At the beginning of April, it was reported that Derek Carr, quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, suffered a shoulder injury that might require surgery and could jeopardize his participation in the 2025 NFL season. However, there have been no further updates on the matter.
After this news about the Saints surfaced, speculation began that New Orleans could be a top candidate to select Shedeur Sanders from the Colorado Buffaloes with the 9th overall pick in the NFL Draft. In fact, betting markets currently list Shedeur as a future Saints player – but it seems the team isn’t fully convinced yet.

The Saints Are Hopeful for Derek Carr’s Return
At a press conference, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis gave a brief statement regarding Derek Carr’s situation.
“He has a shoulder issue,” said Loomis. “We hope to have a resolution and more clarity soon. And when we do, I’ll let you know. For now, I don’t have anything else to say about Derek.”
Loomis also spoke about how the Saints will approach the draft, though he gave no hint as to whether the team plans to draft a quarterback – something that will only be revealed on Thursday in Green Bay.
“I don’t think our approach to the draft is any different from any other year,” said the veteran GM. “We’re looking for as many good players, great players, as we can find. This year, we’re fortunate to have multiple picks in the first four rounds, and that excites us because I believe this draft has depth that can help us strengthen the roster.”
For now, the uncertainty remains about what decision the Saints will make. In 2024, Carr played in 10 games before suffering a fracture in his left hand. Over the season, he totaled 2,145 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions.
The draft will be intriguing in terms of where Shedeur Sanders ends up – but if the Saints pass on him, the quarterback could slip all the way to the second round, which would be a shocking outcome for Shedeur.

No edge rushers for Lions on NFL Draft Day 2 as Brad Holmes sticks to his plan
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions war room were spotted wearing hoodies that read “HWS” — height, weight, speed — crossed out. The Lions typically coordinate their apparel during draft weekend. They’ve worn “positional villain” hoodies. They’ve collectively worn Dan Campbell jerseys, perhaps an ode to drafting Dan Campbell guys. So when Holmes emerged Friday at the end of night two, he explained the latest draft-related message.Advertisement“Height, weight, speed — it is the opposite of film evaluation, and we’re all about film evaluation,” Holmes said. “That’s the hard part of scouting. Height, weight, speed is easy. Stats are easy. A position listed is easy. But film evaluation is hard to figure out.”The Lions believe in film. They believe it doesn’t lie. The film told them that Georgia guard Tate Ratledge and Arkansas wide reciever Isaac TeSlaa […]
With Game 3 win, Devils show resolve that could benefit them long beyond the playoffs
NEWARK, N.J. — Friday night’s double-overtime victory doesn’t mean the New Jersey Devils will win this series. It doesn’t even mean they’ll reach Game 6. They are still the heavy underdogs and trailing 2-1 against a Carolina Hurricanes team that is healthier and has more recent playoff success. Not many people would bat an eye if Carolina won the next two games and sent the Devils home for the summer.AdvertisementBut that doesn’t change the importance of New Jersey’s Game 3 win. It’s the type of game that will stick with players on the roster, from overtime hero Simon Nemec — a healthy scratch earlier this series — to Jonas Siegenthaler, who played his first game since February, to young players like Paul Cotter and Cody Glass, who took their first-ever playoff overtime shifts.It’s the type of win that builds the […]

Eagles see Andrew Mukuba as a physical, disciplined safety; stockpiled Day 3 picks with trades
PHILADELPHIA — Howie Roseman strode into the auditorium with a grin, with a quip prepared for the bleary-eyed reporters who stuck around the NovaCare Complex into the wee hours of the NFL Draft’s second night only for the Philadelphia Eagles general manager to trade out of the third round.“Rest up for next year, Friday night, because we are working next year on Friday night,” Roseman said.AdvertisementIndeed, Day 2 in 2026 is scheduled to be a marathon. The Eagles have a second round pick and three other selections in the third round. They’ve never had more than three in a given draft since Roseman was first named general manager in 2010. Next year promises to offer more flare than Friday night did. The Eagles spent the No. 64 pick on Texas safety Andrew Mukuba, then used Nos. 96 and 134 within a series […]
Broncos trio of Day 2 moves ‘paid off’ after landing offensive pieces RJ Harvey, Pat Bryant
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — In the thick of the NFL Draft chaos Friday night, as phones buzzed in the Denver Broncos’ war room, general manager George Paton ordered a pause on the movement for a brief, yet urgent news announcement.“I just want to congratulate Sean (Payton),” the GM said, “on his first trade back since 2006.”AdvertisementPaton last year said the Broncos were preparing a cake when the coach almost, but not quite, triggered a move back on Day 2 of the draft. On Friday, he joked that a trophy for Payton, whose draft DNA typically moves him up the board instead of down it, was on the way after the Broncos moved back twice in the second round — from No. 51 to 57; then from 57 to 60.“It certainly paid off,” Payton said.The Broncos viewed those moves as critical framework […]
Why the Seahawks couldn’t resist Jalen Milroe, both the player and person: ‘He’s unique’
RENTON, Wash. — In February, John Schneider said that for the Seattle Seahawks to draft a quarterback this offseason, the board would have to speak to them on draft weekend.Hearing from the longtime general manager and coach Mike Macdonald on Friday night, it sounds like what spoke volumes was Jalen Milroe’s game film — and his personality.Advertisement“He’s a unique, special young man, special athlete,” Schneider said.Seattle selected with Milroe, a two-year starter at Alabama, with the No. 92 pick, which the team received from the Las Vegas Raiders in the Geno Smith trade. He’s the third quarterback Schneider has selected in 16 drafts with the Seahawks (Russell Wilson and Alex McGough are the others). Milroe was the third and final pick made on Friday by Seattle, which gave up pick Nos. 52 and 82 to draft safety Nick Emmanwori at […]
