New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said he was not concerned about any potential "backlash" he might face after inviting former Los Angeles Raiders coach Jon Gruden to attend practices last week, more than a year and a half after an email leak forced Gruden out of the league.

Following Tuesday’s OTA session, Allen said Gruden was among several coaches who have visited the team, adding the motivation behind the invitation was Gruden's connection with quarterback Derek Carr.

"Obviously, Jon's a guy that has a lot of experience with Derek, and Derek has had his most success under Jon Gruden," Allen said.

"And, so, we felt like bringing him in, having a chance to sit down and visit with him as an offensive staff, with the quarterbacks and just getting some new thoughts and ideas of things we might be able to implement."

Allen said the visit from Gruden likely won’t result in any major overhaul of the team’s offensive strategy. ...

Watch: Saints rookies tour New Orleans, meet fans and get first impression of the city

This is a quick, fun watch: the New Orleans Saints rookie class toured the city to visit historical sites and local icons before sampling crawfish and bread pudding at a meet-and-greet with fans, and there’s a lot to take away from their experience — not to mention a blink-and-you-miss-it shot of fourth-round offensive lineman Nick Saldiveri wearing a medical walking boot, after head coach Dennis Allen previously said that he’d suffered a calf injury which has kept him out of practice.

But we’re here for the positives. Whether it’s first-round draft pick Bryan Bresee admitting that he...

Saints offense ranked among NFL's most-improved units going into 2023

There’s a lot to like about the New Orleans Saints offense — on paper, per Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine, who says the Saints are the second-most improved offense going from the 2022 season into 2023, trailing only the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets.

The way they see it, the Saints are upgrading over every player they moved on from offensively. Here’s how Ballentine broke it down:

Look, that’s a compelling list of positive moves. You’d be forgiven for having high expectations for the Saints in the fall. But until they back up all of this hype during games, we risk confusing the...

This projected 2023 stat line for Derek Carr would be a big disappointment

What are the expectations for Derek Carr in 2023? Obviously the most important goal is for him to lead the New Orleans Saints back to the playoffs and end their two-year postseason drought, but what about his individual performance?

Let’s start by checking in on this projection from Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay, who sees Carr as a big upgrade over New Orleans’ past options at quarterback (at least since Drew Brees hung up his cleats). But it might be too little, too late for Carr:

It would help take the edge off if Carr guides the Saints to the postseason (something, it’s worth noting, he...

Are the New Orleans Saints set at defensive end? There’s no question that the group has a lot to prove, but at the same time the Saints have kind of boxed themselves into a corner. Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson are playing on lucrative extensions, while Tanoh Kpassagnon signed an extension earlier this spring. Highly-drafted players like Payton Turner and Isaiah Foskey need snaps, and they’ve rounded out the group by bringing in depth pieces Jabari Zuniga and Niko Lalos from the XFL.

But there might be room for one more on top of the depth chart, putting someone like Turner or...

Saints waive Alex Quevedo, thin out training camp kicker competition

Earlier on Wednesday when the New Orleans Saints announced the signings of two new offensive players, they also announced that they were waiving former Central Oklahoma kicker Alex Quevedo. Quevedo was signed back in January to a reserve/future deal after trying out for the team last summer. The 90-man roster is now at full capacity and any additional pickups will require a corresponding move.

With Quevedo off the team, the Saints now only have two kickers left on the roster in Wil Lutz and Blake Grupe. Lutz has been the primary kicker since 2016. He had been a very reliable kicker for...

There is a constant conversation around whether or not the New Orleans Saints should blow up their roster or continue to try to compete. The Saints have shown no signs of backing down, especially with another aggressive offseason of adding important pieces.

A lot was made of their defensive losses, such as Marcus Davenport, David Onyemata and Kaden Elliss, but the Saints have more than made up for that in free agency. They also went out and secured who should be the best quarterback in the division with Derek Carr from the Las Vegas Raiders.

Here are all of the offseason additions ranked...

Yikes. New Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans is excited to share the practice field with Mike McDaniel’s Miami Dolphins later this summer, having scheduled a couple of joint practice sessions with Miami before their preseason game in August. He’s also looking forward to meeting Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints, but it’s pretty clear which matchup he’s more eager about.

“Excited to go against the Dolphins. We can get a lot out of joint practices, especially against a team as good as Miami,” Ryans said, via KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson. He added, “Saints as well. Different...

