Haynes is a versatile prospect, starting four years at Wake Forest initially at right tackle, then mostly right guard; he moved to left guard when the team had to shuffle other players around. In the NFL, right guard is probably his best fit.

The New Orleans Saints now have a Super Bowl winner as their head coach, with the former offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles Kellen Moore joining up to take a crack at it once again from a new perspective.

The New Orleans Saints are heading into 2025 NFL free agency with at least 19 players set to be free agents, which is quite a substantial list to say the least. This group includes multiple quality contributors, and one of the most notable players would be the Saints’ third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Paulson Adebo.

Retaining Adebo may be a worthy investment for the team, and despite the major leg injury which ended his 2024 season, his recovery has seemed swift throughout the offseason so far. ESPN analyst Matt Bowen also believes Adebo should return, as in a recent article...

One commonality on Kellen Moore’s coaching staff has been familiarity. You saw that with his connection to most of the coaches he hired on the offensive side of the ball.

The Los Angeles Rams have given Matthew Stafford’s agent permission to speak with other teams, which may open the door for him to be traded. The New Orleans Saints don’t have the current supporting cast to make this move make sense, so they shouldn’t be expected to be involved in trade discussions for Stafford.

The news however does impact Saints quarterback Derek Carr. His future in New Orleans remains uncertain, and Kellen Moore didn’t provide any clarification on the matter in his introductory press conference.

Last week, the New Orleans Saints hired Brandon Staley as their next defensive coordinator and now the team can focus on filling out the rest of the defensive staff before the NFL Combine. Today, per Tom Pelissero, the Saints have hired Texas assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator Terry Joseph to become their next defensive pass game coordinator.

Joseph has coached since 1999 and wherever he has gone, the defensive back group has success. The Saints have talent in their DB room, and Joseph could be the perfect hire to develop some of these younger players.

The New Orleans Saints will need to stretch their limited money a long ways this offseason, which means they will likely be bargain hunting in free agency.

Anthony Palacios of Last Word on Sports recently listed the Saints as one of the top five landing spots for ex-New England Patriots linebacker Sione Takitaki. Takitaki makes sense as an option given that he will be cheap, but isn’t necessarily a needle-mover on defensive side of the ball.

The 29-year-old was a third round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns back in 2019. He spent his first five seasons there before signing a two-year...
