Overview

• The move, reported by NFL Network insiders, trims New Orleans' active quarterback group to Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough.
• Haener, a 2023 fourth-round pick, is being cut with two years left on his rookie contract, including a $1.03 million 2025 base salary.
• He saw limited duty in 2024 with eight appearances and one start, going 18-for-39 for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and he was benched in his start.
• An offseason oblique strain reduced his practice time and hurt his chances in the competition under the new staff.
• Haener could clear waivers to a practice squad or be claimed by another team as New Orleans finalizes its depth chart.
