Saints Sign Zach Wilson for Camp Depth

About this episode

Zach Wilson Joins Saints: A Young Quarterbacks Chance to Stay in the NFL

The New Orleans Saints have signed Zach Wilson, the former second overall pick, to a one-year deal. Wilson, 26, brings youth to the quarterback room after stints with the Jets and Dolphins. He spent three years as a starter in New York, going 12-21 with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. Last season, he backed up Tua Tagovailoa in Miami. The Saints, with only Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler under contract, chose Wilson over older options like Cooper Rush. This move is seen as temporary depth, with Wilson getting a chance to extend his NFL stay while the team sorts its long-term plans at the position.

It's March 25. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is NFL News Today Football News powered by AI. The New Orleans Saints have signed quarterback Zach Wilson to a one-year deal ahead of training camp. The 26-year-old former second overall pick brings some youth to the quarterback room after stints with the Jets and Dolphins. Wilson spent three years as a starter in New York, going 12 wins and 21 losses with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. He backed up to a toggle by Loa in Miami last season following a trade from the Jets. Saints fans see this as a low-key move, since the team only had Tyler Show and spent a rattler under contract for camp drills. Older options like Cooper Rush were available, but New Orleans went with a younger arm instead. Speculation points to this being temporary depth, with a rattler possibly on the trade block after the 2026 draft, the Saints have cut similar camp quarterbacks in past years if better fits emerge. For now, Wilson gets a shot to extend his NFL stay while the team's source is long-term

plans at the position.
