The New Orleans Saints are in the small-movement area of the offseason, and now they're getting depth pieces that can compete in camp. We just saw this with the return of Terell Burgess, and it seems the team is continuing with the small signings, but this one is way more out of nowhere. Per Nick Underhill, the Saints have signed for #2 overall pick Zach Wilson.

Adding at least one more QB to the room for training camp makes sense, and for Wilson, this is the perfect oppurtunity to sit and develop. We just saw this with Malik Willis in Green Bay, and he is now the starter for the Dolphins.

The interesting thing this move brings up is regarding Spencer Rattler. Although he should be the certified QB2 next season, another team could present a potential deal, and the Saints may not be able to resist. So, in case that future does occur, getting some insurance options to battle out in training camp is a good idea, and Wilson could be that QB.

Is it likely? No.
