Both the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints head into the 2023 season with new quarterbacks under center.

After releasing Carr in the offseason, the Raiders went out and signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year deal. On the flip side, Carr was able to land a lucrative four-year, $150 million deal with the Saints.

It was a sad end to Carr’s tenure with Las Vegas, but he lands in a great situation with New Orleans. Despite not having played a game yet for the Saints, Carr has already drawn support from legends like Drew Brees via Adam Hill of Las Vegas Review-Journal:

“I think it’s a great move for him and the organization,” Drew Brees said of the recent signing of former Raiders star Derek Carr. “I’ve always had a lot of respect for him and always felt he was a fairly underrated player that probably didn’t get the respect he deserved.”

Joe Brady dropping out will leave a stench on head coach announcement

Joe Brady may not have been the candidate the New Orleans Saints landed on, but it’ll be extremely difficult to wipe away the impact of Brady stepping out of the Saints’ head coaching race. This isn’t about who the best coach will be, because that won’t be decided for a long time. It’s about the view of the Saints hiring process.

New Orleans appears to be aggressively recruiting Kellen Moore. It’s the first candidate you can say that about since Aaron Glenn.

If Moore wins a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, you can sell the Saints picking a Super Bowl winning coordinator. It could...

Should the Saints pick up Trevor Penning’s fifth-year option?

The 2025 New Orleans Saints offseason will be filled with some difficult decisions that affect the team's long-term future. Much of the focus will be on the next head coach and which player’s contracts get restructured, but it may be time to start looking at the fifth-year options of two players. The Saints’ 2022 first-round picks, Chris Olave and Trevor Penning, can now have their fifth-year options picked up, and the deadline is May 1. Yes, this is almost three months away, so the Saints have time to decide, but this future decision will impact their 2025 draft plan. I expect the Saints...

The New Orleans Saints have quite a few pending free agents, but maybe none more important than defensive end Chase Young. In the recent installation of the top 100 free agents put out by ProFootballNetwork, they ranked every 2025 pending free agent.

On this list were three Saints players, and Chase Young was the first of the bunch, coming in at No. 24 in the rankings. Their evaluation of him was as follows:

Young also ranks in third among edge rushers on this list, behind only Josh Sweat and Khalil Mack who are first and second respectively. He is being viewed very highly in this free...

Tyrann Mathieu salary: How much money did Saints FS make this season?

While a lot of the conversation around the New Orleans Saints is focused on the future, there are a handful of veterans that will still be around and won’t be content with tanking.

One such player is veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu, who just wrapped up his third season with the Saints and 12th in the NFL. He may not be the ‘honey badger’ anymore, but he was still one of the few players on the defense that was a true playmaker last season.

Mathieu finished the year with 62 tackles, one of which went for a loss. He was tied for the team lead in interceptions with three. In all three...

New Orleans could be the site where Super Bowl history is made

The “three-peat”. An elusive statistic where a team is able to complete three championship victories back to back in their respective sport. This is something that does not happen every day, and even the long-time dynasty New England Patriots were unable to complete this task. In the NFL, it has never happened before, and this is the only sport of the “Big Four” in North America to not have a team ever three-peat.

The last North American sports league to have this feat accomplished was the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers, who completed it with their 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons. Next up...

Saints given different rookie tackle in 2024 first round re-draft

The New Orleans Saints had some success with their first round pick Taliese Fuaga last season, but would they still go with him if given another chance today?

That’s the hypothetical that Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport looked at in his recent re-do of the 2024 NFL draft. For the Saints, they now decided to go with Olu Fashanu out of the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Here is what Davenport had to say about the pick:

Fashanu was originally off the board, but the New York Jets now selected J.J. McCarthy this time around. While Fashanu was certainly a more highly-touted prospect than Fuaga at...

The New Orleans Saints are nearing the offseason as the Super Bowl is the only playoff game left to be played and a head coach search reaching its end. With that behind them they will have the chance to work on signing free agents where possible, fixing the cap even further, and trying to retain some of their key contributors. With 19 unrestricted free agents this offseason, they have some decisions to make on who to keep and who to let walk this year, especially if they want to start pursuing other players instead.

We have the chance to talk about one such pending free agent: linebacker...

The New Orleans Saints have a lot of decisions to make this offseason especially when it comes to their roster. Fortunately, it is never too early to start to look at the future especially with this week’s Senior Bowl and the upcoming NFL Draft.

Ove the next few months, the Saints will be taking a hard look at their roster and what positions are most in need of an upgrade, as well as reevaluating some players who are under contract and underperformed and those who are upcoming free agents looking to be re-signed.

That being said, we what to hear from you. What position do you think is...

The New Orleans Saints may be losing another component of their 2024 coaching staff, as quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko was given permission to interview with the Seattle Seahawks. This comes shortly after Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak joined the Seahawks in a lateral move, and Janocko may look to follow him there.

Katherine Terrell of ESPN also reported that, “The Saints would like to keep Janocko, but as they close in on a head coach, they have been letting more coaches interview and leave for lateral positions. Some position coaches were waiting to see if Darren Rizzi...

Saints coaching search hints at Kellen Moore's potential hire

NEW ORLEANS — Here's my take on where the Saints coaching search stands.

The fact that the Saints didn't hire a head coach on Wednesday greatly increases the chances that Kellen Moore will be the team's next head coach.

Because if they were going to hire any of the other three candidates, they could have done it on Wednesday. The Saints cannot officially hire Kellen Moore until after the Super Bowl.

They've finished their in-person interviews with Mike Kafka, Anthony Weaver, and Darren Rizzi. There's no reason to wait if you want to hire any of them.

The only reason to wait is if you...

Former Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is headed back to New Orleans, where he’ll work as a FOX Sports digital correspondent, per Front Office Sports. Winston will be sharing videos highlighting his “favorite dining and entertainment hotspots” in the city throughout the week before Super Bowl LIX.

Winston spent nearly as many years with the Saints (4) as he did with the team that drafted him, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5), though much of his time in New Orleans was spent as a backup. Winston started 10 of the 21 games he appeared in, and clearly made plenty of good memories as a part of...
