Where Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward will play next season and beyond remains a major question, with fans across the country eagerly speculating. Many signs indicate that the standout QB could be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
While prospects like Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, and Travis Hunter are also in the conversation for the top pick, Vegas oddsmakers still favor Ward as the leading candidate to be selected first on draft night.

However, even if he is the top choice, his destination isn’t guaranteed. Trade rumors continue to swirl, with the Tennessee Titans possibly looking to trade out of the No. 1 spot. This could create an opportunity for the New York Jets to move up in the draft and bring Ward to their roster.

Cam Ward remains the favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft
With the NFL Draft still two months away, uncertainty looms over where Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward will land next season and beyond. However, many signs suggest that the standout QB could be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
While Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, and Shedeur Sanders remain in contention to be selected first, Vegas oddsmakers continue to favor Ward as the leading candidate.
The Giants and Jets are both in dire need of a franchise quarterback, but the Tennessee Titans hold the top pick and could use that leverage in trade discussions. If they decide to move down, the New York Jets—currently sitting at No. 7—could be a strong contender to trade up and secure Ward.
The Jets are in search of a long-term solution under center after their high-profile trade for Aaron Rodgers failed to pan out. Moving up for Ward would be a bold but logical move to revitalize their offense and get back into postseason contention.
Meanwhile, the New York Giants also find themselves in quarterback limbo. With Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll under mounting pressure, the team has been linked to a potential trade for Matthew Stafford. However, many fans are pushing for the Giants to prioritize drafting Ward or Sanders to secure a long-term solution at quarterback.
Regardless of where he lands, Ward is expected to make an immediate impact, and teams that pass on him may come to regret it if he slides down the draft board.
