The Saints signed Edwards on Monday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Edwards opened 2022 with the Falcons and appeared in seven games for the team, but he caught just three passes for 15 yards before getting cut in November. The 24-year-old spent the next several weeks on the Chiefs' practice squad before being let go from Kansas City as the playoffs started. In New Orleans, Edwards links back up with former teammate Derek Carr. Edwards will try to carve out a depth role this summer.

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.”

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 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...

The New Orleans Saints are bringing in some receiving talent, signing WR Bryan Edwards.

Edwards is a former third-round pick who was drafted by the Raiders. He will reunite with QB Derek Carr. Edwards had his best year with Carr in 2021. He hauled 34 receptions, 571 yards, and 3 TDs in 2021.

He was then traded to the Falcons, where he was underutilized and barely played. However, Edwards is still very young and has a ton of talent. He will reunite with Carr, and they already have some great chemistry.

Edwards likely compete for the WR3 spot with Rashid Shaheed as the Saints continue to...

To find out, we took a look at the initial NFL Unit Grades for the 2023 season from ESPN’s Mike Clay, which grade each position group and weights them based on importance and quality on a scale from 0.1 to 4.0.

The biggest vulnerability for the Saints is clear: the defensive interior, graded a 0.4, fourth-worst around the league. They also have vulnerabilities to address at wide receiver (1.8) and tight end (1.8). And Clay isn’t sold on their status at quarterback (1.9)...

While they have enough bodies to go into next season with, they may not been done adding options. A lot of the receivers have similar builds and play styles. They could look to the draft to add different kinds of receivers.

For now, here is how the room is coming along after a couple of weeks of free agency:
