Draft News

The Dallas Cowboys announced they hired Brian Schottenheimer as their head coach late Friday evening, meaning the New Orleans Saints are now the only team that remains looking for a head coach. They ended up playing the long game, and chose to wait out the other teams to get their choice of the remaining candidates. While this is a decision that could go either way, many of the candidates they did interview still remain which is a somewhat good sign.

The other six teams and their head coaching hires are as follows:

One positive is Liam Coen moving on from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as...

Anthony Weaver, the Miami Dolphins' defensive coordinator, was interviewed in person by the New Orleans Saints on Friday. This was the Saints first in-person interview of the head coaching cycle.

Weaver, 44, has only been with the Dolphins for one year; however, he has a total of 13 years of NFL coaching experience. He also spent seven seasons in the NFL as a defensive end (four in Baltimore and three in Houston).

Players describe Weaver as a passionate coach who cares for his players.

“You wanna go out and play for him; you wanna go out there and play well and perform and do the things...

The New Orleans Saints have gotten past the snowy weather and are back to interviewing some head coach candidates announced they have completed their second interview with Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

Weaver has been a growing name in the coaching cycle for the last couple of years and will almost certainly get a job at some point in the near future. He does not look to be interviewing with the Dallas...

Cam Jordan loves to give back. So much so, the New Orleans Saints defensive end has been nominated for this year's Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

Odds have fluctuated greatly Thursday into Friday … What does that tell us? Larry Holder is here, as well as Gabe and UBN to predict Sunday’s conference title games.

The New Orleans Saints quarterback situation is all of a sudden up in the air with speculation on a Derek Carr trade starting to heat up. If that happens, the Saints would likely be in the market for a new veteran to guide their younger passers on the roster.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox recently suggested they avoid a reunion with a former quarterback, as they were named the worst landing spot for Andy Dalton this offseason. Here is what Knox had to say about his reasoning:

For reference, the best landing spot was with the Tennessee Titans. That is a spot that he could get a...

And then there were two.

The New Orleans Saints lost their top head coach candidate, Aaron Glenn, to the New York Jets, but they aren’t at risk of losing any others on their list. They’ll have their pick of Joe Brady, Mike McCarthy, Mike Kafka, Anthony Weaver and Darren Rizzi.

The dominos were expected to fall quickly after Glenn and Ben Johnson were free to sign, and that’s exactly what happened.

Johnson went to the Chicago Bears, and the offensive coaches started coming off the board. The Las Vegas Raiders are rolling with Pete Carroll, and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ wild coaching search is ending with Liam...

“Pigs have flown. Hell has frozen over. The Saints are on their way to the Super Bowl!”

Let’s look at a three-round mock draft for the New Orleans Saints heading into Conference Championships week.

Now that the Jacksonville Jaguars have hired Liam Coen, the Saints look to be a top option remaining in the coaching cycle.

After Winter Storm Enzo threw wrenches into the coaching search for the Black and Gold, New Orleans is trying to get back in the game.

Zack Baun and Trey Hendrickson making first-team All Pro was a great reminder of the talent the New Orleans Saints let walk out of the building. As if that wasn’t enough, both men are also finalists for Defensive Player of the Year.

In a season, where there wasn’t a defensive player, or players, who clearly stood over the rest of the pack, this award seems up in the air.

Baun winning the award feels like a long shot due to his position. He was great in his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles, but Luke Kuechly was the last linebacker to win this award over a decade ago.

Ironically...

One of the best times of football season has arrived - mock draft season! The idea of scouting and predicting which players a team will draft has always been one of my favorite parts of the season. During my 2024 mock draft 1.0, I stated how in love I was with Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga, and the rookie tackle was later selected by the New Orleans Saints and performed greatly. So maybe, just maybe, we can go two for two on first-round predictions.

For my mock drafts, I use multiple mock draft simulators to help simulate how other teams may draft on the big night. These simulators are...

Derek Carr is not the quarterback of the future for the New Orleans Saints. He was brought in by Dennis Allen to help elevate the Saints. That didn’t happen and it would be far from surprising to see the Saints move on from Carr soon. ESPN’s Giants beat reporter Jordan Raanan wouldn’t rule out a divorce this offseason.

Raanan sees the New York Giants as a team that should inquire about Carr due to an obvious need an unfavorable draft position. Typically the third overall pick would be great, but the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns could pick Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders first and...

Throughout the coaching cycle, Liam Coen was one of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ top choices for head coach. Yesterday, after their second meeting, it was announced that the Coen would return to Tampa Bay and become the highest-paid coordinator in the league. Many people believed that Jacksonville would miss out on their top targets due to general manager Trent Baalke still being in charge. This was the main reason why Coen was headed back to Tampa Bay. After the news of Coen’s return broke, the Jaguars announced they would be moving on from GM Trent Baalke. This caused a shift, and now, per...
