Well, not everyone can be a New Orleans Saint for life, and on Monday, some players found that to be the case. Most notable of the departures was quarterback Jake Haener, who has been in New Orleans since 2023.
Furthermore, per NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill, Haener is not expected to be back with the Saints in 2026. All things considered, that's not very surprising, especially when you remember that two quarterbacks (Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough) have been drafted since Haener was taken in the fourth round.
However, that's not to say that the former fourth-round selection never got his shot.
