Phoenix – Dennis Allen didn't proffer a timeline or specific update on receiver Michael Thomas during his media availability Tuesday at the NFL Owners Meetings.

But the New Orleans Saints coach said he sees progress from Thomas, who played three games last season before a toe injury, which required season-ending surgery, shut him down.

Thomas last played a full season in 2019, when he was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year with a league-record 149 catches for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns.
He's been able to play in 10 games in the three seasons since.

"I don't want to get into specifics on that, but yet, he's making progress in the recovery," Allen said. "He's not 100 percent, and 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 percent."

Stock up for Bernard-Converse and Ojulari, down for Boutte at LSU Pro Day

At LSU Pro Day, all 32 NFL teams were represented, although the actual number of NFL personnel, scouts, coaches and executives were down from previous years.

LSU doesn’t have the marquee quarterback or running back it has had in previous years. The Tigers do have some intriguing stories though, both this year and beyond.

For starters, cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse helped himself with a massive 42-inch vertical leap with a 4.4 flat 40-yard dash.



Bernard-Converse, the Shreveport native, likely moved up the draft board of many teams with his impressive showing.

The same cannot be...

Saints schedule meeting with Purdue QB prospect Aidan O'Connell

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the New Orleans Saints are one of many teams to have scheduled a meeting with Purdue quarterback Aidan O’Connell, a mid-round prospect in the 2023 NFL draft. O’Connell weighed in at 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds at Purdue’s pro day, good size for an NFL quarterback, but he didn’t go through any athletic testing drills which clouds his evaluation. It’s possible the Saints want to meet with him so they can put the rookie prospect through his paces and see how he compares to his peers.

O’Connell has been an effective game manager for the Boilermakers the...

The offseason is always a time to feel good about the team you support.

It also a time for the organization of the team you support to feel good about itself as well.

Both are true of the New Orleans Saints.

Media and fan reaction to the action taken by the organization has been positive, in general, certainly more positive than negative.

Executive Vice President and general manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Dennis Allen expressed optimism about where the Saints are at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix.

The additions of Derek Carr and Jamaal Williams have certainly impressed...

ESPN's 7-round NFL mock draft brings a big haul for the Saints

Here’s a deep dive into the 2023 NFL draft from ESPN’s Jordan Reid, who assembled a seven-round mock draft with projections for all 32 teams — including the New Orleans Saints, who got great value with several of their early-round picks.

The Saints aren’t the easiest team to project for. They have some quirky draft habits and unique team needs, and an established core of talent that makes it hard for rookies to carve out a role right away. But Reid managed to link them to some players who could help them out a lot in 2023. Here’s a look at each of the Saints picks from his extensive mock...

New Orleans Saints 2023 team betting futures

NFL betting does not start and stop with the games. For instance, sportsbooks are currently releasing teams betting lines for various totals in the upcoming season. These bets are commonly called “futures” by the sportsbook. Each bet will also use the standard $100 line. For instance, if a number has a plus, it means wagering $100 will win that amount. If a +1000 line with a $100 wager hits, the bettor can expect to win $1,000. If the line is a negative number, then it means that is the amount needed to bet to win $100. A -150 bet needs $150 on the line to win $100. Negative numbers are...

Dennis Allen: Michael Thomas isn’t 100 percent, but feel good about where he’s at

Wide receiver Michael Thomas will remain with the Saints this year after reworking his contract with the team, but it remains to be seen how much he will be able to help the team on the field after a run of injuries have kept him on the sideline for almost all of the last three seasons.

Thomas missed nine games in 2020 and all of the 2021 season due to ankle injuries and he was limited to three games last season because of a toe injury that required him to have surgery. Saints head coach Dennis Allen said this week that Thomas is still recovering from that injury and that the team is...

The Athletic's latest NFL mock draft brings the Saints a mold-breaking defensive tackle

How many mock draft writers does it take to figure out what the New Orleans Saints are going to do in April’s 2023 NFL draft? The Athletic’s Diante Lee and Nate Tice collaborated on a first-round mock draft, which brought an unconventional (if wise) pick to the Saints in Pitt Panthers defensive tackle Calijah Kancey. Tice wrote of the match:

Kancey is a heck of player — he bagged 34.5 tackles for loss and 16 sacks for Pitt, with Pro Football Focus charting crediting him with 111 pressures over three years and 33 games. He’s very disruptive up front and beats opponents with a...

Three-round CBS Sports mock draft has Saints investing heavily in their defensive line

Mock drafts here, get your mock drafts: we’ve got the latest New Orleans Saints picks from a three-round projection by CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson, who took on the unenviable task of matching 100-plus draft prospects with all 32 teams.

It’s easy to see his vision for the Saints, though. Wilson has New Orleans invested a ton of resources in its defensive line, which could use the help after the unit lost three starters in free agency. Marcus Davenport is a Vikings, David Onyemata is a (very well-compensated) Falcon, and Shy Tuttle is a Panther.

The Saints have signed some replacements...

Ex-NFL general manager's mock draft has Saints making a splash at wide receiver

Who better to forecast what may happen in the 2023 NFL draft than a former general manager? Mike Tannenbaum made a guest appearance for ESPN and shared his take at what the first round of this year’s event might look like from a month away, and it brought an interesting prospect to the New Orleans Saints.

Sure, they drafted Chris Olave in the first round of last year’s draft. Rashid Shaheed seems poised to break out into a bigger role. And Michael Thomas is working to reestablish himself as one of the game’s best receivers. But Tannenbaum can’t shake the idea of how appealing USC Trojans...
