Jaxson Dart seems to be the one quarterback, other than Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward, who NFL draft experts believe has a chance to creep into the first round. Because of this, there’s a big spotlight on his progression through the pre-draft process. How would he fit in Kellen Moore’s offense with the New Orleans Saints?

Walking away from the Senior Bowl, one big flaw highlighted in Dart’s game was his issues taking snaps under center. In general, the game has become more shotgun-based, but that’s especially true for Kellen Moore’s offense.

If Dart is selected by the New Orleans Saints...

It’s mock draft season, and Pro Football Focus’ Nathan Jahnke is doing an interesting exercise. He just did a mock draft with no trades, and every team had to draft an offensive skill player. So, no offensive linemen and no defenders.

Jahnke also excluded Travis Hunter under the assumption he would play primarily defense as a professional.

With only offensive playmakers on the board, the New Orleans Saints landed on Jalen Milroe to lead Kellen Moore’s offense. They chose to pass on Omarion Hampton and Jaxson Dart in favor of Milroe.

Passing on Hampton could simply be about how Jahnke...

Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been one of the best signal-callers in NFL history, has dabbled in broadcast and has been quite the figure in the food industry scene between places like Walk-Ons and Smalls Sliders.

But one of the biggest questions surrounding his future, especially after his small stint at Purdue, is whether or not he will pursue a career in coaching in the future. For now, that does not seem like anything that will be on the immediate horizon. But, at the same time, Brees did not completely rule out the possibility.

“As far as specifically going into coaching...

The Saints have no shortage of issues to address in the 2025 NFL draft, and one of the biggest questions is as to what New Orleans should do with their picks — specifically the first one. That will come in the first round when the Saints make their initial selection at No. 9 overall on April 24 as the action begins.

Former New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees recently shared his thoughts on what he thinks his former team should be getting to work on in April, and one of the areas he seems to believe the Saints shouldn’t stress early is skill position players.

Despite some of the offensive...

There have been quite a few moving parts with former New Orleans Saints players throughout the past few offseasons, with some working out and some not so much. Another player has been added to the list of free agents, as former Saints defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins was released by the Cincinnati Bengals, the team announced.

Rankins left the Saints back in the 2021 offseason signing a two-year deal with the New York Jets, which he played out. He would then sign with the Houston Texans for 2023, and then the Cincinnati Bengals on a two-year deal for 2024 and 2025. Unfortunately, he dealt...

The New Orleans Saints have plenty of holes to fill in the 2025 NFL draft, which means that a number of different positions could be addressed in the first round. The consensus likely options seem to be the defensive end spot first with both wide receiver and offensive line falling behind.

Shockingly, though, Pro Football Focus revealed the player that is most often picked for the Saints in their mock drafts and it was wide receiver Luther Burden III. Here was their explanation:

The Missouri Tigers star has been one of the most fun players to watch in college football, but the fit with...

Kellen Moore has filled out the core of his New Orleans Saints offensive coaching staff, and it culminated with the hiring of Doug Nussmeier at offensive coordinator.

There are still some assistant positions available, but the New Orleans Saints now have their offensive coordinator and all position coaches hired. Wide receivers coach Keith Williams is the only coach who is confirmed to remain on the staff, as multiple offensive staff members followed Klint Kubiak to the Seattle Seahawks.

Other than Williams and running backs coach Joel Thomas, Moore stuck with hiring coaches he’d worked...

The New Orleans Saints have had a rough few years of drafting and developing homegrown talent, and the early impressions of the 2024 rookies didn’t necessarily change that. Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports recently ranked each NFL team’s rookie class last season, and the Saints’ group came in at No. 23. Trapasso tried to highlight the positives, but they didn’t make much of an impact:

Fuaga was indeed the clear option for the Saints’ best rookie last season as he started all 17 games at left tackle and looked solid. There were certainly some growing pains in moving from right tackle to left...

The New Orleans Saints have finally started to figure some things out on the coaching front, which starts to shift the focus back towards the roster and it’s needs.

Pro Football Focus analyst Mason Cameron recently put together a list of the ‘dream’ offseason targets for each team: one draft pick and one free agent. For the Saints, both players had to do with addressing the defensive line.

A lot has been made of the weakness and need at defensive end heading into this offseason, but the interior is not in much better shape. The free agent picked for New Orleans would address that, Los...

The HBCU Legacy Bowl is an all star game for draft eligible players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and it’s in the New Orleans Saints backyard for the fourth year in a row. This week started with the HBCU Combine on Monday then continued with practices from Tuesday through Friday. The entire week of activities took place at the Saints indoor facility. All 32 teams sent scouts to the event, but it can be assumed the Saints had the largest presence since they were the hosts of the event. The Legacy Bowl itself is Saturday Feb. 22 at 3 p.m. CT. You can watch it on NFL Network. Here are

The New Orleans Saints may have another coach leaving this offseason, as many others have done already. With Kellen Moore coming in as the new head coach, things have begun to change a bit when it comes to the staff, and he was given the reigns on who he wanted to be his assistants, position coaches, and coordinators seemingly.

However, one of those who was left in the middle of two regimes, offensive assistant Kevin Petry, may also be on the way out. This became more likely recently, as Petry has become a free agent coach, as was reported by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football.

The city of New Orleans has another major event lined up. After hosting Super Bowl LIX, the city will be the home of Wrestlemania 42 in 2026. It is the biggest event in all of pro wrestling and it’s making it’s return to the home of the New Orleans Saints.

The announcement was made by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on the latest episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown. It was an appropriate moment to make the announcement as Smackdown was live from the Smoothie King Center, home of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Wrestlemania 42 will take place next door at the Caesars Superdome.

The New Orleans Saints are in an intriguing position this offseason, as despite the salary cap being higher than anticipated, they remain in a tough spot regarding their money situation. The largest contract on the team in 2025 is quarterback Derek Carr, who is going to end up having a $51,458,000 cap hit.

With the hiring of new head coach Kellen Moore, maybe the Saints choose to keep Carr, or maybe they don’t and would rather look to pair Moore with a signal-caller of his own choice. One of the options would be drafting a quarterback, via trade-up or otherwise, and according to NFL...

B/R doesn't see the Saints as a good home for second-chance quarterbacks

We’ve seen a rise of second chance quarterbacks recently. The most notable and recent example is Sam Darnold’s meteoric rise with the Minnesota Vikings this season. Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield fill out that list. These quarterbacks’ careers looked dead in the water before a revival in their current home.

Ironically, the New Orleans Saints attempted this approach with Jameis Winston, but injuries derailed that plan. The most popular candidates to try to pull this off this year are Daniel Jones and Justin Fields.

Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon believes if their hope is to be the next Sam...
