Who will be the New Orleans Saints‘ Week 1 quarterback in the 2025 NFL season? That’s become a big question for the team following the health issue of veteran signal-caller Derek Carr, who could potentially sit out the entire 2025 campaign amid a shoulder injury that had apparently just been discovered recently.

With Carr’s uncertain status at the moment, Katherine Terrell named a few available quarterbacks in the free agent market, including Aaron Rodgers, but another name she mentioned was that of five-time FCS champion Carson Wentz.

Wentz, 32, spent the past season with the Kansas City Chiefs as a backup and hasn’t been a primary starter since his 2021 season with the Indianapolis Colts. Wentz’s best season was in 2017, when he went 11-2 as a starter with the Philadelphia Eagles and threw 33 touchdowns before tearing his ACL, opening the door for backup Nick Foles to win a Super Bowl that season.
