Overview
- Rattler, included by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday as a quarterback who could draw interest during the NFL Draft, is on teams’ radar.
- New Orleans is not rushing to move him, with reporting noting the team values his low-cost backup role and would want a return higher than the fifth-round pick used to draft him.
- Rattler started eight games before yielding to Shough, and his year-two gains included a 67.7% completion rate and an 86.5 passer rating with lower interception and sack rates.
- Early destination lists have shifted, with Kansas City adding Justin Fields and Las Vegas signing Kirk Cousins, while depth charts in Miami and the Rams still leave room behind their starters.
- ESPN analysts say his improved play and rookie contract profile make him a viable camp competitor for a rebuilding team, though no trade has been reported.
