Each day Aaron Rodgers doesn’t sign with the Steelers, my desire for him fades… and my interest in Shedeur Sanders skyrockets. 📈@Saints — don’t even think about it.

The buzz intensified when Deion Sanders, Shedeur's father and Colorado's head coach, reacted to the Saints’ No. 9 draft pick with the classic eyeball emoji on social media, fueling speculation.
Carr’s hefty contract, which runs through 2029 with $20.4 million guaranteed this year, has become a burden for a team already navigating cap challenges.
As Kellen Moore prepares for his first draft as an NFL head coach, the fit between Sanders’ quick-read, up-tempo style and Moore’s pass-heavy system has many analysts believing this match could be both natural and necessary.

While the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants have shown interest, and Sanders has already met with the Pittsburgh Steelers and will visit the Las Vegas Raiders, momentum clearly favors New Orleans.
As ESPN’s Adam Schefter noted, “The Saints are now a wild card in the Shedeur Sanders sweepstakes,” and that label may no longer do them justice. With fewer than two weeks to go before the draft kicks off in Green Bay, all signs—and odds—are pointing toward Sanders landing in the Big Easy.
