First-year Saints coach Kellen Moore seemed assured of his inexperienced quarterback room. In a news conference on May 19, Moore stated that having former NFL quarterbacks as coaches, such as Doug Nussmeier and Scott Tolzien, makes up somewhat for the locker room's deficit of veteran quarterback presence.

Moore's background is with younger quarterbacks during his coaching tenure. He has worked with Dak Prescott in Dallas, Justin Herbert with the Chargers, and Jalen Hurts with the Eagles. Moore has always worked with quarterbacks in their mid-to-late twenties instead of older veterans.

Spencer Rattler, who played six games for the Saints in the previous season, is vying for the starting quarterback role against Jake Haener and rookie Tyler Shough. The fight comes after veteran Derek Carr's retirement, which will be made official in June, as per SaintsWire.
