With the 2018 season over, it is time to start looking into what the New Orleans Saints need to upgrade their football team in 2019.

Who knows what happens with free agents like halfback Mark Ingram, back-up quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, defensive tackle Tyeler Davison, nickel-cornerback P.J. Williams and defensive end Alex Okafor, but on the surface, the biggest areas to upgrade would be at tight end, wide receiver, cornerback and safety.

But I believe the biggest spot to spend money will be at defensive tackle.

In the Mickey Loomis/Sean Payton era in New Orleans, the team has tried to address obvious needs in veteran free agency and that gives them some room to go after the top player on the board come draft days in April. ...

For much of this New Orleans Saints season, running back Alvin Kamara was doing what he normally does by being a shining beacon through a disappointing campaign.

Kamara has been dealing with a groin injury for the past couple of weeks, though, not playing since partway through the matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 15.

The star running back doesn’t have much to play for, except for being on the verge of his first 1,000-yard season. Still, there have been rumors about his return, starting with the Week 17 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Much like the rest of the New Orleans Saints, wide receiver Chris Olave has had a year to forget. Olave had flashes of being his regular productive self when healthy, but multiple additional head injuries have kept him on the side line for over half the season.

Saints head coach Darren Rizzi finally shared that he returned to practice recently, the first major positive momentum since his last injury. That started to build speculation that he would play again this year, continuing into this matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The New Orleans Saints have had one of their worst seasons in recent memory, but the fans dedication to the team has left an impression on at least one player.

In replying to a highlight video of the first two weeks of the season, the wins over the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers, Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders had some nice words for fans of the team.

Saunders was a signing in the 2023 NFL offseason when he inked a three-year, $14.5 million contract. He spent the first four years of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he won a couple of Super Bowl rings, but it’s...

The Las Vegas Raiders will be a bit delayed in arriving for their matchup with the New Orleans Saints ahead of Sunday’s game.

Upon their scheduled departure which was originally Saturday morning, there were mechanical issues discovered which prompt them to swap planes. Due to this, the team was set for takeoff at around 8:30 p.m. CT which would place their arrival time at about 11 p.m. or so.

Potentially a very long night for the Raiders.

Since this game is slotted in the early afternoon, players will likely not be getting much sleep ahead of their matchup which could ultimately have an...

Derek Carr has officially been ruled out of the New Orleans Saints matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Not being given the opportunity to get revenge on his former team was probably difficult for the quarterback.

Carr is still pushing to get back on the field. If you’re looking for optimism that he’ll achieve his goal, Carr was seen Friday without a brace on his hand.

Obviously, this development won’t allow him to play this Sunday, but it is a sign of progress. Darren Rizzi has maintained it’s all about functionality and not pain tolerance. Going from being in a brace to without a...
