  • Do Saints Have 2 Different QB Battles Brewing? + Takeaways from 1st Set of OTAs

    Do Saints Have 2 Different QB Battles Brewing? + Takeaways from 1st Set of OTAs
    2025/05/27
    The New Orleans Saints have four intriguing, young signal-callers in the QB room right now, but how will it all shake out as the offseason rolls on? In the latest episode of the Audacy original Inside Black & Gold podcast, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak and WWL Sports Director Steve Geller dive in on the latest buzz (or non-buzz) surrounding Aaron Rodgers, takeaways from the first OTA session, first impressions of Hunter Dekkers, early returns in the QB battle between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler and a lot more. SEGMENT 1: The Rundown: Aaron Rodgers Says No to Saints (eyeroll) & First OTA Takeaways … The New Orleans Saints have one of the younger QB rooms in NFL history, but there will be no Aaron Rodgers coming to save the day. That’s mostly because the Saints weren’t interested, but also because he made sure to say he wasn’t, either. Jeff and Steve kick off today’s episode by diving into that subject, some takeaways from the first session of OTAs and thoughts on the OL shuffle. Can Trevor Penning really hack it at guard? We’re going to find out. SEGMENT 2: All-in on Saints 4 QBs: Here’s Where Things Stand & Dekkers’ First Impression … The New Orleans Saints QB room has four intriguing, young names – but how will it all shake out? We break down the injury to Jake Haener and hear from UDFA Hunter Dekkers for the first time. What’s the first impression? We’ll also dive into our takes on the early returns in the QB battle between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler, as well as why we don’t see a veteran QB coming into the picture any time soon. SEGMENT 3: 4 Big Questions to Answer at Saints OTAs: Can Kendre Miller Get it Right This Time? … We’ve got two more sets of OTAs and a mandatory minicamp to go in this stage of the offseason, but what are the biggest questions we’re looking to get answered? We’ll start off with probably the biggest and most frustrating: Can Kendre Miller FINALLY get this thing right, and where does he stand in the RB pecking order? We’ll hit on that and a host of other topics to close out the show.