At this time last year, Rashid Shaheed was just another number on the spring roster of the New Orleans saints.

An undrafted rookie trying to gain the attention of the staff back then, the Weber State product had confidence in his ability. He just needed a chance.

After not hearing his name called for the 2022 NFL Draft, Shaheed chose New Orleans, a team with a solid history of striking gold on undrafted free agents. The $220,000 deal was the sixth highest amount shelled out by an NFL team for an undrafted player following that draft.

Injuries including an ACL tear from his college days...

Saints sign TE Jesse James

The New Orleans Saints have turned one of their weak points last year into a stellar unit. The team has signed veteran TE Jesse James. The team had no reliable option besides Juwan Johnson last year. The team decided they needed to do something, so they went out and signed Foster Moreau and now Jesse James.

Johnson will likely lead the unit, with Moreau also playing a key role. James will be a solid depth piece for the team. He’s most known for his four years with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Saints kick off a training camp competition at fullback by signing Jake Bargas

Red alert: the New Orleans Saints have opened a training camp competition at fullback, signing veteran free agent Jake Bargas to push Adam Prentice for his roster spot over the summer. Grab your popcorn.

Prentice has been a regular for the Saints at fullback ever since they claimed him off of waivers back in 2021, though he’s spent a lot of time on their practice squad. If Bargas does well, he might take the job for his own.

Bargas played collegiately at North Carolina and signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2020, though he only appeared in two games and...

This could be a good move: the New Orleans Saints signed veteran tight end Jesse James on Wednesday, reinforcing a part of their depth chart which has already seen changes this offseason with the addition of hometown hero Foster Moreau. James has been assigned the No. 81 jersey.

Originally a fifth-round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers back in 2015, James appeared in 62 games (6 of them playoff games) with Pittsburgh before he spent two years with the Detroit Lions. He’s on his third team in three years by signing with the Saints, having joined the Chicago Bears in 2021 and the...

Veteran tight end Jesse James has found a new NFL home.

The NFL’s daily transaction report brings news that James has signed with the Saints. No terms of the deal have been announced.

James played in two games for the Browns last season before landing on injured reserve for the rest of the year. The 2015 fifth-round pick spent four years with the Steelers before moving on for two years in Detroit and one year in Chicago.

James has 157 catches, 1,522 yards, and 12 touchdowns over the course of his entire career.

The Saints also signed Foster Moreau recently. The two newcomers join Juwan...

Well that’s interesting. Former Oakland Raiders chief executive officer Amy Trask had a low opinion of the New Orleans Saints’ decision to hire her old coworker Dennis Allen as head coach last year, and she doesn’t appear to be reconsidering her stance in the wake of Allen’s decision to bring in disgraced ex-Raiders coach Jon Gruden to visit the facility.

“Res Ipsa Loquitor (learned that in law school),” Trask wrote from her official Twitter account, “and before anyone replies ‘but, but, but,’ remember this: I worked with both men.”

It’s safe to say that Trask knows both Allen and Gruden...

The New Orleans Saints addressed the quarterback spot in a big way this offseason by signing veteran quarterback Derek Carr. Reactions to the signing have been mixed, as not everyone is sold on if Carr can bring a team to the light.

In a recent article ESPN’s Dan Graziano said that Carr has to improve in New Orleans if he wants to garner respect as a top-quarterback in the league; Carr left the Raiders with a 63-79 record as a starter and just one playoff appearance in 2021, but it’s a team sport and a lot of factors were out of his control. Here was Graziano’s reasoning:

Many New Orleans Saints fans didn’t expect to see him so soon after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but Moreau completed treatment in the spring, signed his contract, and has already hit the practice field working to get back in rhythm with the same quarterback he’s always caught passes from: Derek Carr, his former Las Vegas Raiders teammate.

Moreau’s coming of his best season as a pro with 33 receptions for 420 yards and a pair of touchdown catches, having converted a career-high 24 first downs and played 67.6% of...

The New Orleans Saints are paying $24.5 million in dead money to eight of their former players, including several draft picks and a couple of high-profile veterans who left in free agency this spring. That’s the bad news.

Here’s the good news: this is, by far, the lowest dead money total the Saints have carried into the offseason in recent years. It takes up only 10.8% of their 2023 salary cap, compared to challenging portions of 15.9% in 2022 and 18.4% in 2021. After suffering some cap constraints from the COVID-19 and the departures of cornerstone players like Drew Brees, Terron...
