Certainly not ideal options, but New Orleans could target one of these available veteran quarterbacks as a backup or spot-starter in wake of Derek Carr's injury.
By Ross Jackson - LouisianaSports.net
Friday's news that New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr could miss most or all of the 2025-26 season with a shoulder injury has put an interesting twist into the team's offseason.
Carr, 34, was unlikely to be with the Saints beyond this coming season. However, after a contract restructure, he was almost a sure bet to be the team's starter for this year. At least he was, before Friday reports that an injured throwing shoulder may sideline him for the season.
Because of that news, New Orleans is a heavy favorite to select a quarterback in either the first or second round of the NFL Draft. If so, it would be the first time since Archie Manning in 1971 and only the second time in the Saints 58-year history that they've done so.
New Orleans also has Spencer Rattler, a fifth-round choice in the 2024 NFL Draft out of South Carolina. He has an excellent arm, solid mobility, and some intriguing athletic traits but struggles to read defenses. ...

I think most people n this board are working with outdated QB rankings from early on when the media closed the window on anyone other than Shedeur and Cam.The more I look into Shedeur the less I like his ability as a QB.The opposite is true of Jaxson Dart.He’s a much better passer and...

Let me start this off by saying, I know a lot of you all are already angry and you haven’t made it past the headline. Felt like that should be acknowledged early on.
With the news that Derek Carr may miss the season, and the lack of a for sure number one QB option for the New Orleans Saints (although I do believe in you Spencer), some are looking around at what is available whether through the NFL Draft or free agency.
What if I told you that there is a former Super Bowl Champion, former Super Bowl MVP, 4-time NFL MVP and 10-time Pro Bowler that is sitting around on April 14 without a...
The New Orleans Saints have a big decision to make in a couple weeks. With the 2025 NFL Draft looming and Derek Carr’s availability for next season in question, the Saints need to decide whether or not to spend their first top 10 pick in 15+ years on a quarterback.
Personally, I don’t think they should.
I know I may be in the minority here, but I don’t think this roster is a rookie quarterback away from making the playoffs and contending next season. Unless you find a Jayden Daniels in this year’s draft (and I don’t think there is anyone close to him in this class), then I think you have...

Reports say Saints QB might be out for 2025 season. So, he might not? How hurt is he? Who should we believe? What makes sense? What now? Sure are a lot of questions.
The New Orleans Saints will have some great options to select from in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but some prospects that could be available rank above the rest. Every year, prospects drop more than expected in the first round and beyond. This could be for many reasons, but in the top 10, one main reason is that other teams like other prospects. This is where the Saints can really benefit at pick 9. New Orleans does not have a position that needs to be addressed in the first round, and this flexibility allows them to take advantage of any prospect starting to slide a bit...
With the recent news surrounding Derek Carr’s new shoulder injury, the outlook for the upcoming New Orleans Saints season is much different. The team is currently missing a certified starter at quarterback, and of course, because they are drafting a pick 9, that position is expected to be in play.
Before this news, drafting a QB in the first round, for example, Shedeur Sanders, sounded much better due to having the opportunity to sit the rookie for a year and learn behind Carr. Now, if the Saints select one at 9, that player will be thrown into a situation where they need to step up and...
