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."

With free agency slowing down the New Orleans Saints have done a pretty good job of filling major holes this roster had at the end of the 2022 NFL season. Quarterback Derek Carr, running back Jamaal Williams, defensive linemen Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders should contribute immediately and see a good amount of snaps, meanwhile Bryan Edwards, Lonnie Johnson, and Johnathan Abram could carve out nice roles as backups. With less than a month until the NFL Draft and just over 15 million in cap space to still use the Saints could still add some talent and continue to build off of an...

Saints meet with top guard prospect O'Cyrus Torrence before Florida pro day

The Draft Network’s Justin Melo reports that the New Orleans Saints are one of multiple teams catching up with Florida Gators right guard O’Cyrus Torrence before his school’s pro day this week, and it’s easy to see why: if an interior offensive lineman is going to be picked in the first round this year, it’s probably Torrence.

He’s played at a high level both at right guard (with Florida) and at left guard (earlier in his career at Louisiana-Lafayette) in college, and he’s done well enough in the pre-draft process to continue to earn first-round consideration. Melo also lists the Titans...

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...
