The New Orleans Saints and Ryan Ramczyk have completed a contract restructure that seemingly moves the right tackle one step closer to retirement.

The New Orleans Saints and Aaron Glenn have been connected since New Orleans moved on from Dennis Allen in the middle of the season. Now that the regular season is over, that process has gotten a bit murkier.

Darren Rizzi got his chance to make his case as the interim head coach. Even if given the benefit of the doubt for working with a limited cast of players, it’s hard to make an argument he did enough to pass Glenn as the Saints’ favorite.

The murkiness comes into play when you look at what’s in front of Glenn after the Detroit Lions finish their season. When conversations around...

The New Orleans Saints have started interview coaches.

Klint Kubiak is still under contract with the New Orleans Saints next season.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has 50 receptions for 652 yards and seven touchdown receptions in seven career postseason games, including 33 receptions and 478 yards during the Rams Super Bowl LVI championship run, the most receptions and second-most receiving yards by a player in a single postseason all-time.

Here’s another name for the New Orleans Saints head coach search: Kliff Kingsbury, per NFL insider Josina Anderson. The Washington Commanders offensive coordinator and former Arizona Cardinals head coach has shown a knack for developing talented quarterbacks, but a lack of team success has led to some thought that he’s best suited as a coordinator, not a top-level decisionmaker.

However, The Times-Picayune | Advocate’s Matthew Paras (a former Commanders beat writer) says the Saints “have to make a request to speak with him at this time.” That would make Kingsbury the third head coach...

A new report linked New Orleans Saints coach Klint Kubiak to the Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator search, with The MMQB’s Albert Breer suggesting Kubiak is a candidate “to keep an eye on” with Cleveland gearing up to find Ken Dorsey’s replacement.

We can’t rule out a lateral move with a new head coach coming in. The Saints would probably like to keep Kubiak on staff after he modernized the offense Pete Carmichael carried over from Sean Payton, but whoever they hire to replace Dennis Allen may not feel the same way. If their new head coach — whoever they may be — has a new vision for...

Last offseason, New Orleans Saints star right tackle Ryan Ramczyk underwent knee surgery in hopes of returning for the 2024/25 season. Due to the severity of the injury and Ramczyk’s age, the Saints elected to rule the veteran lineman out for the season. This was the first sign that Ryan Ramczyk’s days in the NFL were numbered, and with pictures of his massive weight loss circulating throughout the season, it became expected that Ramczyk would retire after this season. Today, the Saints started their yearly offseason cap gymnastics by restructuring Ramczyk’s contract and freeing $16.7...

Aaron Glenn and Joe Brady are the favorites, but who makes the most sense? Can they help this franchise become relevant again? How long will it take?

The NFL announced today that renowned New Orleans artist Tahj 'Queen Tahj' Williams will be the first ever to handcraft both the Super Bowl logo and theme art for Super Bowl LIX. Following her debut as the first artist to create a Super Bowl logo, the NFL has unveiled Queen Tahj’s Super Bowl LIX theme art.

The New Orleans Saints have officially closed out their 2024 season, finishing with a 5-12 record. While their season may be over, there is still plenty of work to be done starting with the biggest task: hiring a new head coach.

Over a half a dozen names have already been attached to the team (like Aaron Glenn and Joe Brady) and some interviews have already been set for this week, but this will not be a decision that is made quickly. The Saints have a lot of talent on the team but they have now missed the playoffs for 4 straight seasons so we know they will do their due diligence in...

Derek Carr recently told ESPN’s Katherine Terrell wasn’t willing to play ball with the New Orleans Saints by taking a pay cut, and that is fine. Players are owed the guaranteed money in their contracts. It’s his rationale that is the issue.

Carr said he doesn’t feel he should take a pay cut, “Especially with what I put on tape,” referring to his level of play this year and last.

That statement comes off extremely full of himself and delusional. This isn’t to call him a terrible quarterback, but that’s a statement that should be reserved for a few elite players at a position. He’s not one...

It’s a shame Ryan Ramczyk’s career ended this way. The New Orleans Saints’ former All-Pro right tackle effectively signed his retirement papers this week, having missed the entire 2024 season with a chronic knee injury. This was expected even if it’s unpleasant at best.

Per Over The Cap’s Jason Fitzgerald, Ramczyk agreed to waive his $18 million base salary for 2025 while reducing it to the league minimum, which saved the Saints a little more than $16.7 million against the salary cap. He’ll remain on the roster until June 2 with a cap hit of $12.3 million (instead of $29 million before...

Ryan Ramczyk agreed to cut his 2025 salary this week, which sets him up for retirement. But how does it set up the New Orleans Saints and the salary cap? Let’s break it down.

To start, Ramczyk agreed to waive his $18 million base salary for the 2025 season in exchange for the veteran’s minimum at $1,255,000. Because he’s being forced into a medical retirement, he isn’t getting that money either way, but doing it like this gives the Saints immediate savings of about $16.7 million.

That left Ramczyk with a $12.3 million cap hit, and it puts the Saints at roughly $326 million in cap...
