New Orleans Saints Decide to Release Quarterback Following Week 7 Loss to the Bears — A Warning to Players with Unprofessional Attitudes

The New Orleans Saints have made headlines across the league after announcing the shocking release of quarterback Spencer Rattler following the team’s disappointing Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears.

According to multiple team sources, the decision stemmed from Rattler’s lack of discipline and growing tension in the locker room, which reached a breaking point after Sunday’s defeat.

Head coach Kellen Moore didn’t mince words when asked about the move.

“This organization values accountability,” Moore stated firmly. “You can have all the arm talent in the world, but if you’re not putting in the work or respecting your teammates, it means nothing. The Saints are built on unity and commitment — not ego.”

Eyewitnesses from inside the Superdome reported visible frustration between Rattler and members of the offensive staff during the Bears game, with heated words exchanged on the sideline. Sources confirmed the altercation “played a major role” in the team’s decision.

Team owner Gail Benson also spoke out, backing Moore’s call and reinforcing the team’s standard of professionalism.

“The Saints stand for integrity and respect — both on and off the field,” Benson said. “No individual is above the team, and we will always protect the culture and values that define this franchise.”

The Saints, now re-evaluating their quarterback depth, are expected to consider Jake Haener and Hendon Hooker as possible replacements moving forward.

“We’re not here to make headlines; we’re here to build a winning culture,” Moore added. “Every decision we make is about moving this team forward — and sometimes that means making hard choices.”

While Rattler’s release shocked fans, insiders say it’s a clear message from New Orleans: talent can earn you a job, but attitude can lose it overnight.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026.
