The New Orleans Saints have announced their intention to sign rookie quarterback Hunter Dekkers following a successful minicamp tryout. This move comes in the wake of Derek Carr's retirement from the NFL, adding a new dynamic to the team's quarterback room.

Dekkers, an undrafted rookie, performed admirably during minicamp and is set to compete for a backup position against notable quarterbacks such as Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener. Having previously showcased his skills at Iowa State, he brings an intriguing blend of potential and developmental opportunity for the Saints.
