Saints give 2nd-round QB pick Tyler Shough guaranteed deal

NEW ORLEANS -- Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has agreed to a fully guaranteed contract worth $10.795 million, Shough's agent Erik Burkhardt told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move comes just days before the Saints begin training camp. The Saints and first-year head coach Kellen Moore will open training camp on Wednesday at the team's facility in Metairie, Louisiana.

Shough, who is expected to compete with second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler for the starting quarterback role, was selected with the 40th pick out of Louisville in the 2025 NFL draft. He is the last player selected in the draft to receive a fully guaranteed deal and follows a slew of second-round pick agreements in the last few days.
