BREAKING: Shedeur Sanders makes final decision Over New Orleans Saints move

Will Shedeur Sanders end up with the Saints?

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr could potentially miss the entire 2025 season with a shoulder injury. This injury has turned up the urgency on the Saints to find a franchise quarterback in the NFL Draft.

Among all the quarterback prospects the Saints could pursue, Colorado signal caller Shedeur Sanders is the best option available. A lot of experts expect the Saints to select Sanders at pick No. 9 in the first round of the draft.

NFL Spinzone’s Lou Scataglia recently put together a mock draft for the NFL Draft. Scataglia predicted the Colorado signal caller would land with the Pittsburgh Steelers at pick No. 21 rather than with the Saints.

“The Pittsburgh Steelers being able to grab Shedeur Sanders at pick 21 would be the ideal scenario,” Scataglia wrote. “The biggest threat to the Steelers quest to take Sanders, if that is what they want, is a team leap-frogging them with a trade up to the 20th pick, for example. Well, that did not happen in this mock draft, as Steelers GM Omar Khan is able to stay put and take who they hope to be their franchise QB.”

In this mock draft, Scataglia has the Saints passing up on Sanders at pick No. 9. With him falling all the way to pick No. 21, the Saints could explore a trade up scenario in this situation.

Either way, missing out on Sanders would be quite a disaster for the Saints, but there’s almost no chance the Steelers would pass up on the superstar prospect.

“Everyone’s time comes to an end’ Former Saints LB Blast Derek Carr after shoulder injury news

The New Orleans Saints were thrown quite the curveball over the weekend when it was reported that Derek Carr’s 2025 season could be in jeopardy due to a shoulder injury he suffered. It’s worth noting that even before Carr’s injury came into play, the Saints were likely considering taking a quarterback in the first round.

That has led some fans to speculate if perhaps Carr simply didn’t want to play mentor and is saying he’s too injured so that he doesn’t have to be in that role this year or compete with the rookie signal-caller that gets drafted. Former Saints linebacker Scott Shanle touched on this in a recent social media post and unleashed on Carr.

“My two cents about Derek Carr shoulder injury news. If he’s pouting because the Saints are gonna look for a young QB in the draft he’s too thin skinned to be your quarterback and the guys in that locker room deserve better. A competitive person would say it’s time to play so well the young guy won’t touch the field anyways. Nothing is promised to anyone in the NFL. Everyone’s time comes to an end. Nobody is owed anything.
If really injured should be at facility and surrounded by surgery specialists today!

Scott Shanle doesn’t hold back when voicing opinions on Derek Carr injury saga

Now it’s worth noting that we don’t know for certain what’s going on here. Saints fans are pretty fed up with Carr so jumping to the conclusion that he’s done with the team and doesn’t want to help mentor a young quarterback could be a result of that frustration. That being said, Shanle speaking up on the matter puts it more into focus and he didn’t mince words here.

The part that really jumped out at me here was “A competitive person would say it’s time to play so well the young guy won’t touch the field anyways” and that’s so true. These guys are crazy competitive and we’ve seen in the past how veteran quarterbacks play their tails off after their team drafts a guy to prove they’re not done yet. Shanle’s comment makes it sound as though Carr does not fall into that category. If Carr is truly injured, however, then playing is not an option for him.

This is just another chapter in the ‘Derek Carr was a bad signing’ book and hopefully soon, the Saints can move on from the situation. Maybe they’ll even find their franchise quarterback in this draft and can move on a lot faster.

INCOMING: Saints Ready to Steal $72 Million Superstar From Dolphins In Massive Trade deal

The New Orleans Saints have made strides in the right direction over the last year or so, but their roster is still rather weak, specifically at cornerback. The Saints traded away Marshon Lattimore last season and opted to let Paulson Adebo walk in free agency this offseason.

