Whereas many within the NFL group are satisfied that the Tennessee Titans will maintain onto the primary choose of the 2025 draft to land Miami quarterback Cam Ward, the New Orleans Saints, with loads of questions on its QB state of affairs past 2025, could possibly be gamers for Ward with the ninth choose.
Throughout an occasion on Monday night, Ward indicated he’d be tremendous if the Saints accomplished a blockbuster commerce with the Titans to carry him to New Orleans.
“I beloved watching Drew Brees and (extensive receiver Marques Colston) on the market,” Ward stated about following the Saints in his youthful days, as shared by Jeff Duncan of The Instances-Picayune/NOLA.com. “It might be a dream of mine to play for them, if I get an opportunity sometime. However that’s not likely my focus proper now.”
Saints quarterback Derek Carr raised eyebrows when he made it known earlier within the winter that he would not take a pay lower to provide his employer monetary reduction forward of the 2025 season. New Orleans ultimately restructured his contract, and it now seems the Saints will maintain onto Carr for no less than yet another marketing campaign.
That stated, the NFL Scouting Mix ended with Ward being thought-about the consensus No. 1 quarterback on this yr’s draft class forward of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. Not too long ago employed Saints head coach Kellen Moore by no means chosen Carr for the membership however met with Ward on the mix.
“It was an important assembly,” Ward stated of that get-together. “When you get an opportunity to go play for a Tremendous Bowl-winning coach like coach Moore…he is aware of tips on how to dial up the playbook. The largest factor I took away from that assembly was that you simply simply should be ready always, whether or not you go in as a starter otherwise you go in as a backup. You by no means know when your quantity goes to be referred to as.”
Moore was the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, who defeated the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs in Tremendous Bowl LIX in February.
Even when that was a “come get me” message from Ward to New Orleans, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. predicted in his newest mock draft on Tuesday that Tennessee will choose the previous Miami star with choose No. 1. Maybe Ward’s phrases will trigger the Saints to no less than contemplate making a “‘Godfather’ provide” to the Titans for the draft’s first choice.
