The Saints find themselves in a challenging quarterback situation following Derek Carr’s unexpected retirement earlier this month. Their current quarterback roster includes Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and rookie Tyler Shough, who was selected in the second round of the draft.
Despite the Saints having one of the thinnest quarterback groups in the league, they appear to be focusing on internal options. Reports suggest the team is willing to give Shough a genuine opportunity to earn the starting position for Week 1.
The four-time MVP Rodgers remains the most high-profile quarterback available in free agency. His decision has significant implications for several teams with quarterback needs heading into the 2025 season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have emerged as a likely destination for Rodgers. With team activities and minicamps approaching, speculation increases that Rodgers will sign with Pittsburgh soon.
Saints management might be considering a strategic approach for the upcoming season. If Shough or other current quarterbacks don’t perform well, the team could position themselves for a higher draft pick in next year’s draft, which is expected to feature more quarterback talent.
Rodgers’ NFL future remains interesting following his time with the New York Jets, where he faced challenges including a shoulder injury. His experience and proven track record make him valuable despite his age, particularly for teams looking for veteran leadership at the quarterback position.
The NFC South division now presents an interesting competitive landscape with the Saints’ quarterback situation in flux while their divisional rivals may look to capitalize on this potential weakness.
