Five of the most decorated players in Saints history are among the Senior nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced that 183 former NFL players have been nominated for their Class of 2025 Seniors category. Five former New Orleans Saints are included on their list.

To be eligible, a player must have played at least five years in the league, had last appeared in a game no later than 1999, and had received at least one postseason honor.

The Seniors Committee has recently been created to help with the screening process of a potential Hall of Fame candidate who finished their playing days at least 25 years ago. This list will be reduced to around 50 players over the next few weeks. Before the end of this season, the committee will reduce the list to three Senior finalists for possible induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

Here are the former New Orleans Saints legends on the nomination list.

Mel Gray, RB/KR
Saints: 1986-1987

Gray was a second-round selection by New Orleans in a special 1984 Supplemental Draft held for players in the USFL or CFL. Once the original USFL folded, Gray was among several stars that joined the Saints from the expansion league. ...

Bobby Hebert calls Alvin Kamara a 'young 29' for a running back

Former New Orleans Saints quarterback and now WWL radio host, Bobby Hebert, had high praise for Alvin Kamara during the coaches show with Dennis Allen. Hebert called the running back “a young 29.”

At running back, the age of 30 is that point where people begin to mentally write off players. Hebert cautioned fans against doing that with Kamara. He still sees a player with a lot in the tank: “I’ve seen the burst in OTA’s in minicamps. I still think he can hit it and get it.”

Sunday’s performance backs that statement. Kamara ran for an easy 83 yards and didn’t run the ball in the final 18...

A look back at the history between the Saints and Cowboys

The New Orleans Saints (1-0) are on the road in Week 2 of the 2024 season to face the Dallas Cowboys (1-0) on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium.

The Saints first played the Cowboys back on October 15, 1967, in Cotton Bowl Stadium. New Orleans lost that game 14-10 and proceeded to lose their next 5 games to Dallas. In 1971, the Saints finally got their first win against the Cowboys 24-10, and it was in front of their fans at home in the Superdome.

This will be the 31st time that these two franchises will face one another during the regular season. The Saints currently have a 13-18 record...

Our offense vs their defense: Dallas Cowboys

Wow. I’m going to be honest, I expected to the New Orleans Saints to win this past weekend, but I don’t think anybody predicted that. The offense looked fresh, and the defense looked just as good, if not better.

Don’t get too excited though. The Saints have to go from playing one of the worst teams in the league at home to traveling to face one of the best teams in the league this weekend. The Dallas Cowboys also enjoyed a smooth week one. They decimated the Browns 33-17, but if it weren’t for a late touchdown, it would’ve been 33-10.

The Saints offense was the biggest question mark...

The New Orleans Saints got whatever they wanted during their matchup with the Carolina Panthers to kick off the 2024 regular season, and Caesars Superdome was loving every second of it. The offense was rolling, the defense was amped, and the special teams unit was hungry, as the Saints edged their division rivals 47-10.

This week’s breakout player was all over the field on Sunday afternoon, continuing to impress as he embraces his new role in the slot. The breakout player for the Saints’ Week 1 blowout win over the Panthers is CB Alontae Taylor.

Taylor carried the momentum from his...

Saints release unofficial depth chart for Week 2 at Cowboys

The New Orleans Saints released their unofficial depth chart for Week 2’s road game with the Dallas Cowboys, and there’s one notable change from the initial roster they shared one week ago.

It’s Will Harris starting at strong safety next too Tyrann Matheiu, not Jordan Howden. That lines up with what we saw in their season-opening in over the Carolina Panthers. Harris didn’t just open the game as a starter and intercept Bryce Young on the game’s first play from scrimmage. He was the only Saints defender to stay on the field for every defensive snap.

Beyond that, things are largely the...

Michael Thomas served his suspension. But will he sign with a new team?

Let’s start with the good news for Michael Thomas. The former New Orleans Saints wide receiver served his one-week NFL suspension stemming from an altercation with a construction worker near his home last year, and he’s now available to sign with a new team.

Now the bad news: Thomas doesn’t appear to be any closer to finding a new team to play for than when the Saints released him back in March. That’s not to say he doesn’t have options or that there won’t be suitors calling his agent in the days and weeks ahead. But a one-game suspension probably wasn’t going to keep anyone from signing...

Week 1 saw the New Orleans Saints get a huge win at home in the dome against the Carolina Panthers. The team was clicking on all cylinders in a great game and a great way to start off the 2024 season. This week will be a bigger challenge as the Saints hit the road to face the Dallas Cowboys in AT&T Stadium. Dallas also won their season opener against the Cleveland Browns and will be looking to extend that win streak against the Black & Gold. If the Saints can come out swinging like they did against the Panthers, they will give the Cowboys a serious run for their money or Dak’s money from...
