Shedeur Sanders visiting Raiders, ‘potentially in play’ for No. 6 pick

The New Orleans Saints recently became a strong potential landing spot for Shedeur Sanders. They might not be the only team with a top-10 NFL draft selection that has an interest in the Colorado quarterback.

The Las Vegas Raiders are also interested in Sanders and are hosting him on a pre-draft visit Monday, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Las Vegas could end up targeting him if the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants pass on quarterbacks.

“The Raiders, sitting at No. 6, are in a position where if – if – Shedeur Sanders slides out of those top three spots, potentially, that could be in play,” Pelissero said on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”

The Raiders already made a major acquisition at quarterback during the 2025 offseason. They traded a third-round draft pick to the Seattle Seahawks for veteran signal-caller Geno Smith. The move reunited Smith with Pete Carroll, under whom he enjoyed his two Pro Bowl seasons.

Las Vegas signed Smith to a two-year, $75 million extension that will keep him under contract for three seasons. Still, his presence won’t necessarily prevent the Raiders from selecting a quarterback.

“There certainly is always a longer-term need at the quarterback position,” Pelissero said, referencing Smith and the Raiders.

Smith will turn 35 during the 2025 NFL season, so Sanders could be tapped as a successor with the No. 6 overall pick should Las Vegas fall in love with him.

Even if the Raiders don’t draft Sanders, they still seem likely to add a young quarterback to develop behind Smith and compete for the backup job with Aidan O’Connell.
