Here’s some news for New Orleans Saints fans calling for help at linebacker. The team has signed free agent Kendall Donnerson, as first reported by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football and confirmed by the Times-Picayune | Advocate’s Luke Johnson and the Athletic’s Katherine Terrell. The first thing to know about Donnerson’s skills set is his flexibility; he could end up playing more often at defensive end for the Saints given his history as a hand-in-the-dirt edge rusher at 6-foot-3 and 249 pounds, though some of his past teams have listed him at linebacker.

Donnerson is a fourth-year...

The Saints should be livid and likely are that star receiver Michael Thomas waited so long to have ankle surgery. Now, they are bracing to be without Thomas for about half the season.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports Thomas is expected to start the season on the physically unable to perform list, which will keep him out at least six weeks, and return by Week 7 against the Seahawks.

The surgery, which Thomas underwent in June, calls for a four-month recovery. It’s the same ankle Thomas injured in Week 1 last season, and he ended up playing only seven games.

Thomas signed a five-year...

The New Orleans Saints are beginning their most significant transition in 15 years.

Drew Brees has retired and a dozen other key players from last year’s team are gone for a variety of reasons.

As the start of the 2021 training camp looms, the four-time defending NFC South champion Saints are still one of the more talented teams in the NFL. Sean Payton is still one of the longest-tenured and most-successful coaches in the league.

But things are changing as New Orleans ventures into the post-Brees era.

Crescent City Sports takes a comprehensive look at this transition in this...

Nothing is official until he’s on the practice field in training camp, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Aaron Rodgers is planning to play for the Green Bay Packers this season. That puts him on a collision course with his Week 1 opponent — the New Orleans Saints.

This news arrives after a tumultuous summer of friction between Green Bay and the reigning league MVP, with speculation of a high-profile divorce swirling around the NFL. LeVar Burton must have done a better job auditioning for his “Jeopardy” hosting opportunity (as did Saints superfan Robin Roberts) than Rodgers...

Last year, Bills receiver Stefon Diggs made an immediate impact with his new team, leading the league in receptions and receiving yards. That wasn’t enough, however, to vault him to the top of the Madden ratings for the new version of the game.

Diggs actually lands at No. 4 in the initial ratings, with a 97 overall. Landing at No. 1 is Packers receiver Davante Adams, with a 99. Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins is No. 2 with a 98. Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill is No. 3, also with a 98.

Titans receiver Julio Jones has a 95 and is fifth. Saints receiver Michael Thomas comes in at No. 6...

After Friday's news that All-Pro WR Michael Thomas will miss a significant portion to start the 2021 season after ankle surgery, the New Orleans Saints were expected to look at free-agent options at wide receiver.

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports on Monday that the Saints will work out a handful of free agents at the position. The most notable of those names is former New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan.

Hogan, who turns 34 in October, has 216 receptions for 2,795 yards and 18 touchdowns through a nine-year NFL career. He last played for the New York Jets in 2020, appearing in...

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints have a new home: the Caesars Superdome.

The NFL team announced that it had reached a 20-year exclusive naming rights deal with Caesars Entertainment, Inc., to rename New Orleans' iconic Superdome.

Last week, the Louisiana legislature's Joint Budget committed unanimously approved the deal. Although the Saints did not share the final details of the contract, it is estimated to be worth $138 million according to information provided by the committee.

There haven’t been many self-promoters in the NFL like Chad Johnson. The man called “Ochocinco” also happens to be a big fan of Michael Thomas, so news of the All-Pro wide receiver’s offseason ankle surgery has Johnson looking at the New Orleans Saints a little differently.

Of course the 43-year old isn’t seriously looking to come out of retirement; he’s busy enjoying the best breakfasts Miami can offer when he isn’t joining celebrity boxing matches. But it doesn’t speak well of the Saints receiving corps as it stands that Johnson could joke about this and get anything but laughs in...

Mike Garafalo reported that the Saints are hosting a group of veteran wide receivers in New Orleans for workouts. Former NFL wideout Chris Hogan is one of the candidates hoping to latch-on with the New Orleans. At the moment, Hogan is playing lacrosse for the Cannons Lacrosse Club in the PLL.

The most intriguing tweet of the morning came for Chad Johnson. The former All-Pro wide receiver wrote, "@sainTS, Here me out, even years removed I’m STILL in better shape than 90% of these earthlings & can play until my guy @Cantguardmike [Michael Thomas] comes back, don’t need money/contract...

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the Saints are hosting a group of free agents for a workout on Monday, notably including former New England Patriots receiver Chris Hogan.

The NFL’s July 15 deadline for extending franchise-tagged players has come and gone, but the New Orleans Saints were unable to strike a deal with standout safety Marcus Williams.

Williams signed his $10.612 million franchise tag in March, which he will play on for the upcoming season. New Orleans must now wait until the 2021 season has concluded to reopen contract negotiations.

This is the first time in the Sean Payton era that the Saints have failed to sign a franchise-tagged player prior to the deadline.

Williams has recorded 13 interceptions, 30 pass deflections and 246 total tackles...
