Saints Quarterback Competition Intensifies in New Orleans Camp

The New Orleans Saints' quarterback competition for the 2025 season is heating up, featuring Arizona natives Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough alongside Jake Haener. Rattler, who took over starting duties last season following Derek Carr's retirement, believes his previous starting experience and strong camp performance give him an edge in the race. While Rattler has been mostly with the first team, a recent shift had him working with the third team during situational drills, which coaches say should not be overinterpreted. Shough, still learning the offense, and Haener, the longest-tenured quarterback, continue to get significant reps as well. Head coach Kellen Moore has been rotating all three quarterbacks through first-team reps and has not set a timeline for naming a Week 1 starter, with the first preseason game on August 10 expected to offer further clarity. Both Rattler and Shough are eager to compete and showcase their abilities as the Saints seek a new leader under center.
