The 2025 football season will be the most thorough rebuilding year the New Orleans Saints have undergone in recent memory. Kellen Moore takes control of a team that is in the process of aging down and building around core pieces that will need to become future faces of the franchise. The season will most likely act as an audition for many players who look to fully submit themselves as top young talents in the league. However, with opportunity also comes the potential for great struggle and if the team does not rally together one of the worst performances in franchise history could become reality for first season head coach Kellen Moore.

The match up puts two first year head coaches in the spotlight as the Saints look to find out more as position battles continue in all three phases of the game.

The start to the 2025 preseason was a reflection of the new changes made to this team while still facing the core causes of past struggles. Spencer Rattler would find some success in his opportunity to get the 1st start at QB. However, a lack of scoring would lead to mixed emotions from Saints fans. Tyler Shough put up the most points in his outing but as the Saints twos and three's came out of defense the floodgates for points was too much for the boys in black and gold. Now with a match up against another young team facing them the Saints will look to get a win in the Dome and find out more as injuries and position battles set the tone going into preseason week 2.

This weekend will be a chance to determine who gets the bulk of playing time this preseason and could foreshadow what to expect in the regular season.

Kellen Moore started his first Training Camp as a head coach with little to no issues. However, the team is falling deeper out of favorability with football minds following Tyrann Mathieu's retirement announcement. The Saints will no doubt be a constant talking point this preseason as position battles are now forming all around the field. Despite the outside noise players like Cam Jordan and Chris Olave remain excited when interviewed about how all the changes are effecting the team.

As players are taking their final vacations the Saints Staff is working to have all the pieces in place once the team reports to to the training facility on July 23rd. With a multitude of new additions the focus will still gravitate to the most intriguing quarterback battle in the league as Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler begin to split the reps in camp.

The Saints are left off of the Primetime slate for the first time in 25 years. Kellen Moore's Saints will have to take advantage of all those Sunday's as they avoid playing on the road in the cold. The preseason Quarterback Battle will see Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler take on the Chargers, Travis Hunter and the Jaguars and the Sean Payton lead Denver Broncos as he makes another return to New Orleans. Can the new era of Saints football lead to a year one success let us know in the comments your projected record for the 2025 New Orleans Saints.

The Saints are now in a full rebuild as Derek Carr announces he will retire. The move is a major opportunity for the franchise as it allows for the salary cap to be cleared for future moves speeding up the Kellen Moore rebuild. Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler are now in a quarterback battle that could go all the way up to week one.

If the Saints first round selection wasn't enough to get the fanbase talking taking Tyler Shough at 40 was all it would take. The Saints took 9 total players in this draft showing signs that the era of rebuilding the existing model may be over. Kellen Moore will welcome his first draft class as the Quarterback Rumors stay hot with Derek Carr's 2025 season status completely unknown.
