  • The Las Vegas Raiders hosted Sanders on Monday, considering him as a potential long-term successor despite their recent acquisition of Geno Smith.
  • Derek Carr's season-ending injury has heightened the New Orleans Saints' interest in drafting a quarterback, with Sanders emerging as a viable option at their No. 9 pick.