Now, they need to turn the either the NFL Draft, trade block, or both in order to land a star defensive back. Luckily for New Orleans, the ideal option reportedly just landed on the trade block.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport recently reported that the Miami Dolphins and superstar cornerback Jalen Ramsey are mutually set to explore trade options for the star.

“The Dolphins and seven-time Pro Bowl CB Jalen Ramsey are mutually set to explore trade options and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he played elsewhere in 2025,” Rapoport wrote in a post to Twitter/X. “While there is no firm deadline on a possible trade, with the NFL Draft 9 days away, completing a trade prior to the draft would make sense — if only so Miami can use the pick or picks they would acquire for Ramsey.”

The Saints worked hard to fix their cap situation this offseason and acquiring Ramsey would take a step in the wrong direction on that front, but he’s a superstar cornerback with the ability to shut down some of the game’s best pass catchers.

The Saints need a No. 1 cornerback heading into next season and it likely wouldn’t cost a huge haul of draft picks to steal Ramsey from the Dolphins. If he’s as affordable as many expect him to be, it would be foolish for the Saints to not throw their name in the hat to land hi,.

Saints Star Alvin Kamara meets with Colorado Running Backs in a bid to bring him to New Orleans

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara sparked talk about possible team interest in Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders when he visited the Colorado Buffaloes’ spring practice in early April 2025.

Kamara, an eight-year NFL veteran coming off a strong 2024 season with 1,493 total yards, was seen giving advice to Colorado’s running backs and spending time with head coach Deion Sanders. His visit led fans and insiders to wonder if he was there to scout Shedeur Sanders, a likely top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, especially with Saints quarterback Derek Carr dealing with a shoulder injury. However, Kamara may have had other reasons for the visit, including supporting his personal trainer, Andreu Swasey, who was recently hired as Colorado’s strength coach.

Kamara Shares His Knowledge with Colorado’s Running Backs

During his visit to Colorado’s spring practice, Kamara took time to share game knowledge with the Buffaloes’ running backs. One key piece of advice he gave was about balancing vision and patience when reading running lanes. Kamara said, “Man, the cutbacks are going to be there. Don’t be so cutback heavy. It always feels like the cutback is going to be the big play, but when you pause the tape, the front side is going to be wide open.” His message highlighted the importance of trusting the design of the play and not always trying to bounce it outside for a highlight moment—something young backs often struggle with.

While Kamara’s visit sparked plenty of speculation about Sanders, it’s clear his presence also brought real value to Colorado’s backfield. With Swasey now on staff and Sanders gaining national attention, Kamara’s connection to the program makes sense. Regardless of what the future holds, Kamara’s advice left a strong impression—and the running backs will carry those lessons into the upcoming season.

Saints set to swing Trade For $57 Million Championship Star To Upgrade Offense

The New Orleans Saints have a lot of positions to address at the top of the first round in the NFL Draft, but the Saints only have one pick to draft with. Because of this, the Saints could get creative as they look to fill the holes on their roster.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been a trade candidate for the last few weeks, and he should receive a lot of interest during the draft. It’s unclear whether the Saints are going to try to trade for him, but they definitely should.

Moe Moton of Bleacher Report recently cited a few NFL insiders as they predicted Goedert would be traded to the Indianapolis Colts.

“Multiple reporters have discussed Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert as someone who could be on the move this offseason,” Moton wrote. “According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, the Eagles are “holding out hope for at least a 4th-round pick” in exchange for Goedert. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo also mentioned Goedert as a trade candidate to monitor nearing the draft.”

While Moton might feel like the Colts are the best fit for the Eagles tight end, the Saints could be a darkhorse in the trade sweepstakes for Goedert.

New Orleans brought Juwan Johnson back this offseason, but if it can pick up Goedert for a fifth or sixth round pick, the Saints would be foolish not to.

With Derek Carr likely out for the season, the Saints need as much firepower on offense for whichever quarterback takes over. If this includes making trades for talented wide receivers or tight ends, the Saints should at least consider it.
