Summary
The New Orleans Saints have signed quarterback Zach Wilson to a one-year contract, according to multiple reports. Wilson, 26, spent last season with the Miami Dolphins and will serve as the backup quarterback to Tyler Shough. He has seen little game action over the last two seasons and didn’t play at all with the Denver Broncos in 2024.
Wilson has started 33 games in his career, going 12-21 with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. He will join Shough and 2024 fourth-round pick Spencer Rattler in the quarterback room.
Shough impressed in his nine starts last season, completing 67.6% of his passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. The Saints hope he remains healthy as they look to win the NFC South next season and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
Our Reading
The game follows a familiar script: a struggling quarterback joins a new team, hoping to reboot his career.
Zach Wilson, the former No. 2 overall pick, has been on a four-team tour in four seasons, with little game action to show for it.
He’s now a backup in New Orleans, behind Tyler Shough, who impressed in his nine starts last season.
Shough’s injury history is well-documented, and the Saints will hope he can stay healthy.
This one feels recognizable early: a quarterback with a spotty track record joins a new team, hoping to turn things around.
Original Observation: The Saints’ quarterback room is a “learning moment” for everyone involved.
