Would playing Spencer Rattler automatically mean a top-5 pick or so in the 2026 NFL Draft? Would the Saints even consider eating Carr’s full salary?

Another familiar name returns to New Orleans.
By John Hendrix - Athlon Sports
The New Orleans Saints have another reunion.
According to a Tuesday morning report by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Saints are hiring Joel Thomas to be their running backs coach. This makes the third hire for new head coach Kellen Moore and the second former coach to return to New Orleans.
Thomas was with the Saints from 2015-2023 and spent last season with the New York Giants. New Orleans went with Derrick Foster last year, but he went to the Dallas Cowboys in the offseason. Thomas has obviously worked with Alvin Kamara in the past, so this is a potentially good pairing. He's a very smart coach who got an additional opportunity at the Senior Bowl as an offensive coordinator. ...

Saints to officially hire Phil Galiano as special teams coordinator
The New Orleans Saints will officially promote Phil Galiano as their special teams coordinator, per reports.
Galiano has been with the team since 2019, where he served as the Saints’ assistant special teams coordinator under Darren Rizzi. Last season, after Dennis Allen was let go and Rizzi moved into the interim head coach position, Galiano took over special team coordinator duties.
That move will now become permanent as new head coach Kellen Moore has started putting together his staff and building toward the future.

NFL informs teams of increase in 2025 cap space
The New Orleans Saints are once again last in cap space going into the offseason. This means some important contract decisions must be made, and getting to the positive may not be as straightforward as before. The Saints will need as much help as they can get, and a little relief came today as the league just announced that cap space will see a massive rise in 2025.
This new cap number would be around a $22-$26 million increase from 2024. If the cap number settles around $229 million, New Orleans will be in the negative by $47 million before contract restructures.

NFL shares an unprecedented spike in salary cap estimates for 2025
The New Orleans Saints have been dealt a strong hand again when it comes to clearing their cap space, as this NFL offseason will see a larger-than-anticipated salary cap jump once again. As reported by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, the salary cap is going to settle between $277.5 million to $281.5 million.
This number is much higher than the projection by OverTheCap, which had it set at $272.5 million. So, this leaves the Saints with more cap space than they could have hoped for, as they sat at $54,182,537 over the limit according to those projections.

Galiano has been with the Saints since 2019 in his previous role, and after the firing of Dennis Allen and promotion of Darren Rizzi, he and Marwan Maalouf split some of the...

Saints hire former Eagles assistant for their director of sports science
The New Orleans Saints continue to fill out Kellen Moore’s staff with intriguing assistants. The latest, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, is Ted Rath as the director of sports science.
Rath has held a number of roles in the NFL, mostly as a trainer and on the strength and conditioning staff. That’s where he overlapped with head coach Kellen Moore on the Detroit Lions for a few years; Moore was a backup quarterback at the time while Rath worked as an assistant strength and conditioning coach. He was out of football in 2024, but was most recently the Philadelphia Eagles director of sports...

The NFL is a small world, and it’s not too uncommon for players and coaches to have known each other before teaming up — but it’s unusual for a former teammate to be the one on your headset. That’s an experience several players reflected on when the New Orleans Saints announced Kellen Moore was becoming their new head coach.
Cornerback Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year who was drafted the same year Moore turned pro, said seeing the former Boise State quarterback being a head coach made him feel old.

Saints rumored to debut new alternate helmet for the 2025 season
The New Orleans Saints have seen quite a bit of change in the past few weeks.
The last remnants of the Sean Payton era have left the building, and it feels as though the Saints are finally entering a new beginning.
So, it would be fitting that a new addition to the uniform may be on the way this fall.
The NFL altered the uniform rules in 2024 allowing all teams to have a 3rd helmet. We’ve seen quite a few varieties for teams with two helmets over the years, the most often used of those being a throwback uniform. The Saints have used those in the past, and most recently have adopted a...

Colin Cowherd says Kellen Moore won't last after picking 'a dead franchise'
Kellen Moore has a lot of work to do in getting the New Orleans Saints back to contention in the NFC, and some commentators think that task is going to prove too much for him. Just ask Colin Cowherd. During an appearance on his “The Herd” sports talk show, Cowherd made it clear he doesn’t have high expectations for Moore in New Orleans.
“Eh, he’ll be fine. They don’t have any cap room. They’ve got a lot of issues. I think that’s gonna be, for the next couple years, a dead franchise,” Cowherd shrugged.
When asked if Moore could have a winning record by Year 4, he rejected that notion: “Oh...

Skip Bayless argues Kellen Moore 'isn't remotely qualified' to be Saints head coach
The hot take artists are out in force, and Skip Bayless didn’t waste much time before tearing into the New Orleans Saints for their decision to hire Kellen Moore as the team’s next head coach. The septuagenarian sports talk show personality is unimpressed by this move, to say the least.
“Are you kidding me? Kellen Moore? Yeah, he can call plays. But he has zero charisma. Nice guy but zero personality,” Bayless said, suggesting Moore looked like more of an IT specialist than a football coach. “You don’t see many sideline shots of Kellen Moore calling plays because he’s so uninteresting...

How much would it cost the Saints to use the 2025 franchise tag?
The NFL’s franchise tag window opened this week and teams have some time to consider what to do about their most important free agents. For the New Orleans Saints, that list is pretty thin — just three players appear likely to get multi-year deals on the free agent market. Would the franchise tag be an option for retaining any of them? Probably not, given the team’s tight salary cap situation, but you never know. They were in similar circumstances a few years back and still found room to use the tag on safety Marcus Williams (only to lose him a year later).
But what about the transition tag? It’s a slightly cheaper alternative but doesn’t guarantee compensation for the Saints if another team signs the player to an extension; if they use the franchise tag on someone and don’t match an offer, they’ll get multiple first round draft picks back. So it’s riskier if you’re worried about losing the player.
