Ian Rapoport reports that the Saints are unlikely to have clarity on QB Derek Carr‘s status for 2025 before tonight’s draft, as he may need season-ending shoulder surgery due to an improperly healed injury. Despite this uncertainty, GM Mickey Loomis stated that it will not impact their draft strategy, as the team has already researched the quarterback class and plans to select one regardless. Carr, who has missed voluntary OTAs while recovering, is in the final year of a four-year, $150 million contract with a base salary of $40 million.
