The New Orleans Saints were thrown an important curved ball on Friday, when NFL Media reported that Campal Derek Carr marshal is dealing with a shoulder injury that could threaten its availability for the 2025 season. Carr is now exploring its options, which include surgery. Details about the lesion and how potentially serious it could be available.
Carr played in just 10 games for the Saints last season, going 5-5 as a starter while launching for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. It was closed during the year after breaking his hand and suffering a brain shock during the 14-11 victory over the New York giants in week 14. The five games that Carr won were the only victories that the Saints had the whole season, since Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener were a combined 0-7. While Carr was lost seven openings, the 2024 campaign ended classified the 10 best in the completion of completion (67.7%), yards for attempt (7.7) and the TD-Int ratio (15-5).
Carr signed a four -year contract and $ 150 million with the Saints before the 2023 season after spending nine years with the Las Vegas Raiders. There were questions about whether Carr could be cut or exchanged this low season, but the Saints turned a good part of their salary into a signature bonus last month, which indicates that it would be the QB1 of New Orleans in 2025.
It is natural to ask if this mass development could shake Draft plans of the Saints. Nueva Orleans has the general selection number 9 in the NFL 2025 draft, and if the Saints were not in the Quarterback market before, they certainly are now. The saints were actually the Betting favorite To select the former Campo de Colorado Marshal, Shedeur Sanders, before this news was learned, and will surely be a popular selection of the simulated draft for the Saints in the future. As it is now, New Orleans has three other quarterbacks on its list: Rattler, Haener and Ben Dinucci.
