Saints Holding Three-Man QB Competition
Saints Holding Three-Man QB Competition
a week ago
There are three contenders for the New Orleans Saints' starting quarterback job, according to executive vice president/general manager Mickey Loomis. 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough and 2024 fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler are the names who have been most frequently connected to the job, but Loomis "stressed" that 2023 fourth-rounder Jake Haener is also in the mix, according to Mike Triplett of New Orleans.Football. Shough played seven seasons in college and finished his career in 2024 at Louisville. He threw for 3,195 yards and 23 touchdowns this past season for the Cardinals. Rattler played in seven games (six starts) for New Orleans as a rookie, completing 57% of his passes for 1,317 yards and throwing more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four). Haener has made just one start in his two NFL seasons. Regardless of who starts the season at QB for the Saints, it's unlikely to be a position of strength for New Orleans in 2025.
