New Orleans Saints
With the 53-man roster deadline passed, now is the time for teams to put in claims for waived players. With holes still throughout the roster, making additions should be a top task for the New Orleans Saints. Following the 2025 draft order, the Saints are 9th in the waiver order, so they have a chance at some decent players. Expect more moves to be made, but as of now, the Saints have claimed two players from waivers: WR Trey Palmer and OT/G Xavier Truss.
Starting with the former LSU Tiger Trey Palmer, the Bucaneers drafted the wide receiver in the...

The New Orleans Saints cutdown their roster to 53 players yesterday, but as you know, the roster is ever changing due to injuries and needs which is where the practice squad comes into play.
Starting at 11:00 a.m. CT today, NFL teams can add up to 16 players on their practice squad as well as one international player. They can claim unvested players that have been waived and vested veterans (players with a minimum of 4 accrued seasons) will become free agents immediately and are able to sign with any team.
Which means the Saints can soon start to sign...

The New Orleans Saints have finally named Spencer Rattler as the starting quarterback. Head coach Kellen Moore and the staff took their time to make this decision, but in the end, they went with the second-year player. Most of the focus will be on the decision to start Rattler over rookie Tyler Shough, but this could also hint at a potential two-year plan.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the future at QB, regardless of who the Saints name as their starter, covering all outcomes and still coming out with positives would be excellent for New Orleans. This is what could happen...

Time will tell if Rattler can be the franchise QB, but for now, the Saints have their starter for week 1.
Final moves are made to reduce the roster down to 53 players.
An important perspective from the other side of the deal

The hardest time of the NFL season is here. Roster sizes shrink from 90 players to 53, calling for teams to cut or waive 37 players. The New Orleans Saints had to make several tough decisions. The running back room was full of talent, plenty of linebackers stood out during the preseason, and, of course, the quarterback battle. Here are the most surprising decisions the Saints made on Tuesday.
Head coach Kellen Moore has emphasized that third-year quarterback Jake Haener was a contender to win the starting quarterback job in a battle with Spencer...

After several weeks of training camp practices and 3 preseason games, the quarterback competition in New Orleans has come to an end as Kellen Moore has announced that Spencer Rattler will be the starting quarterback this season for the Saints.
Moore has said since day one that this would be an open competition, with Rattler and Tyler Shough equally vying for the starting spot. We have seen them both rotate take reps with the first team in practices, with Rattler starting the first and final preseason games and Shough starting in Week 2.

The New Orleans Saints have been highly active in the trade market, which makes sense with depth issues around the roster and impending cuts ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. In the past two weeks, the Saints traded DT Khalen Saunders to the Jacksonville Jaguars for center Luke Fortner, and sent a 4th-round pick to the Denver Broncos for WR Devaughn Vele. Giving up draft capital is always daunting when the future of a team is extremely volatile, but the Saints clearly believe in this team, and going into the season with a strong roster is a priority. One of...

With the roster cut deadline at 3 p.m. looming, the New Orleans Saints have been making cuts to get down to their final 53 and according to multiple reports, they have waived QB Jake Haener.
Haener was drafted by the Saints in the fourth round (127th overall) of the 2023 NFL draft. He was suspended for the first six weeks of his rookie season after testing positive for a banned performance enhancing substance.
In 2024, he played in 8 games and started in Week 14 for the Saints against the Washington Commanders after Derek Carr suffered a hand injury. He...

Head coach Kellen Moore revealed a potential timetable for the Saints naming a starting QB, and it should be by Wednesday’s practice.
With the Saints needing help throughout the roster, newly released players from the 53-man roster cuts could be where New Orleans finds some answers.
The Saints’ offensive line takes another hit by the injury bug.

When comparing the New Orleans Saints with the rest of the NFL, they are the only team without a named starting quarterback. This makes sense given the battle being so close, but the team needs to make a decision soon. Many had hoped that it would be announced today in head coach Kellen Moore’s press conference, but alas, that was not the case, and we will have to wait a bit longer. According to Moore, the decision between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler is reaching the last stages and should become official in the coming days. When asked how close...
