Tyler Shough signed his rookie contract with the Saints on Monday, putting him one step closer to taking over as the starting quarterback in New Orleans.
Spotrac reported the contract is for four years and a fully guaranteed $10.8 million.The Saints selected Shough in the second round, No. 40 overall, in the 2025 NFL Draft in April. Just two weeks later, starting quarterback Derek Carr announced his injury-related retirement.
While new Saints coach Kellen Moore has made no commitments, Shough is the presumptive QB1.
Shough, 25, led Louisville to a 9-4 record while passing for 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions in his senior season.
He previously played at Oregon and Texas Tech, appearing in 42 total college games and throwing for 7,820 yards with 59 TDs and 23 interceptions.
The Saints also have Spencer Rattler, 24, on the roster. He was a fifth-round pick out of South Carolina in 2024. He was 0-6 as a starter, completing 57 percent of his passes for 1,317 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions as a rookie.
Other returnee Jake Haener recently suffered an oblique strain, costing him several offseason workouts. He completed 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards with a touchdown and an interception in eight games (one start) last season.
