"He's going through his process and we're going through our process"

Nothing concrete has solidified between the New Orleans Saints and free agent quarterback Derek Carr, but the mutual interest remains, as the two sides met again on Tuesday night in Indianapolis, where Saints team officials and coaches have gathered to further their evaluation of the incoming rookie class at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Carr visited the Saints in New Orleans earlier in February, before he was released by the Las Vegas Raiders.

"We had a good visit," Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis said. "He's going through his process and we're going through our process, and we'll see what happens."

Coach Dennis Allen, who drafted Carr as head coach of the Oakland Raiders in 2014, said he has a great relationship with Carr.

"I think he's highly competitive, I think he's highly intelligent, I think he's got great work ethic, I think he's an outstanding leader," Allen said. "Those are all the qualities that I like about him, and those are qualities that we like in the quarterback position. We like the player."

Saints 2024 rookie wide receiver has been cleared from his ankle injury

The New Orleans Saints’ injury bug is a brutal one, and in the 2024 season they dealt with injuries at pretty much any position you can think of. One of the positions hit the hardest was the wide receivers, including Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Bub Means early on.

The rookie of the group, Means, suffered a high-ankle sprain during Week 8 of the season, and would end up missing the remainder of the year recovering from it. He initially tried to come back from injured reserve but suffered a setback in practice and was shut down. Means did look strong when his playing time got bumped...

Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, but don’t expect Cameron Jordan to follow suit. Garrett and Jordan are at two different points of their careers, but Kay Adams told the New Orleans Saints defensive end he was the first person Adams thought about when she heard the news.

Jordan questioned why, but didn’t let her answer before affirming: “I’m not asking for a trade from anywhere. I’m black and gold forever.”

This is a common sentiment from Jordan, so it may not seem out of the ordinary. However, he did consider forcing his way out during the regular season, so...

Reggie Bush reflects on how Drew Brees changed his career forever

The New Orleans Saints have been lucky to have some exceptional talents walk through their doors, and two of the most notable ones from their Super Bowl victory were Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. Brees was a once in a generation type player for a franchise, and Bush was an exceptional offensive talent to counterbalance the offense and give it great versatility.

However, the Saints almost did not get Bush, with the Houston Texans holding the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, they had the opportunity to take him, and both sides met an enormous amount leading up to that day...

2024 Saints free agent report cards: Was Willie Gay a good signing?

The NFL is nearing its offseason once again, and with that, teams will be vying for the top free agents on the market once again. With a somewhat underwhelming 2024 offseason for the New Orleans Saints, they only made a few signings that could have been viewed as true impact players.

One of the more notable signings they made at the time was linebacker Willie Gay Jr. who was set to compete with Pete Werner for the second LB spot. Ultimately this signing became less notable than anticipated, so let’s get into why that was the case:

Gay Jr’s contract was relatively simple in terms of...

This is a shame: New Orleans Saints legend and Super Bowl XLIV champion Jahri Evans was not selected for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Evans, the longtime right guard for the Saints and their current assistant offensive line coach, will have to wait another year for the voters to get it right.

Evans wasn’t part of the Hall of Fame’s four-man Class of 2025, its smallest since 2005. Neither were New Orleans locals Eli Manning and Reggie Wayne. Those to be inducted are Sterling Sharpe, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates, and Eric Allen, the Pro Bowl cornerback who spent three years...

Another former New Orleans Saints player will be inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. This year it was cornerback Eric Allen, who despite not being the longtime Saint in the class (as opposed to Jahri Evans), was a notable member of the team nonetheless. Allen was a member of the team from 1995 to 1997, where he would receive his sixth and last Pro Bowl nod in his first year with the team.

Allen was an exceptional defensive back who had a legendary career across the three teams he played for, accruing 54 career interceptions, 787 total tackles, and a...
