Haener was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round (127th overall) of the 2023 NFL draft. [11]

Haener made the initial opening roster for the Saints to start the 2023 season. However, in early September, it was revealed he failed a drug test earlier that summer, testing positive for a banned performance enhancing substance. Haener was suspended the first six weeks of the season. He released a statement: "I still do not know how the substance got into my body, as none of my supplements or prescribed medications contain the banned ingredient", nonetheless subsequently stating "I must take full responsibility for the failed test". [12]

Haener began the 2024 campaign as the backup quarterback behind Derek Carr. In Week 7 against the Denver Broncos, he relieved Spencer Rattler on the final drive of the game, and recorded his first career touchdown on a 12–yard pass to Cedrick Wilson Jr. [13] After Carr suffered a hand fracture in Week 14, the Saints named Haener their starting quarterback. [14]
