Joe Brady Withdraws From Saints Coaching Consideration

Saints again left scrambling with the surprising news that one of their coaching frontrunners has pulled out of consideration.
By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI
The New Orleans Saints coaching search evidently took another hit on Saturday night. According to corresponding reports from Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, offensive coordinator Joe Brady has elected to remain with the Buffalo Bills.
Brady's decision essentially means that he is pulling out of the Saints coaching search. New Orleans is the only team still looking for a head coach, barring unforeseen developments after this weekend's AFC and NFC Championship games.
Brady, 35, was considered the frontrunner in some circles to get the New Orleans job. This was especially the case after Aaron Glenn accepted an offer with the New York Jets this past week. Brady and the Bills will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game this Sunday.
An offensive assistant for the Saints in 2017 and 2018, Brady was also the offensive coordinator for a record-setting 2019 National Champion LSU Tigers offense. He's in his second season as offensive coordinator for a Buffalo unit that finished 10th in total yardage and 2nd in points scored this season. ...

Former Saints QB takes coaching job on Chicago Bears staff
Former New Orleans Saints quarterback J.T. Barrett will be joining the Chicago Bears as their new quarterbacks coach, as reported by the Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs. Barrett was a part of the Saints for parts of the 2018 and 2019 seasons, with 23 transactions in 2018 alone between being waived, signed, and elevated. He had been working as the Detroit Lions assistant quarterbacks coach.
Barrett, whose NFL career started as an undrafted rookie out of Ohio State, was as a backup for Drew Brees and turned to coaching after his last football season in the CFL. He joined another former Saints...

PFF argues Saints 'can't afford to lose' this free agent in 2025 offseason
The New Orleans Saints gave Chase Young a one-year prove-it deal in an attempt to amend their pass rush needs last offseason. While the group still wasn’t great, it wasn’t all Young’s fault either.
Pro Football Focus analyst Dalton Wasserman recently worked through each NFL team to find the one free agent that they ‘can’t afford to lose’ this offseason and he actually listed Young as the candidate for the Saints. This is what Wasserman had to say about his choice:
Losing Young would have the depth chart looking like this on the exterior of the defensive line: Carl Granderson, Cameron...

ESPN suggests Saints may need to change their approach to the 2025 NFL draft
The New Orleans Saints have a long, long list of needs heading into the offseason and do not have the luxury of targeting one specific part of the roster.
When looking across the top 10 picks of the 2025 NFL draft, ESPN’s Katherine Terrell suggested the team just worry about taking the best player available in the first round. This is part of what Terrell had to say about her reasoning:
As alluded to, that really doesn’t narrow much down. Rather than worrying about ranking those needs, the decision certainly should just revolve around who is on the board when they come up to pick...

Sean Payton is up for his second AP Coach of the Year award
Zack Baun and Trey Hendrickson aren’t the only former members of the New Orleans Saints who are finalists for an Associated Press award. Former head coach Sean Payton, now with the Denver Broncos, is a finalist for Coach of the Year. He previously won this award with the Saints in 2006.
Payton led the Broncos to the playoffs in second year with the team. It was Denver’s first playoff berth since their 2015 Super Bowl victory.
Though it was only a two game improvement from Year 1, Payton and the Broncos still over achieved. Russell Wilson’s play was shaky in 2023, but the move to rookie...

Sources: Bills' Brady pulls out of Saints' HC search
Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has removed himself from consideration for the Saints' head-coaching vacancy and will remain in his position with Buffalo next season, sources confirmed to ESPN.

I will start this article out by stating that I personally do not dislike any of the candidates the Saints are looking at, and while I have preferences toward who may be the better or worse candidates, there is not one in particular that doesn’t have a reason to become a head coach. That said, the New Orleans Saints are now down another candidate, as Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has chosen to stick with his current team rather than pursue the Saints head coaching gig.
This leaves the Saints with six viable head coaching candidates: Anthony Weaver, Mike McCarthy, Kellen...

Another popular target just backed out of the Saints head coach search
The New Orleans Saints received some unfortunate news on Saturday afternoon as top head coach candidate Joe Brady pulled himself out of consideration for the job.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke the news on Saturday afternoon that the Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator would be sticking with his team for next season.
The Saints had interviewed him once already and wanted to set up a second one, but will not get their wish. Brady had been the top fan-favorite candidate in the search given his history with the team and Louisiana (he got his first big break on Sean Payton’s staff, and...

Saints complete in-person interview with another head coach candidate
The New Orleans Saints have completed an in-person interview with Mike Kafka for their open head coach position, the team announced Saturday afternoon. Kafka, 37, has worked on the Kansas City Chiefs under Andy Reid and spent the last few years on the New York Giants staff as offensive coordinator, though head coach Brian Daboll has called plays in each of the last two seasons (neither of which ended with a playoff berth).
He’s an intriguing candidate for the job. Both Reid and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes have spoken glowingly about Kafka’s value as a leader and communicator, and...

The Senior Bowl is just a week away, and as always, this is a significant event for the New Orleans Saints. With the Senior Bowl being held in Mobile, Alabama, the Saints are the closest team to the event, which gives them an advantage. Unlike other teams, the Saints can send most of their staff/scouts to this event, and due to this, New Orleans values when a prospect participates in the Senior Bowl. Teams can also get an advantage if their staff members are chosen to coach. In this year’s Senior Bowl, the Saints have four staff members coaching position groups: Jahri Evans, Jordan Taylor...

After the hiring of Ben Johnson to be head coach of the Chicago Bears, there was speculation going around that New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi was the target of interest to join Johnson’s new staff. However, that development has stalled out, as Rizzi works to make his case for the Saints head coaching job as we speak.
Rizzi is competing with some strong candidates for the Saints job, including Mike McCarthy, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Anthony Weaver, Mike Kafka, and maybe Kliff Kingsbury. While he does have the upper hand of being in the Saints system for years now and...

Former Saints head coach reacts to Aaron Glenn being hired by the Jets
The New Orleans Saints had some former staffers/players hired around the league recently, with Aaron Glenn moving on to the New York Jets to become their head coach, and J.T. Barrett joining the Chicago Bears to be their quarterbacks coach. The Sean Payton tree continues to expand little by little each year as well:
Sean Payton reacted to the hiring of Glenn by the Jets as well shortly after the fact, stating on social media that the opportunity was “Much Deserved.” Glenn was also a prospective candidate for the Saints head coaching vacancy this offseason, however ultimately chose to go a...

Cameron Jordan salary: How much money did Saints DE make this season?
There have been a lot of New Orleans Saints franchise legends and mainstays make their ways out of town in the last few years, but at least one name has remained a constant: Cameron Jordan.
This past season was Jordan’s 14th season with the Saints and unfortunately, it was one of his weakest. It is understandable, given that he is 35, that some regression has started to hit. He played a career-low 48% of snaps last year and didn’t really make an impact until late in the season.
Jordan finished the year with 34 tackles, seven for a loss and four sacks. Though those numbers don’t jump off...
