Pauline notes that the “big turnout” from Washington included executive VP Marty Hurney and several other staffers.

The price they paid – both in terms of the draft capital sent to Indianapolis and the fact that they picked up his full salary – signalled a strong commitment to the former No. 2 pick, who is under contract for three more years.

The Saints, meanwhile, had college scouting director Jeff Ireland on hand to see the former Tar Heel in person. After being in the competition for Deshaun Watson, New Orleans re-signed Jameis Winston on a two-year deal. Not long after, they also added a veteran backup in Andy Dalton. ...

The New Orleans Saints head coach search has entered a state of limbo. They don’t have a new coach under contract, but they clearly have a top target. They can’t talk to him, but Kellen Moore and the Philadelphia Eagles will be practicing at their Metairie facility this week. They aren’t allowed to speak with Moore until after Super Bowl LIX, which will be played at the Caesars Superdome. And they’ve told other coach candidates they won’t be making a decision until after the Super Bowl. Conveniently, that’s when Moore will be cleared to contact the team.

It’s kind of an awkward place to...

It’ll be a new-look New Orleans Saints coaching staff in 2025. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Nick Harris reports that the Dallas Cowboys are hiring running backs Derrick Foster away from the Saints’ staff, where he held the same position in 2024. Before that, Foster spent three years coaching the Los Angeles Chargers in the same capacity.

His time with the Chargers overlapped with Kellen Moore’s, so it’s a little surprising to see Foster moving on so soon. Moore is the favorite to be hired as head coach after the Philadelphia Eagles compete in Super Bowl LIX. If Foster was a candidate to...
