Report: Saints taking a look at former Raiders WR Bryan Edwards

This would make a lot of sense: the New Orleans Saints are taking a look at free agent wide receiver Bryan Edwards, per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill, who adds that “The Saints remain interested in adding another physical receiver to the roster.”

Edwards, 24, was a teammate of Derek Carr’s on the Las Vegas Raiders not too long ago. The Raiders picked him at No. 81 overall in the 2020 NFL draft out of South Carolina and he quickly climbed the depth chart to be named a starter after training camp, though an early-season ankle injury bumped him down the depth chart and he finished his...

Former Saints RB Tony Jones Jr. signs with Sean Payton's Broncos

Yet another former New Orleans Saints player is teaming up with Sean Payton. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday evening that free agent running back Tony Jones Jr. has signed with the Denver Broncos. Jones averaged just 3.7 rushing attempts per game in his three-year career with the Saints, struggling to find snaps behind Alvin Kamara and veteran backups like Mark Ingram II and Latavius Murray.

The Saints waived Jones midseason last year and he was picked up by the Seattle Seahawks, but he totaled just 8 carries to gain 16 rushing yards along with 3 receptions for 18 receiving yards...

New Orleans Saints 2023 NFL draft scouting report: Florida State DB Jammie Robinson

One thing is clear with the New Orleans Saints approach to free agency this season, they’re not happy with their defensive back depth. They’ve added some competition already, but they’re likely to look to the draft for another body.

One player whose talent level does not match up with his projected draft range, is Florida State defensive back Jammie Robinson. The idea of getting a player with his skillset in day three of the draft is mouth watering.

He started his career in South Carolina where he spent two seasons, but opted for a change of scenery for his last two years as a Seminole...

The New Orleans Saints have added yet another piece to their defense, signing DB Isaac Yiadom. The former third-round pick was on the Saints’ practice squad for most of the year but did play in 6 games last season.

The 27-year-old will likely play a key role on special teams and be a depth piece at cornerback. As they continue to add pieces to this team, it is clear that the Saints are not happy about missing the playoffs last year, and they want to compete.

Running back Tony Jones signed a one-year deal with the Broncos on Thursday, Mike Klis of 9News reports.

Jones, 25, is following Sean Payton from the Saints.

Jones went undrafted in 2020 but signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent. He spent most of the season on New Orleans’ practice squad before making the season opening roster in 2021.

He started four of 11 games played in 2021, rushing for 142 yards off 54 carries while catching five passes for 29 yards.

Payton stepped away from coaching in 2022, and the Saints waived Jones early last season. The Seahawks claimed Jones off...

Steve Foley excelled at every level of football as a player, celebreated as a member of the Tulane Hall of Fame (1983), Allstate Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame (1992) and Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame (2002).

The New Orleans product played 11 seasons in the NFL, playing in a pair of Super Bowls and finishing his days as the all-time interceptions leader of the Denver Broncos with 44, a record which still stands.

Foley has maintained residency in the Mile High City since his playing days and has been closely monitoring his former employer. Sean Payton brought a Super Bowl title to his hometown...

Huh. Well there’s something. Will Anderson Jr. stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine at Alabama’s pro day on Thursday, but he did speak with the media on hand when he wasn’t busy shaking hands with the dozens of pro personnel in attendance. And he told Tide 100.9 FM co-host Aidan Dollins that one of the teams he met with most recently is the New Orleans Saints, along with two teams picking in the top 10 of the 2023 NFL draft (the Seattle Seahawks at No. 5 and the Chicago Bears at No. 9), among “a couple other teams.” It appears he’s in high demand.

Saints re-sign special teams standout Isaac Yiadom, adding another experienced DB

Here’s a smart move: the New Orleans Saints re-signed defensive back Isaac Yiadom per Thursday’s update to the daily NFL transactions wire, adding another experienced defensive back to their secondary. But Yiadom was also one of their special teams standouts during the back half of the 2022 season. He made some plays as a gunner on the punt team opposite J.T. Gray and also ran with the kick coverage and return units, as well as the field goal blocking squad.

It’s worth bringing him in for a longer look. Yiadom is 27 years old and has logged nearly a thousand snaps on special teams in his...

The Saints have re-signed defensive back Isaac Yiadom, according to the NFL’s personnel notice for Thursday.

He originally joined the Saints on Nov. 17, signing with their practice squad two days after the Texans cut him. Yiadom played in six games with New Orleans last season, seeing action on 111 special teams snaps in six games.

He played three games with the Texans, getting two defensive snaps and 64 on special teams.

Yiadom entered the league as a third-round pick of the Broncos in 2018. Denver traded him to the Giants at the start of the 2020 season, and the Broncos traded him to...

Irv Smith Jr. might be the Saints' best option among remaining free agent tight ends

Could the New Orleans Saints still be on the hunt for a free agent tight end? Terrible news of a cancer diagnosis for Foster Moreau during a routine physical with the Saints medical staff has prompted the 25-year-old to step away from football, and it’s unclear whether the team’s interest in him was opportunistic — in getting a good player at at reasonable price — or part of their offseason plan to upgrade at tight end.

Look at the players under contract. Juwan Johnson is an ascending talent, having broken out last season as a pass-catcher while continuing to improve as a blocker. But...

This is interesting: the New Orleans Saints plan to put former Incarnate Word quarterback Lindsey Scott Jr. through a workout ahead of the 2023 NFL draft, per FOX San Antonio’s Chuck Miketinac, who reports that Scott is finishing up rehab from an offseason knee scope procedure.

Scott previously participated in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl after completing 70.9% of his pass attempts for 4,686 yards and scoring 60 touchdown passes while adding 712 rushing yards and 11 touchdown runs for UIW in the Southland Conference, though he also threw 8 interceptions and fumbled 9 times.

That was Scott’s...

With the 2023 NFL draft approaching, the New Orleans Saints are doing their due diligence on who they might want to select. It was reported that the Saints brass, led by GM Mickey Loomis and HC Dennis Allen, had a group dinner with a large group of Ohio State players.

The team has had great success drafting players from Ohio State. Players that the Saints have recently drafted out of OSU include Michael Thomas, Marshon Lattimore. Pete Werner, and last year’s first-round pick Chris Olave. Could we see the team use their first-round pick on an Ohio State player again?

NFL.com writer says Saints are the best fit for a couple of free agent pass rushers

It’s pretty clear that the New Orleans Saints need another pass rusher. Cameron Jordan led the team in pressures last season during a down year for his usual standards, and they just let a former first-round pick walk to an NFC rival when Marcus Davenport signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings.

They have some solid role players in Carl Granderson and Tanoh Kpassagnon, but 2021 first-round defensive end Payton Turner has not developed as hoped while missing a lot of time with injuries. The Saints are also poised to be big spenders with more than $14 million in effective salary cap...
