In a closely watched competition that stretched through training camp and the preseason, the New Orleans Saints have officially announced their starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Second-year signal-caller Spencer Rattler emerged victorious, earning the nod over rookie Tyler Shough to lead the offense in Sunday’s opener against the Arizona Cardinals at the Caesars Superdome. The announcement came Tuesday, August 26.
Coach Kellen Moore confirmed Rattler as the starting quarterback on Tuesday, August 26, three days after the Saints fell 28–19 to the Broncos in the preseason finale.
