Who Should I Start? Ben DiNucci or Stetson Bennett

Monday, January 6, 9:26 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Ben DiNucci has signed a reserve/future contract with the organization on Monday. DiNucci spent most of the season as a free agent before signing with the Saints in mid-December. He was signed as depth after Derek Carr (hand) went down for multiple weeks. The 28-year-old hasn't seen NFL action since the 2020 season with the Dallas Cowboys. However, DiNucci will get a chance to earn a spot on the roster in training camp.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett will serve as the backup for Week 1 and Week 2 of the regular season. This was expected to happen with Jimmy Garoppolo suspended for the first two weeks of the season. Bennett sat out of the preseason finale after starting the first two games. He threw for 437 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions during the preseason. Those aren't exactly great results, but Bennett isn't likely to see the field at all in 2024. Matthew Stafford should be full healthy and ready to go for the season opener. Garoppolo should take over as the primary backup once he's cleared to play, so Bennett is unlikely to play at all unless Stafford gets injured in the first two games.
