Dekkers Shines in UFL, Saints Keep Tabs

0:00On March 26th, the New Orleans Saints' quarterback room has seen big changes early this year. Jake Hainer moved on to the Kansas City Chiefs, while Hunter Deckers headed to the U.F.L.'s Houston Gamblers for more playing time. Meanwhile, Zach Wilson joined the team as a backup option behind Tyler's show and Spencer Ratler. Deckers spent last season on the Saints practice squad after signing as a rookie free agent. He wanted real-game experience, so he jumped to the gamblers where he's backing up starter, Nolan Henderson. Both quarterbacks are set to see action right away. Fans are buzzing about this on social media, pointing out how spring leaves always split time between signal collars. For the Saints, Deckers was part of their long-term backup plans, and they're keeping tabs on him even from afar. The gamblers kick off their season Saturday, March 28th, at 3pm against the Dallas Renegades in Frisco, Texas, airing on Fox. Coach Kevin Summling confirmed Henderson starts, but Deckers gets meaningful snaps, and they even added Talia Tagovailoa as a third option for depth.
