The NFL Draft is next week and the New Orleans Saints got some bombshell news recently when it was reported that quarterback Derek Carr is dealing with a shoulder injury. This injury appears to be threatening his availability for the upcoming season, meaning the Saints may have to spend one of their top draft picks on a quarterback. The Saints currently have Spencer Rattler as backup, but who knows if Kellen Moore would feel comfortable enough with him as the starting quarterback. Check out what the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, and other NFL teams are talking about in our roundup.
