The 2025 offseason has been anything but rosy for Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints. First the quarterback reportedly sought a trade while anticipating the team would pursue his successor. Then reports indicated he might sit out the entire 2025 season due to a previously undisclosed shoulder injury. On Wednesday, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis addressed the situation, while repeatedly evading questions about Carr’s future.
“He does have an issue with his shoulder,” Loomis told reporters in a pre-draft news conference. “We’re hoping to get some resolution, [some] clarity on that in the near future. And when we do, I’ll report back to you. Otherwise, I don’t have anything more to state about Derek.”
When asked to elaborate on Carr’s status, Loomis twice declined to do so.
“I’m just not gonna answer anymore questions about Derek,” Loomis said. “This is a pre-draft — if you have questions about the draft, I’m more than happy to answer those … But I’m not gonna answer anymore questions about that today. … I’m not gonna answer any questions about Derek at this time.”
The comments don’t exactly paint a prettier picture of the two sides’ relationship. They come less than two weeks after NFL Media first reported that Carr’s shoulder issue could threaten his availability for 2025. That report, meanwhile, came weeks after NewOrleans.Football indicated Carr’s standing with Saints brass was “tenuous at best,” even though the quarterback restructured his contract to remain with the organization earlier this offseason.
Regardless of Carr’s contract, which technically ties the former Las Vegas Raiders starter to New Orleans through the 2026 season, the Saints were widely expected to pursue a potential quarterback of the future in this year’s draft. Originally signed to a $150 million deal in 2023 free agency, Carr missed seven games due to injury last season, while playing through other ailments the year prior. He’s gone just 14-13 as the club’s starter.
The Saints, meanwhile, have been strongly linked to several of this year’s top quarterback prospects, including Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart and Alabama’s Jalen Milroe.

Rockets need Jalen Green to get going to stave off elimination by the Warriors
SAN FRANCISCO — About 30 minutes after the Houston Rockets’ gut-wrenching 106-103 Game 4 loss to the Golden State Warriors, a dispirited Jalen Green sat at his locker, attempting to process a swirl of emotions. Most of his teammates had departed for the buses, leaving behind an empty, despondent locker room.AdvertisementGreen, fully dressed, stared out at the entryway, almost as if he were searching for an answer that wasn’t coming.In that moment, Green was more than just a member of a Rockets team on the brink of elimination, once again at the hands of those pesky, feisty, battle-tested Warriors.

Jerry Jones puts more pressure on Tyler Booker by comparing him to Michael Irvin on a must-have aspect of Cowboys’ game
Following the 2025 NFL Draft, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones couldn't hide his excitement over first-round pick Tyler Booker. While the former Alabama standout may line up in the trenches rather than on the outside, Jones believes Booker shares a rare and invaluable trait with one of the most iconic figures in Cowboys history - Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin.Irvin, known as "The Playmaker," was instrumental in building the Cowboys' 1990s dynasty, winning three Super Bowls and establishing a legacy built on competitiveness, toughness, and most of all, leadership. In speaking about Booker after the draft, Jones drew a powerful comparison between the rookie guard and the legendary receiver, focusing specifically on the leadership qualities both men possess."Listening to Tyler, I'm reminded that I don't know that we ever see a Super Bowl that I […]
