Derek Carr announced his retirement from the NFL on Saturday, which in turn set up a quarterback competition for the New Orleans Saints for the 2025 season. Saints coach Kellen Moore confirmed on Saturday that rookie Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener will compete for the starting role this offseason.

Rattler, a 2024 fifth-rounder, has appeared in seven career games with an 0-6 record as a starter and four touchdown passes to five interceptions. Haener, a 2023 fourth-rounder, has thrown just 39 career passes and is 0-1 as a starter.

The Saints drafted Shough out of Louisville with the 40th overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, making him the third quarterback off the board after first-round picks Cam Ward (first overall to the Titans) and Jaxson Dart (25th to the Giants).
