Saints Trade Rattler, Boost Draft Picks for Shough

On March 31st, the New Orleans Saints are flipping the script on their rebuild, thanks to Tyler's show stepping up as their long-term quarterback.

Dude lit it up in 2025, proving he's the guy even with the team's rough record.

Now, Spencer Rattler, the backup, looks expendable, heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, shows locked in a starter, and they just added Zach Wilson for depth competition.

That pushes Rattler to the sidelines, making a trade feel inevitable to grab some draft capital.

Analysts are buzzing that Rattler's shown enough promise to draw real interest.

Over two seasons and 16 gains with 14 starts, he posted a 62.7% completion rate, 2,903.

Passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and 10 picks, getting sharper lately with better numbers this year.

His two years left on the rookie deal, make him a hot commodity for quarterback Needy Squads.

Teams like the Las Vegas Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers, or New York Jets could snag him as a bridge starter or competition option.

As the draft heats up, expect the Saints to move rather quick, stacking picks to fuel their rise around show and keep pushing forward.
