The New Orleans Saints are opening their rookie minicamp with a notable twist—two veteran quarterbacks will be stepping onto the field, ready to prove they still have what it takes to compete at the highest level. Kyle Trask and Easton Stick headline a group of tryout players vying for a spot on the depth chart, as first reported by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football.

These seasoned signal-callers aren't alone in the competition. They'll be joined by rookie free agents Kaleb Blaha from Wisconsin-River Falls and Braylon Braxton from Southern Mississippi, all battling for the fourth quarterback slot. With Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Zach Wilson currently leading the pack heading into organized team activities, every rep matters for those looking to climb the ranks.

Kyle Trask, now 28, entered the NFL as a second-round pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022. After spending last season with the Atlanta Falcons, he's eager to make his mark. Despite appearing in seven regular-season games, Trask has yet to earn a start, completing just 4 of 11 passes for 28 yards. This minicamp offers a fresh start and a chance to rewrite his story.

Easton Stick, 30, brings a bit more starting experience to the table. A fifth-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2019, Stick has appeared in six games with four starts, completing an impressive 64 percent of his passes for 1,133 yards, three touchdowns, and just one interception. There's an added layer of intrigue here: Stick played under Saints head coach Kellen Moore when both were with the Chargers in 2023, giving him a familiar ally on the sidelines.

For fans and followers of the Saints, this minicamp isn't just about rookies—it's a proving ground for veterans hungry to extend their careers. Whether you're tracking the next big arm or just love the drama of training camp battles, this weekend promises plenty of action under center.
