With OTAs and mandatory minicamp wrapped up for the New Orleans Saints, it’s time to look at who the biggest winners of the process were.

There are still a lot of decisions to be made, including that starting quarterback, but some players did a lot to advance themselves in competitions, saw new opportunities arise or benefited from the shaping of their group around them.

Here are three winners from the Saints’ offseason programs.

OL Trevor Penning

Penning may be the biggest winner of the offseason. He has a new and unimpeded (at least right now) path to remaining in the starting lineup ahead of a contract year, even though the team has reinvested at his initial position in each of the last two seasons.

The Saints clearly see value in Penning’s ability and play style and have therefore opened a chance for him to pan out at left guard. So far, the position shift is working out. More to be learned during training camp and the preseason, of course. But a good start for the fourth-year lineman.

EDGE Chase Young

After signing a new three-year deal with New Orleans, further investments at the edge rusher position present no threat to Young as the top pressure player for the team. ...

The New Orleans Saints are signing RB Cam Akers to the active roster following a tryout during minicamp this week, per Dianna Russini.

Akers, a five-year NFL veteran, is coming off the 2024 campaign in which he spent time with the Minnesota Vikings—the 5’10”, 217lb. back averaged over 4.5 yards per carry over 12 appearances last season. While Akers has been plagued by injuries in his past, a healthy Cam is also an effective piece.

In the early portion of his career, Akers was a member of the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl-winning team in 2021 after being drafted the year prior. In an...

In this week’s poll question, we asked which new player for the New Orleans Saints are you most looking forward to seeing play this season:

After 532 votes, rookie QB Tyler Shough took home a large majority of the votes with 62.8% coming in for the Saints second-round pick. Shough is the highest drafted quarterback in over 50 years for the Saints, and is currently competing for the starting job with the retirement of Derek Carr. Despite being the 40th overall pick, Shough is still a bit of an unknown commodity, as he only completed just one full college football season before turning pro...
