Saints head coach Kellen Moore is looking for his QB1 in a rotation among Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough and 2023 4th-round pick Jake Haener. Haener is the senior of the group but was last to receive first team reps, which he did today. Haener lost out on the starting job last year to Rattler following the Derek Carr injury, but Moore has insisted he’s involved in the competition. Haener says he’s learned the NFL doesn’t care about your feelings.

Free agent tight end Noah Fant is in New Orleans for a visit today. Knee injuries to tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau have sidelined them for camp so far. Fant was a first-round pick in 2019 and has caught 300 passes for over 3-thousand yards. He also took a recent visit to Cincinnati.
Second-round pick Tyler Shough ran with the third team today, and Spencer Rattler led the twos. Both growing up near Phoenix, Arizona, Rattler says he’s known Shough for a long time.
Rattler flashed today with a deep ball to wideout Mason Tipton, who was a big-time camp performer last year after signing as an undrafted free agent. He threw the first interception of camp to rookie Louisville cornerback Quincy Riley yesterday.
