In what has been an unpredictable turn of events in Jacksonville, the New Orleans Saints may be back in the driver’s seat when it comes to some of their top head coaching options.

Following an event fit for an NFL-themed soap opera, the Jacksonville Jaguars are back in talks with Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen for their open head coach position. Coen, who withdrew from consideration after serious talks with the Jaguars in order to return and take an extension with the Buccaneers, has now reversed his decision and reportedly traveled in secret to re-engage in talks with Jacksonville.

While this story of cat-and-mouse most immediately impacts the Buccaneers and Jaguars, the Saints benefit as well.

Firstly, Coen taking the Jaguars head coach spot would mean that he’s out of the NFC South division after just one very successful year.

Beyond that, it means that the idea that Jacksonville would compete for other bright, young offensive minds that the Saints may be interested in is over.

Part of the concern with Coen withdrawing from conversations with the Jaguars is that it made Jacksonville available to potentially pursue another candidate like Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady or another innovative first-time head coach candidate. ...

B/R names Saints the worst offseason landing spot for their own former QB

The New Orleans Saints quarterback situation is all of a sudden up in the air with speculation on a Derek Carr trade starting to heat up. If that happens, the Saints would likely be in the market for a new veteran to guide their younger passers on the roster.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox recently suggested they avoid a reunion with a former quarterback, as they were named the worst landing spot for Andy Dalton this offseason. Here is what Knox had to say about his reasoning:

For reference, the best landing spot was with the Tennessee Titans. That is a spot that he could get a...

The New Orleans Saints lost their top head coach candidate, Aaron Glenn, to the New York Jets, but they aren’t at risk of losing any others on their list. They’ll have their pick of Joe Brady, Mike McCarthy, Mike Kafka, Anthony Weaver and Darren Rizzi.

The dominos were expected to fall quickly after Glenn and Ben Johnson were free to sign, and that’s exactly what happened.

Johnson went to the Chicago Bears, and the offensive coaches started coming off the board. The Las Vegas Raiders are rolling with Pete Carroll, and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ wild coaching search is ending with Liam...

Two former Saints in the running for Defensive Player of the Year

Zack Baun and Trey Hendrickson making first-team All Pro was a great reminder of the talent the New Orleans Saints let walk out of the building. As if that wasn’t enough, both men are also finalists for Defensive Player of the Year.

In a season, where there wasn’t a defensive player, or players, who clearly stood over the rest of the pack, this award seems up in the air.

Baun winning the award feels like a long shot due to his position. He was great in his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles, but Luke Kuechly was the last linebacker to win this award over a decade ago.

One of the best times of football season has arrived - mock draft season! The idea of scouting and predicting which players a team will draft has always been one of my favorite parts of the season. During my 2024 mock draft 1.0, I stated how in love I was with Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga, and the rookie tackle was later selected by the New Orleans Saints and performed greatly. So maybe, just maybe, we can go two for two on first-round predictions.

For my mock drafts, I use multiple mock draft simulators to help simulate how other teams may draft on the big night. These simulators are...

ESPN writer won't rule out a Derek Carr trade this offseason

Derek Carr is not the quarterback of the future for the New Orleans Saints. He was brought in by Dennis Allen to help elevate the Saints. That didn’t happen and it would be far from surprising to see the Saints move on from Carr soon. ESPN’s Giants beat reporter Jordan Raanan wouldn’t rule out a divorce this offseason.

Raanan sees the New York Giants as a team that should inquire about Carr due to an obvious need an unfavorable draft position. Typically the third overall pick would be great, but the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns could pick Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders first and...

Throughout the coaching cycle, Liam Coen was one of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ top choices for head coach. Yesterday, after their second meeting, it was announced that the Coen would return to Tampa Bay and become the highest-paid coordinator in the league. Many people believed that Jacksonville would miss out on their top targets due to general manager Trent Baalke still being in charge. This was the main reason why Coen was headed back to Tampa Bay. After the news of Coen’s return broke, the Jaguars announced they would be moving on from GM Trent Baalke. This caused a shift, and now, per...

The Professional Football Writers of America completed their yearly All-Rookie teams and awards recently, and with that, we got to see who they believed were the best first-year players at each position. The New Orleans Saints did not particularly have many candidates as most of their rookies either got less than a full season of playing time or none at all, however, Taliese Fuaga and Kool-Aid McKinstry broke that mold.

Considering McKinstry played in 14 of the 17 games, it is hard to make an argument for him despite having a very solid season. His development was rapid and as he got...

The New Orleans Saints in recent years have been exceptional at evaluating and bringing in defensive back talent. Draftees like Marshon Lattimore, Alontae Taylor, Paulson Adebo, Kool-Aid McKinstry, and even back to Kenny Vaccaro and Malcolm Jenkins among many others have cultivated their defensive backs room for a significant amount of time now.

Additionally, they have been outstanding at finding quality talents among the undrafted free agent pool, such as Rashid Shaheed, Deonte Harty, Malcolm Roach, Carl Granderson, Justin Hardee, Wil Lutz, Pierre Thomas, Garrett Hartley, and more.

The New Orleans Saints had a difficult 2024 season, to put it lightly, and one of the more notable issues on the team was the defensive line’s struggles. The unit was solid at generating pressure, and occasionally was around league-average in the sacks department. However, when it came to run defense, things got ugly. Here are some key stats that predominantly start with the defensive line:

This poor performance led to defensive line coach Todd Grantham being re-assigned out of the position, and ultimately ended up moving on to become the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State.
