With the 53-man roster crunch coming throughout the NFL, trade speculation links the New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler to the Indianapolis Colts. Rattler began the 2025 NFL Season as the starting quarterback for the Saints. While Rattler performed admirably, current starter Tyler Shough took over the position and almost won Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints shopped Rattler around the NFL but could not find an organization to take him. With so many teams in need of quarterbacks, he seemed expendable at the right price. Rattler is also still young and has shown respectable skills for an NFL starting quarterback.
However, the Saints also signed Zach Wilson this offseason, and he showcased some improvements in Saturday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Per PFF, they gave Wilson a 81.2 grade in the contest while Rattler only earned a 49.8 grade. Wilson seems on track to earn the backup quarterback job, and Rattler could be on the way to another organization.
