New Orleans Saints Re-sign Offensive Lineman
By Tyler Eschette | Yardbarker
The New Orleans Saints were able to keep their depth at the offensive guard position in check after resigning Calvin Throckmorton to a one-year deal. Throckmorton was slated to hit the free agency market that starts on March 15th when the official start of the league year begins, but the Saints were able to lock him up before that date. According to NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill, the one-year deal for Throckmorton is worth $940,000. He qualified for the ERFA tender value at around $825,000, but New Orleans signed him to the veteran’s minimum.
Calvin Throckmorton’s Football Career:
Throckmorton spent his collegiate career at Oregon before being drafted after the conclusion of the 2019 season for the Ducks. With Oregon, Throckmorton would make 52 consecutive starts to finish his collegiate career. The Bellevue, Washington native would allow just one sack over his final 3,222 snaps, including 1,602 in pass protection. He was the only FBS lineman during the 2018 season to start at four different positions.
Throckmorton has been able to show his versatility to play at any position on the offensive line and his accolades showed that during his junior and senior season at Oregon as he was named a second-team All-American.

As expected, Broncos hire former Saints interim coach to Sean Payton's staff
As expected, the Denver Broncos are hiring former New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi to Sean Payton’s staff as special teams coordinator, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Rizzi went 3-5 after taking over from Dennis Allen last season and earned a shot at the full-time head coaching job, but ultimately the Saints chose to go in a different direction.
So he’ll be reuniting with Payton and many former coworkers in Denver. Payton brought Rizzi to New Orleans in the first place after he parted ways with the Miami Dolphins, ending a long run as their own special...

The New Orleans Saints have their coach after hiring Kellen Moore. They know which players are headed for free agency in March and which draft picks (or at least most of them) they own for the big event in April. So which dates should fans circle on their calendars?
Moore’s first offseason as a head coach will be full of big decisions. He needs to finish filling out his coaching staff and then turn his attention to the personnel on the roster. Some of those decisions will be impacted by guarantee trigger dates written into players’ contracts and other deadlines. Here are the flashpoints we’re watching out for in the weeks and months ahead:

Hubbard’s Mock Draft 2.0: Building an offense for Kellen Moore
It’s been official for a couple of days now, but former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator and Super Bowl LIX champion, Kellen Moore, is the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
The hire signals a new era of New Orleans football, with all ties to Sean Payton officially severed. The focus for the next week or two will be building a new staff, but shortly after that, they will put all their time and energy into free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft.
It’s no secret that the Saints roster isn’t the best and has some massive holes, but luckily for Moore, he has a lot of draft capital...

Chase’s father, Jim Haslett was the head coach of the Saints from 2000-2005.

Yaccarino: Give Kellen Moore some time
Kellen Moore is now officially the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints, and although it is extremely exciting, some things need to be understood going into next season. Seeing immediate success in 2025 should not be expected, and really, the first year of a head coach’s tenure should be treated like a rookie year. In addition, the Saints and Moore understand that rebuilding this team will be a process, and this roster is not in a great spot.
With some aging veterans, bad contracts, lack of young talent, a question mark at quarterback, and so many holes on the roster, New Orleans has...

Fleur-de-Links, February 14: Saints future looks bright with new head coach
Let’s take a look at some of the key points from the introductory press conference of the 19th head coach in New Orleans Saints history, Kellen Moore.
The Saints brought back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, a former Super Bowl champ and national champion with the LSU Tigers.
The Saints will not be back to winning the NFC and Lombardi Trophies overnight. It will take some time and patience to get back to where the Black and Gold are perennial contenders.

Jennings: Should the Saints take a chance on this Canadian QB?
The New Orleans Saints have a significant decision looming regarding starting QB Derek Carr’s future in the Big Easy. If they choose to move on from the veteran signal-caller, Laurier Golden Hawks QB Taylor Elgersma could make sense as a Day 3 NFL Draft pick.
The 6’6”, 220-pound gunslinger has a cannon for an arm, can extend plays with his legs, and I’d consider his decisiveness above average. Elgersma had a breakout senior season, completing 293 of his 397 pass attempts (73.8%) for 4,252 yards, 35 touchdowns, and just 11 interceptions in 13 games played. He was the winner of the 2024 Hec...

Kellen Moore believes his young age is a tremendous value' for a coach
Kellen Moore is the youngest head coach in the NFL, and will be peers with some of the New Orleans Saints veterans. Sure, he’s a young head coach for the first time, but Moore has years of experience with with being a young coach.
“I’ve been in those shoes for a number of years now, being a 31-year-old offensive coordinator, that first time, half the guys in the room I was teammates with two years prior,” Moore reflected during his introductory press conference.

Kellen Moore praises Alvin Kamara in opening press conference
After watching Kellen Moore’s Philadelphia Eagles offense help Saquon Barkley achieve the best season of his career, there should be excitement for what Moore can do with Alvin Kamara on the New Orleans Saints.
Moore had high praise for Kamara in his introductory press conference: “A lot of people for a long time have been looking for how can we find an Alvin on our football team.”
One thing that dropped for Barkley last year was his output as a receiver. Excluding the season he only played two games, Barkley saw his lowest number of targets, receptions and receiving yards. On the other...
