Former NFL Player Hints at Potential New Orleans Saints QB Trade
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New Orleans Saints definitely have quite the conundrum on their hands when it comes to their quarterback situation heading into the 2025 NFL season. Last year, the Saints drafted Spencer Rattler in the fifth round. They then selected Tyler Shough in Round 2 this past April. Following Derek Carr's injury and sudden retirement, one of them will have to start Week 1. Or will they? More news: Kyle Shanahan Singled Out for San Francisco 49ers' Injury Issues Former NFL quarterback Danny Kanell feels that New Orleans may seek a trade to upgrade the position, adding that the Saints may have the worst signal-caller situation in football right now. "And you just feel bad for Kellen Moore and the rest of the team if this is who they're rolling out there," Kanell said. "So I do wonder if they're making some phone calls looking to upgrade this position which might be the worst quarterback room in the entire NFL." Spencer Rattler #18 of the New Orleans Saints looks on before the game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on December 23, 2024 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Spencer Rattler #18 of the New Orleans Saints looks on before the game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on December 23, 2024 in Green Bay, is a former top collegiate prospect whose draft stock plummeted late in his NCAA career. He ended up making seven appearances and six starts for the Saints in 2024, throwing for 1,317 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 57 percent of his passes. Not great. Meanwhile, Shough was viewed as one of the most NFL-ready quarterbacks of this year's draft class due to the fact that he actually spent seven years in college, playing for three different schools. He is also already 25 years old and has a birthday in September. However, he hasn't looked great in preseason. More news: Raiders Shockingly Predicted to Cut Ties With New Fan Favorite The problem is that there aren't really many enticing quarterback options available at this stage of the offseason. Perhaps New Orleans can pluck someone like Kenny Pickett away from the Cleveland Browns, but how much of an upgrade would he actually be, realistically speaking? The Saints may be better off seeing what one of Rattler or Shough has this fall and then potentially re-adjusting in the 2026 NFL Draft, which is sure to be teeming with quarterback talent.

Ferrari Reveals Approach to Help Hamilton Who is 'Extreme in His Outbursts'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Scuderia Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has revealed an approach that could help a "self-critical" Lewis Hamilton, who is "always extreme in his outbursts." The seven-time world champion appeared dejected at the Hungaroring recently, where he said that he was "useless" and that Ferrari should look for another driver. Hamilton is finding it challenging to adapt to his SF-25 F1. While the early rounds of the 2025 season, such as his sprint race victory in China, suggested a promising premier class season ahead, the ground reality on the racetrack has been different. In Hungary, the Briton was knocked out in Q2 by securing P12 in qualifying, only to finish the race in the same position. The result was one of his worst since his Ferrari debut. Vasseur pointed out the need for Hamilton to "stay calm" and not allow the disappointing race result to affect his morale and confidence. In an interview with Auto Motor und Sport, Vasseur was asked what he could do to make Hamilton feel more comfortable at Ferrari. He said: Ferrari's British driver Lewis Hamilton (L) and Ferrari's French team principal Frederic Vasseur speak ahead of the first practice session for the 2025 Emilia Romagna Formula One Grand Prix at the Imola autodrome in Imola,... Ferrari's British driver Lewis Hamilton (L) and Ferrari's French team principal Frederic Vasseur speak ahead of the first practice session for the 2025 Emilia Romagna Formula One Grand Prix at the Imola autodrome in Imola, on May 16, 2025. More Marco BERTORELLO / AFP/Getty Images "Stay calm. Build on the fact that he's already taken the first step. Don't let things like Budapest get him down. Lewis is very self-critical. He's always extreme in his outbursts. "Sometimes he's too harsh on the car, sometimes on himself. He wants to get the most out of himself and everyone in the team. You have to calm him down and explain to him that in Q2 he was only a tenth behind the driver who later took pole position. That's not a big deal." Vasseur added that Hamilton's statements to the press make matters worse. However, he remains calm with the team. The team boss also emphasized that Hamilton's reaction was not drama but his way of demanding a lot, a point that Vasseur has no problems with. He said: "The message he sends out only makes things worse. He's usually only that extreme with the press. By the time he gets to the briefing room, he's usually calmed down again. That's just his way. For me, it's not a drama. He demands a lot. From others, but also from himself. I can live with that." Vasseur highlighted a similar experience with Nico Hülkenberg since his Formula 3 days. He added: "Nico Hülkenberg was the same when he drove for me in Formula 3. He demanded an enormous amount from the team. But he was also on the mat every morning at 6:30 a.m."

Arch Manning refutes grandfather's prediction that QB will stay at Texas next season: 'I don't know where he got that from'
In August, former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning told NFL teams they shouldn't tank for his grandson, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Archie made it clear Arch had no intention of leaving Texas after the 2025 season, saying Arch will "be at Texas." Turns out, Archie may have spoken out of turn. When asked about those comments Tuesday, Arch said he wasn't sure where his grandfather got that idea. The Texas quarterback added that he's "just taking it day-by-day for now." That's probably a wise move. Given his pedigree — and his family — big things are expected from Manning as he steps into the starting role at Texas. While he wasn't the team's top option as a freshman, Manning flashed plenty of potential last season, throwing nine touchdowns against two interceptions in 10 games. That was enough to boost fan and scout excitement for the 2025 season. Though he lacks the experience of other players, Manning is already the favorite to go No. 1 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. He would have to commit to the draft in order for that to happen, leading many to speculate on his plans. While it's possible Manning would want to remain at Texas after this season, the allure of being the top pick in the NFL Draft might be too enticing to pass up. There are plenty of factors in play that will determine whether Manning decides to enter the draft. If he plays well enough to be worth the No. 1 overall pick, Manning could make the decision based on which team holds that selection in the draft. The Manning family has turned down NFL teams in the past, with Eli Manning telling the then-San Diego Chargers not to take him with the first overall pick. The Chargers did select Manning, but traded him to the New York Giants in exchange for Philip Rivers. If Arch Manning struggles, he may opt to return to school and rebuild his value for the 2027 NFL Draft. All of that is unknowable now, which is likely why Manning is keeping his options open. Texas fans may be disappointed that Manning won't commit to the team beyond this season, but they had to see it coming given the level of hype surrounding Manning since he first committed to the program.
