Some are suggesting that the NFL may not be taking New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Derek Carr’s recent injury news at face value.

In a recent episode of the Scoop City podcast, co-hosts NFL Insider Dianna Russini and former Saints quarterback Chase Daniel discussed the latest around Carr’s shocking injury news from late last week.

“I had a lot of text messages and conversations about the Derek Carr situation,” she said. “And it was very hard for me to find someone in football who said, ‘Oh, Derek’s definitely dealing with a serious shoulder injury.’ It was, ‘How long (have) you been doing this?

Adam Rank of NFL Network published his latest NFL mock draft; however, this time, it comes with a twist. Instead of predicting what teams will do, his latest mock draft focuses on what he believes they should do.

So, when the New Orleans Saints were on the clock at nine, he had them adding Will Johnson, a cornerback out of Michigan, to their roster. This pick comes with prospects like Mason Graham, Teteiora McMillian, and Sheduer Sanders still on the board.

“Don’t be scared off by the uncertainty around Johnson’s unknown 40 time, Saints,” Rank said. “...take a swing on a new potential...

We are neck deep in NFL Draft mock season and ESPN has dropped a new one on us this morning from Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates. These picks are based on what they’re hearing and how each team might tackle roster needs. Additionally, they took turns making the selections. Alright, now I’ll jump to the selections for the New Orleans Saints.

If they go QB and Sanders is on the board, it’s hard to see them doing anything different here, and I get it. For all the what has been at times Lavar Ball-esque noise from Coach Prime, I don’t feel like Shedeur has done anything to scare me off of him...

The New Orleans Saints could be a potential landing spot for Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Ramsey and the Dolphins have mutually agreed to part ways, per ESPN. The veteran cornerback spent two seasons with Miami, but as the team looks to get younger, they'll look to move on from the nine-year veteran.

Ramsey has connections to Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley and praised his former defensive play caller on Twitter/X after signing with New Orleans, calling him “the best defensive coordinator that I’ve had for sure in the NFL.”
