The New Orleans Saints are getting ready for the 2023 NFL Draft. It was reported that the team has a private workout and visit set up with QB Aidan O’Connell.

O’Connell is a QB out of Purdue University. As a Boilermaker, he set multiple records, one of which was joining Saints legend Drew Brees as the only Boilermakers to throw for 500 passing yards multiple times in a single season.

Saints fans might be wondering why the team is looking at a QB when they just signed Derek Carr. Most likely, the team is just doing its due diligence. They aren’t looking to replace Carr anytime soon, but...

Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but Sean Payton’s Denver Broncos hired one of his old New Orleans Saints assistants. Joe Vitt exited retirement to join Payton in Denver, the team announced this week, listing him as a senior defensive assistant. Vitt previously coached linebackers under Payton for a decade in New Orleans but was dismissed along with a number of tenured assistants during the 2017 offseason. He also served as interim head coach when Payton was suspended for the 2012 campaign.

Vitt, 68, got his start as a coach on the Baltimore Colts back in 1979 and brings decades of...

Derek Carr impressed by New Orleans Saints' crafty salary cap accounting

There’s been a bit of an adjustment period for Derek Carr after he signed with the New Orleans Saints. Not just in moving his family from the communities they’ve lived grown up in, over in Southern California and Nevada to New Orleans, but in seeing how differently one NFL organization can be run compared to another. After spending most of a decade with the cash-strapped Raiders, he’s been blown away by how big of spenders the Saints have been in free agency.

Carr made a guest appearance on his nephew Austin’s Harvester Sports Podcast, where he noted how impressed he was by the team’s...

Derek Carr's Saints wish list starts with catching a Taysom Hill TD pass

There are a lot of NFL defenders who can say they’ve been outrun by Taysom Hill (or run over by him) on a touchdown-scoring play, but there aren’t many guys who can say they’ve caught a touchdown pass from the do-it-all New Orleans Saints utility player. Last year, Hill became the first player since the AFL-NFL merger to score at least 10 touchdowns as a passer, runner, and receiver, including the playoffs.

Derek Carr probably has a long list of items to check off on his Saints to-do list, but he’d really like to join the exclusive group who have hit paydirt on a pass from Hill. Carr made...

The New Orleans Saints have brought in a couple of Derek Carr’s former Las Vegas Raiders teammates, and he played a part in recruiting at least one of them. Carr shared some insight on veteran safety Johnathan Abram on his nephew Austin’s Harvester Sports Podcast, detailing how he reached out to the Raiders’ former first-round pick in hopes of getting him to New Orleans. Abram later signed a one-year contract with the Saints.

“I was begging him to (sign here),” Carr recounted. “You know, he was going through the process (in free agency). I was like bro, come be a Saint. Stop playing. You...

It’s understandable that Derek Carr would commit his due diligence before signing with the New Orleans Saints, but it’s refreshing to hear his side of the story that brought him to the black and gold. Carr joined his nephew Austin’s Harvester Sports Podcast to reflect on the busy weeks he’s experienced as a free agent before landing with the Saints, and one anecdote he shared was some communication with leaders of the team before pens went to paper.

“One thing that’s important to me, is how do y’all feel about it?” Carr recounted in conversations with the Saints’ defensive captains...

Try not to overreact to this: New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen shared an update on wide receiver Michael Thomas and his recovery from November toe surgery at NFL owners meetings in Phoenix on Tuesday.

When asked about his star player’s status, Allen said that Thomas is making progress in recovery: “He’s not 100%. We’re going to be cautious with it and take our time. We don’t want to put him out there until he’s 100%. I expect him to be fully healthy and ready to go. When that point in time is, I don’t want to get into those speculations.”

Allen added, “But yeah, we feel good...

Here’s the hard-hitting analysis and journalism you’re looking for. The New Orleans Saints announced a series of jersey number changes after the first few weeks of free agency brought a small crowd of new players to the roster.

And some players returning from the 2022 squad are planning to wear new numbers in 2023, though that’s subject to change this far out from training camp and the start of the regular season. We’re still waiting on new numbers for wider receiver Bryan Edwards and kicker Alex Quevedo.

So don’t go placing any jersey preorders just yet (remember how long it took Tyrann...

The Saints are replacing one former starting offensive lineman on their coachign staff with another.

Long-time offensive guard Jahri Evans is expected to serve as the assistant offensive line coach. Luke Johnson of the Times Picayune first reported the news.

The Saints and Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame inductee fills the void left by Zach Strief who departed for a job with Sean Payton and the Broncos this offseason.

Evans, a four-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler, worked as an intern with the Saints during last season’s training camp. He will work with offensive line coach Doug...

The New Orleans Saints have the 29th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft which was acquired via the Sean Payton trade with the Denver Broncos. We recently ran a poll on Twitter where 64% of voters said we should stick with picking at 29.

So, let’s look at the 3 best options that the Saints should go with at number 29.

Ranked in no particular order:

1. Zay Flowers WR- The Saints have already met with the receiver from Boston College twice over dinner as the draft has inched closer. Flowers is as close as you will get to a Deebo Samuel type player in this draft. He is deceptively quick...

This is good to see: Nola.com’s Luke Johnson reports that the New Orleans Saints are adding Jahri Evans to their coaching staff, where Evans will assist offensive line coach Doug Marrone. Evans replaces Zach Strief, who he played next to for most of his 11 years in New Orleans; Strief left for a promotion on Sean Payton’s rebuilding Denver Broncos staff earlier this offseason.

Interestingly, the Saints previously hired former Los Angeles rams offensive line coach Kevin Carberry for the same assistant position working with Marrone. So we’ll see exactly how those day-to-day responsibilities...

The New Orleans Saints excited some fans early this week with the pickup of wide receiver Bryan Edwards, who made some of his best catches on passes from Derek Carr when they were both playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Saints could use more help at receiver given the thin depth on their roster, so signing Edwards makes a lot of sense.

Now they’re together again in black and gold, and hoping to reestablish the connection that saw Edwards eclipse 500 receiving yards just two years ago. Here’s a quick look at some of their best completions in silver and black, giving us an idea of what...
