We've seen plenty of trades during the course of the first two days of the 2023 NFL Draft, so it was only right we started off the final day of the draft with a trade as well. Well actually, we started the day with THREE trades.

It started with the New Orleans Saints, as they traded with the Chicago Bears to move up to the first pick of the fourth round, according to ESPN. The Bears are giving up pick No. 103 for picks No. 115 and No. 165. The No. 165 overall pick is a fifth-rounder.

Not long after, the Las Vegas Raiders jumped to the second pick of the fourth round (No. 104) by trading their 109th and 174th picks to the Houston Texans for the right to move up, according to NFL Media. Las Vegas will also get back the 203rd pick.

We weren't done yet, as the Philadelphia Eagles swung a trade with the Texans, who were also sitting at No. 105, for a 2024 third-round pick, per NFL Media. Absolute madness.

To start off the day, the Saints took offensive lineman Nick Saldiveri out of Old Dominion. CBS Sports' pro comparison for him is Cole Strange, who was a surprise first-round pick last year. Saldiveri was a late-riser, and didn't allow a sack while playing right tackle in 2022. He's expected to move inside at the next level. ...

Raiders and Saints clash with eyes on their organizations' respective futures

NEW ORLEANS — The future is now for the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints.

Both enter Sunday’s meeting in the Superdome trying to make the best of a lost season by figuring out who they might like to keep -- and who needs to go.

The Raiders (3-12) were knocked out of playoff contention weeks ago while in the midst of a 10-game skid that finally ended last weekend. The Saints (5-10), however, remained alive — if only mathematically — until last Sunday, the day before their 34-0 loss at Green Bay.

“Naturally, it’s disappointing,” Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi said. “When the...

4 starters down on New Orleans Saints' Week 17 injury report

Four New Orleans Saints starters did not see the practice field on Thursday, with players having been given the day off Wednesday so they could spend Christmas with their families.

But multiple key starters aren’t trending in the right direction before Week 17’s Las Vegas Raiders game. Quarterback Derek Carr (left hand), running back Alvin Kamara (groin), center Erik McCoy (elbow), and left guard Lucas Patrick (knee) all missed practice.

Another group of four were limited participants, so they have at least a shot at playing this Sunday. That includes tight end Juwan Johnson (foot) and...

B/R has little faith Saints will bounce back from a disastrous season in 2025

There are 13 teams who have been eliminated from playoff contention. Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine ranked which teams are most likely to bounce back next season. How are the New Orleans Saints ranked?

The one separation Ballentine made when ranking these teams putting a fence between teams he views as multiyear reclamation projects versus the rest of the field. The good news is the Saints didn’t find themselves in this category, but they weren’t far away from it.

Ballentine ranked the Saints as the seventh-most likely team to bounce back in 2025, slotting in between the Jacksonville...

Saints listed as one of six teams in QB disarray entering offseason

Derek Carr was never going to be the quarterback of the future. He was supposed to elevate the New Orleans Saints in the immediate future, but he wasn’t the long-term answer. Unfortunately, Carr hasn’t elevated the Saints during his two years as the starter.

Around the NFL writer, Nick Shook, says it’s time to end the Derek Carr experiment. Shook doesn’t believe Carr should be the Saints starter next year. What about Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener? Have they shown enough to make Shook want to take a chance on them next year?

Nope.

Shook tagged New Orleans as one of six teams who doesn’t...

Darren Rizzi says Saints' starting offensive lineman likely done for the year

Erik McCoy went down with an elbow injury against the Green Bay Packers, and Monday night’s loss will likely be the last time we have seen him suit up in 2024. Week 16 was the third time the New Orleans Saints center had to leave a contest due to injury.

Darren Rizzi was straightforward about McCoy’s outlook: “I don’t see Erik coming back right now.”

McCoy originally injured his groin in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. That was the beginning of the most injury riddled season of his career.

In his first game back from a seven game absence, McCoy had to leave again with a groin...
