1. Miami Dolphins
A growing concussion history has clouded Tua Tagovailoa's outlook in the NFL. While we saw him shine at times last season, he doesn't have the best track record of staying healthy and giving the Miami Dolphins the best chance to win. Consequently, we could see the Dolphins pivot in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Reportedly smitten by Shedeur Sanders, Miami's brass will be tempted to snag their future quarterback in April. Moreover, it would keep their current competitive window open. Sanders would be insulated by Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane, giving the Dolphins a multi-faceted offense that few teams could keep pace with.

Sanders's landing in Miami is a best-case scenario. Watch him thrive while operating one of the league's most prolific offenses.

5. New Orleans Saints
As we've seen over the last couple of weeks, the New Orleans Saints won't be marching anywhere with their current quarterbacks. Derek Carr's absence has revealed an enormous fault in the Saints' roster, and they need to start planning for the future.

Shedeur Sanders would be an ideal candidate to take the reigns of the Saints' offense. Anchored by Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed and complemented by Mason Tipton and Bub Means, New Orleans' receivers corps is stacked with top-end playmakers. Add a healthy Alvin Kamara into the mix, and we could see the Saints recapture the glory days of the Drew Brees era.

The Saints' black and gold match Sanders' current color scheme. For the sake of Saints fans everywhere, here's hoping that's foreshadowing what comes next for the Colorado Buffaloes' gunslinger.

4. Las Vegas Raiders
It's become painfully obvious the Las Vegas Raiders desperately need an upgrade under center. Shedeur Sanders could succeed where Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell have failed, leading the Raiders back into football relevancy.

While they just traded away their top wide receiver, the Raiders still have offensive building blocks for the future. Brock Bowers has made the jump to the NFL seamlessly, and Tre Tucker has shown flashes of brilliance in his second professional season. Sanders would galvanize the offensive front, bringing a new dimension the team has been missing for years.

Granted, Las Vegas doesn't have the best track record for developing quarterbacks. Still, given the opportunity, we would trust Antonio Pierce to bring out the best in Sanders.
3. New York Jets
The New York Jets coaching staff appears to be in a period of upheaval. Fresh off Robert Saleh's firing, the team is searching for a new offensive identity. However, the acquisition of Davante Adams proves that the Jets are intent on winning now, and Shedeur Sanders would only help them fly higher.

Sanders's passer profile perfectly suits the pass-catchers on the Jets roster. Adams, Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and Mike Williams are among the deepest wide receiver groups in the NFL. Further, Breece Hall and Braelon Allen provide additional security and pass-catching abilities out of the backfield.

Not that Jets fans need to get their hopes up, but Sanders could be the missing piece that pushes this roster over the edge.
2. Los Angeles Rams
Shedeur Sanders's presence in the Los Angeles Rams lineup would upset the balance of the NFC West.

With Matthew Stafford playing in the autumn of his career, the Rams must find someone to take up his mantle. We've seen Sean McVay work his magic on less polished draft picks, so we're confident he could set Sanders up for success throughout his career. That looks so much more promising when you consider that he would be throwing the football to Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, and Tutu Atwell for years to come.

If the Rams could lock up their quarterback of the future, hope would spring eternal. Given their current trajectory, they should be in a position to nab Sanders early in the 2025 NFL Draft.
