The New Orleans Saints are undergoing a significant transition, eyeing a new head coach and potentially moving on from quarterback Derek Carr. While Carr performed adequately in 2024, concerns linger about his ability to lead the team to a Super Bowl victory. Reports suggest that the Saints' front office has a keen interest in their backup, Spencer Rattler, and may target a quarterback in the later rounds of the upcoming NFL Draft. ESPN's Matt Miller hinted that selecting a quarterback like Kyle McCord in the draft could signal the end of Carr's tenure in New Orleans, especially with the possibility of hiring Kellen Moore as their head coach.

Rattler, a former high school standout, is recognized for his untapped potential, which the Saints may want to explore as they rebuild. The combination of Rattler and a draft pick could present a fresh start for the team, departing from the mediocrity associated with Carr's play. The Saints aim to rejuvenate their quarterback lineup, potentially reshaping their offensive identity under new leadership.
