Derek Carr will push New Orleans Saints far as Cinderella team of 2023 NFL season
By Adam Schein | NFL.com
Cinderella danced again!
Yes, it's that time of year. Having watched yet another wild, delicious, delirious period of NFL free agency frenzy coincide with the genius of the NCAA men's basketball tournament -- March Madness abounds! -- I'm ready to unveil my annual choice for the Cinderella team of the 2023 NFL season.
And after my Cinderella picks fizzled down the stretch for two straight years (the 2020 Arizona Cardinals and 2021 Los Angeles Chargers), my selection in 2022, the Miami Dolphins, rode Mike McDaniel's Tyreek Hill-led offense into the postseason.
This isn't actually meant to be a playoff prediction -- I'm thinking more about teams that can put together a Horatio Alger-like rags-to-riches story and less about whether they can extend their season past Week 18. But I'm not going to lie, it's extra satisfying when my choice for Cinderella waltzes into January. I kicked off this annual exercise with three consecutive playoff-qualifying Cinderellas (the 2017 Jacksonville Jaguars, 2018 Chicago Bears, and 2019 Buffalo Bills), and, well, it's good to get back on that track!
Before we go any further, a reminder of my criteria: Candidates must have missed the playoffs in the previous season, and they shouldn't be considered Super Bowl contenders going forward (this knocks out the Jets, whom I would rank among the top six teams in the NFL once Aaron Rodgers is officially in the fold).

NFL.com writer picks New Orleans Saints as 2023's 'Cinderella Team'
At least one national writer has high expectations for the New Orleans Saints in 2023. In the spirit of March Madness longshots in the NCAA basketball tournament, NFL.com’s columnist Adam Schein picked the Saints as his “Cinderella Team” for the upcoming season — largely because of the upgrade at quarterback in signing Derek Carr.
Schein sees a lot to like at other positions and in the way this team is built, but the gist of his take is that Carr can cover up many of the flaws and vulnerabilities in New Orleans. His central message:

Former Saints DL Kentavius Street agrees to one-year contract with Eagles
The Eagles are signing Saints free agent defensive tackle Kentavius Street to a one-year contract, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Set to turn 27 in May, Street signed with New Orleans last offseason after four years with San Franscisco. He was originally a fourth-round pick of the 49ers in the 2018 NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-2, 280-pound Street had career bests this past season in total tackles (29), quarterback hits (8), sacks (3.5), and pass deflections (1).
With the departure of Street, David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle this offseason, the Saints have retained only one veteran (Malcolm Roach)...

Eagles to sign free agent Saints DT Kentavius Street
The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to sign free agent New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Kentavius Street, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Street was one of the more consistent interior disruptors for New Orleans last season, though Schefter erroneously credits him with 6 sacks — that stat is from Pro Football Focus, whose statisticians round up on half-sacks. Street was officially credited with 3.5 sacks by the NFL. These things happen when too much deference is given to sources in reporting.
Anyway: the Eagles are teaming Street up again with safety Justin Evans, who he played with in New...

Eagles to sign Kentavius Street
The Eagles are bringing in another defensive lineman.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Philadelphia is signing defensive tackle Kentavius Street.
Street spent last season with the Saints, playing a rotational role on the club’s defensive line. He was on the field for 46 percent of New Orleans’ defensive snaps, recording 3.5 sacks, five, tackles for loss, and eight QB hits for the club.
A fourth-round pick in 2018, Street missed his rookie year due to a knee injury suffered at his Pro Day. But he played all 17 games for the club in 2021, recording 3.0 sacks, six tackles for loss, and five QB...

Which Saints player do you want to see wearing No. 0?
The NFL has changed its jersey number designation rules again, just a year after the first big shakeup in years. The single-digit No. 0 will be eligible for select players on offense and defense as well as some specialists for the 2023 season, but who should be wearing it for the New Orleans Saints?
Here’s the list of positions eligible for No. 0:
We can probably rule out established veterans in signature numbers like Alvin Kamara, Taysom Hill, Michael Thomas, Demario Davis, Marshon Lattimore, and Tyrann Mathieu, and it’s unlikely that Chris Olave will switch up on us so soon. Right now...

Will Michael Thomas be healthy in 2023?
The health of Michael Thomas has been at the forefront of New Orleans Saints fan’s minds for over two seasons now. For whatever reason, Michael Thomas has failed to remain healthy over the past few years. Although frustrating, the health and safety of one of the league's top receivers remains most important.
As we move towards the 2023 NFL season, it appears that Michael Thomas is ready to remind the world that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank with recent tweets from Can’t Guard Mike himself and also updates from head coach Dennis Allen.

Wide Receivers the Saints should draft in 2023
With the NFL Draft just a month away, the conversation around the league has been: what should each team draft first?
For the New Orleans Saints, there’s no longer a position that is of desperate need. They’ve addressed running back as well as defensive tackle. Now, they can focus on skill players and best available at all positions.
Let’s dive into the wide receiver position and look at three prospects that the Black & Gold should look at during Draft weekend.
Hyatt was on another planet as a wideout for the Volunteers in 2022. The junior caught 67 passes for 1,267 yards and 15...

NFL makes big change to roster cuts process
The NFL descended on Phoenix this week for spring ownership meetings, where a number of proposals from teams were voted on — and in some cases ratified. One of the biggest changes is an overhaul for the annual roster cuts process. In 2023, every team (including the New Orleans Saints) will reduce rosters from 90 players to just 53 on Aug. 29.
That’s a huge departure from what’s been done before, when teams would gradually thin out their rosters with weekly waves of releases. Things have been trending in this direction in recent years with the number of release dates condensed down further...

Saints win total for 2023 set at 9.5, best in the NFC South
How many games do you see the New Orleans Saints winning in 2023? Draft Kings Sportsbook has set win totals for every NFL team, with the Saints over/under established at 9.5. So if you took the over at odds of +105, a $100 wager could turn into a $205 payout (a $105 profit), while the same bet on the under at odds of -125 returns $180 (a profit of $80).
The Saints are coming off of 7- and 9-win seasons the last two years, so it’s understandable that oddsmakers aren’t too bullish on them given the state of the team. Dennis Allen is still their head coach and Pete Carmichael is still...

Positions the Saints could still target after free agency
With free agency slowing down the New Orleans Saints have done a pretty good job of filling major holes this roster had at the end of the 2022 NFL season. Quarterback Derek Carr, running back Jamaal Williams, defensive linemen Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders should contribute immediately and see a good amount of snaps, meanwhile Bryan Edwards, Lonnie Johnson, and Johnathan Abram could carve out nice roles as backups. With less than a month until the NFL Draft and just over 15 million in cap space to still use the Saints could still add some talent and continue to build off of an...
