The New Orleans Saints’ quarterback situation remains uncertain, with veteran Derek Carr expected to retire following a severe shoulder injury. The team is left with Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener as their top three quarterbacks. While Shough is the current favorite for the starting job, both Rattler and Haener struggled in limited playing time last season.
With a potential top-three pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Saints may consider using it to find the quarterback of the future. Recently spotted at minicamp, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier drew attention from head coach Kellen Moore. A talented quarterback who fits Moore’s preferred mold, Nussmeier could be a prime target for the Saints in the 2026 draft. The team may view this meeting as an opportunity to familiarize themselves with a potential draft pick, sparking speculation that they may prioritize Nussmeier if they secure the top spot.
