We learned late last week that Saints quarterback Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that could require surgery and that revelation led to increased speculation that the team will take former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the ninth overall pick.
It also increased chatter that another team with interest in Sanders might try to jump ahead of the Saints in order to secure his rights. The Panthers have the eighth overall pick and their General Manager Dan Morgan was asked at a Tuesday press conference if he’s heard from teams about trading with them since the Carr news broke.
