Overview

  • Spencer Rattler has led camp in pass attempts and completion rate while asserting leadership and confidence in drills
  • Tyler Shough’s accuracy and urgency have lagged behind Rattler’s pace, raising doubts about his presumptive starter role
  • Jake Haener has maintained a steady backup presence after returning from a minor injury and continues to draw consistent reps
  • Head coach Kellen Moore has balanced practice repetitions among Rattler, Shough and Haener and plans to defer a Week 1 decision until after preseason evaluations
  • The Saints released undrafted rookie Hunter Dekker and remain linked to potential trade talks for veteran Trey Lance to bolster quarterback depth
