The outlook for Saints quarterback Tyler Shough’s rookie season shifted significantly after Derek Carr’s retirement, prompting head coach Kellen Moore to announce an open competition for the starting job among Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener. During rookie minicamp, Shough expressed his focus on learning the playbook and building relationships with teammates, emphasizing his commitment to improving and contributing to the team’s success. While Moore did not dismiss the possibility of bringing in an outside quarterback, Shough’s quick adaptation to the NFL could diminish that likelihood.
