Derek Carr's injury makes Saints more focused on Shedeur Sanders
According to reports, quarterback Derek Carr, who wears a New Orleans Saints jerseys, suffered a serious shoulder injury that may require surgery. This puts his 2025 NFL season in question and puts pressure on the Saints' quarterback position.
So don't be surprised if the Saints might want to give a quarterback a little more serious consideration in this month's draft. As it stands, the Saints have the ninth overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, and due to Carr's shoulder injury, they are currently the most likely to select Shedeur Sanders.
If the Saints like Sanders enough to put him in a new nfl jersey, they can move up seven spots, even if it costs something. But the Saints are unsure if the quarterback they want will be selected. Now that the rest of the NFL knows about Carr's injury, it weakens the Saints' bargaining chip, but also makes signing Sanders more likely.
