The Saints will be Wilson’s fourth team in four seasons. He spent the first three years of his career with the New York Jets after being selected second overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
After three disappointing seasons with the Jets, they traded him to the Denver Broncos in April 2024. The Broncos declined Wilson’s fifth-year option and after the season he signed with the Dolphins.
Wilson has seen little action over the past two seasons, not playing at all with the Broncos in 2024. With the Dolphins last season, he appeared in four games, completing 6 of 11 passes for 32 yards.

With the Jets, Wilson started 33 games, going 12-21 while completing 57% of his passes for 6,293 yards with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.
Wilson will join Shough and 2024 fourth-round pick Spencer Rattler in the quarterback room.
Shough impressed in his nine starts last season. The Saints went 5-4 in his starts while Shough completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions, while rushing for 186 yards and three touchdowns.

However, Shough dealt with numerous injuries throughout his college career. He suffered a broken left collarbone in 2021, reinjured the same collarbone in 2022, and broke his fibula in 2023.
The Saints hope he stays healthy as they look to win the NFC South next season and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
