New Orleans long-term QB uncertainty looms large for the 2025 Draft.
According to a report by Ian Rapoport, the New Orleans Saints are a team that could be in the market for a quarterback in this year's NFL Draft.
Probably reading the writing on the wall, Rapoport doesn’t believe that Derek Carr is the long-term solution at signal caller for the Saints over the next 10 years. Aside from potential cap implications, it’s pointed out that the restructuring of Carr’s contract affords the Saints the ability to not go into the draft absolutely NEEDING to get a QB or even a QB with a particular draft pick.

As has been covered on this site, the Saints are doing their due diligence on this year’s quarterback class, with meetings and pro-day visits to most anyone projected to get drafted this year that can throw the ball.
As a team that doesn’t need to use a pick on this position, they are afforded the luxury that if someone drops down to the 9th pick, they’re ready to scoop them up, or as Rapoport points out, they could even trade back into the back end of the first round if someone has really wowed them and a deal is there to be made.
Rapoport also mentioned on his podcast yesterday that there is a possibility of Shedeur Sanders potentially making his way down to the Saints at No. 9.
