Saints have rebuilt depth, which means familiar names might end up playing elsewhere

By Nick Underhill -- Advocate

The Saints haven’t been much of a feeder system for the rest of the league.

For a while, after the Saints became trapped in a buffering loop of 7-9 finishes, the roster was top heavy and without the kind of quality depth needed to succeed and endure injuries. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen often calls the NFL a “backup league.” Well, when New Orleans needed one, it often turned to the street or waiver wire to see what was out there, or it churned the bottom of the roster.

There are better measures of success, like an 11-5 record and a playoff win, but it is interesting to evaluate the roster moves of the past few seasons and see which Saints eventually got picked up and had success with other teams. From 2014-2016, a high percentage of those cut by the Saints never again played a meaningful role in the NFL.

Mark Ingram II lobbies for Saints to get Alvin Kamara some help in the NFL draft

Some New Orleans Saints fans have balked at the idea of picking a running back at ninth overall in this year’s 2025 NFL draft, but don’t count Mark Ingram II in that number. The team’s former leader in touchdown runs and rushing yards is a big fan of Boise State superstar Ashton Jeanty. And he sees a scenario where Jeanty could not just coexist with Alvin Kamara, but help the Saints offense get back where it belongs among league leaders.

Ingram made the case for Jeanty when he sat down with Kay Adams this week.

“Man, I think you’re seeing how pivotal the running back position is. And...

Blake Grupe shares endorsement for Saints' next coach at Radio Row

All signs point to Kellen Moore being the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Until the ink dries on his contract, however, nothing is official. Maybe it is that small glimmer of hope that led to Blake Grupe saying he’s “a believer in Rizz.”

Grupe’s endorsement of Darren Rizzi joins those made by other Saints players on social media, like Alvin Kamara and maybe Cameron Jordan.

Grupe being a kicker gives him first-hand experience with Rizzi. Even before Dennis Allen got fired and Rizzi became the interim head coach, Rizzi was still Grupe’s main point of contact. That probably plays...

Could the New Orleans Saints draft a third Senior Bowl MVP in a row?

The New Orleans Saints have a long history of drafting players from the Senior Bowl, and this has been the case in recent years as well. In the last two offseasons, the Saints have selected back to back Senior Bowl MVPs in 2023 and 2024 with Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler respectively. Now, they may have the opportunity to select another in Jack Bech, who caught the game-winning touchdown in the 2025 Senior Bowl.

Bech tragically lost his brother Martin “Tiger” Bech during the Bourbon Street terror attack in New Orleans shortly on New Year’s Day. Martin was honored by the Senior Bowl...

Saints have the NFL's worst odds to trade for Defensive Player of the Year

  • News source: Jeremy Trottier

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett recently requested a trade away from the team, and to be frank, it makes sense given they are not particularly in a competing mindset as of now. It can be inferred that he would prefer to go to a team competing for a deep playoff run in 2025, and as of now, the betting odds most certainly reflect that.

Odds from DraftKings have the Saints as the definitive last-place team in the Garrett sweepstakes, with +10,000 odds to land him, behind three teams tied at +7,500. This directly correlates with another set of odds from them, the 2026 Super Bowl...

Kirk Cousins admits injuries suffered against the Saints derailed his season

One of the biggest storylines from the 2024 regular season involved the unexpected collapse of the Atlanta Falcons under newly-acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins. Things all went downhill in a midseason game with the New Orleans Saints.

After getting off to a hot start with a 6-3 record, the team suffered a four-game losing streak ultimately derailing their season. Cousins, who was benched late in the year due to poor performance, recently cleared the air about how his struggles down the stretch and how injuries potentially played a role in it.

Cousins, on Good Morning Football specified...

Comparing the Chiefs and Eagles by offensive positions

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off in Super Bowl LIX, and it should be fun. This matchup is not much of a surprise, and looking at the rosters, there is no question why these teams are in the Super Bowl. Knowing who will win this game is nearly impossible to predict, but the one thing we can do is see which team has the roster with the better offensive positions.

This one is relatively easy. Jalen Hurts has grown as a quarterback and has been a reason why the Eagles are currently in the Super Bowl, but 2024 was not a great season for him. Hurts only had...

Saints' roster gives their next coach a nearly blank slate when crafting the team

Kellen Moore believes in building around your players, but the New Orleans Saints are set up to build around Moore — or whoever their next head coach ends up being.

Good coaches understand you have to be adaptable with your playbook. It’s a mindset that is expressed when Moore spoke the media Monday night: “You build around your players. There’s different styles we’ve played over the years and that’s the fun part of it.”

When you have Saquon Barkley on your team, you tend to run the football a lot. No one did it more frequently than the Philadelphia Eagles. They led the NFL with 621...
