New Orleans Saints Hire Kellen Moore, Face Quarterback, Receiver Challenges

The New Orleans Saints are entering the 2025 NFL season with significant changes and challenges, particularly at the quarterback position following Derek Carr's retirement. The team has a competitive quarterback room consisting of Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener, with many experts predicting Shough, a second-round pick, to start Week 1 under new head coach Kellen Moore. The Saints are also exploring potential veteran additions to bolster their offense, including interest in free agent receivers like Gabe Davis, Keenan Allen, and Amari Cooper to strengthen their receiving corps. Additionally, there have been suggestions for the Saints to trade for former first-round quarterback Anthony Richardson from the Colts to foster competition and improve quarterback play. Meanwhile, rookie Devin Neal is expected to provide a complementary impact alongside Alvin Kamara in the backfield. The team is focused on rebuilding after a disappointing 5-12 season in 2024 and aims to find breakout players and stabilize key positions to contend again under Moore's leadership.
