derek Carr's retirement either. Both players have previously indicated plans to step away from the game by 2025, but financial factors contribute to their hesitance in finalizing retirement.
