The New Orleans Saints had a heated quarterback battle between Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough last offseason. After the longest quarterback battle in the league, the Saints landed on Rattler as the starter.
Rattler played fine, but the Saints opted for a change around the trade deadline. Rattler went to the bench and Shough became the starter. As a result, Shough quickly became a fan favorite and has seemingly taken the starting job for good.
This offseason, Rattler has been mentioned in trade rumors. A lot of analysts are suggesting the Saints should trade him for a fifth, sixth, or seventh round pick given the fact that Shough is seemingly the franchise quarterback.
