If you’re judging Spencer Rattler based on his winless record as a rookie, you’re taking the wrong approach.

Yes, winning games is the obvious objective, but it’s important to look beyond the record when evaluating a player. That’s what coaches around the league are doing, and per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, NFL coaches like what they see from the New Orleans Saints rookie.

Rich Eisen asked Pelissero about Kellen Moore’s noncommittal answer on Derek Carr earlier this week. Peliserro began speaking about Carr’s contract before quickly pivoting to the rookie’s performance.

Kellen Moore was introduced as the New Orleans Saints head coach on Thursday, but the report of him being less than enthused with the quarterback room will linger until at least the NFL draft, and possibly the entire offseason.

A decision on Derek Carr will likely be made soon. Regardless of that decision, Moore may desire to pick his own quarterback and turn his attention to this year’s draft class.

Insert Jaxson Dart.

Opinions seem to be split on where he may go in the upcoming draft. Bleacher Report’s scouting department believes Dart is a prime candidate to be drafted too high due...

If given three guesses, you probably wouldn’t pick which New Orleans Saints players made Bill Belichick’s All-Belichick team.

If you guessed All-Pro J.T. Gray you’d have half the answer.

Alvin Kamara would likely be the first name to come to your mind. He was the star of the team this year. If you went to the defensive side of the ball, you may guess Demario Davis or Bryan Bresee. Davis received All-Pro votes and Bresee was the breakout player of the year for New Orleans.

Paulson Adebo is the other Saint to appear on Belichick’s list. Adebo claiming one of four outside cornerback spots...

Under head coach Kellen Moore, the New Orleans Saints have been attempting to finalize their new staff for this upcoming season.

The team will be looking to potentially add to the defensive side of the ball soon as the Saints are set to interview Vikings pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator job. This would be Jones’ third interview of this year’s cycle, having met with both the Chicago Bears and the Jacksonville Jaguars a few weeks back.

Jones spent the last three seasons with the Vikings mostly working under highly praised...

Atlanta Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger has declined an interview with the New Orleans Saints for their offensive coordinator position, per a report by Jonathan Jones with CBS Sports.

No reason is known yet as to why Koger declined the interview but he has already interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns last month for their OC positions.

Koger spent three seasons as the tight ends coach of the Los Angeles Chargers before joining the Falcons in 2024.

The NFL season is over and that means it is time to shift all of the focus to the offseason and especially for the New Orleans Saints, the 2025 NFL draft. They enter this next phase of the year with limited money and a fair amount of draft capital, starting with the ninth-overall selection.

With that first round pick, they could end up going in about any direction. In their first mock draft following the Super Bowl, Bleacher Report’s scouting department had New Orleans selecting Marshall Thundering Herd defensive lineman Mike Green.

Here is what draft analyst Matt Holder had to say about...

The NFL offseason is upon us, and the New Orleans Saints have found their next head coach as they look ahead to free agency on the horizon. However, with some time between now and then, we have the opportunity to take a quick look back at the 2024 offseason for the Saints, and whether or not they made good choices when it came to signings and letting players walk.

One of the free agents the Saints signed last season was offensive lineman Oli Udoh, who ended up getting a little bit of playing time for the team throughout the year but not a whole lot.

Here is the signing summed up as well...

Cesar Ruiz salary: How much money did Saints RG make this season?

There have been plenty of maligned New Orleans Saints draft picks in recent years, but one of the most challenged was offensive guard Cesar Ruiz.

The Michigan Wolverines product was a first round selection in the 2023 NFL draft, which meant expectations were going to be high right away. It is safe to say he did not match the bar set for him, which led to a lot of fans wanting him off the team.

Now only did the Saints not cut him, but they doubled down and signed him to an extension. To give credit to Ruiz, he has been steadily improving each season. He may still not be an All-Pro, or the...

The New Orleans Saints are nearing the offseason once again, and as the time passes by, we have some time to consider the previous year of signings and departures. While the 2024 offseason was not particularly one filled with an exorbitant amount of moves for the Saints, there were definitely some notable ones that made things interesting.

One of the more intriguing departures from the Saints was cornerback Isaac Yiadom, who after a career year ended up leaving them in pursuit of a new free-agent deal, and found one with the San Francisco 49ers. Here’s how things have gone for him both...

For former New Orleans Saints Interim Head Coach Darren Rizzi, it didn’t take long to find a new home.

Amidst a difficult and turbulent 2024 campaign that saw head coach Dennis Allen be fired after a 2-7 start, Rizzi stepped up to the plate and led the Saints to a 3-5 record.

He brought a spark of energy and excitement to the Saints and their fans and made a difficult season a lot more enjoyable to rewatch.

This move will reunite him with Sean Payton and return him to a role he’s seen nothing but success with thus far in his career.

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...
