Latest Derek Carr, Saints news could impact Patriots at 2025 NFL draft

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is reportedly dealing with a shoulder injury that could potentially threaten his availability for the 2025 season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

That creates a situation where the Saints could be more desperate than ever to get a quarterback. They currently own the No. 9 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft, and if Colorado's Shedeur Sanders isn't a top-three pick, it wouldn't be a surprise if they start eyeing a possible trade with the New England Patriots to move up to No. 4 on the draft board to get him.
