New Orleans brings back another one of their own free agents by re-signing WR Tre'Quan Smith.

By Bob Rose - SI

The New Orleans Saints are re-signing WR Tre'Quan Smith, according to Field Yates of ESPN. It's a two-year contract worth a base value of $6M and incentives that could escalate to $10M dollars.

The 26-year-old Smith had visited the Falcons last week, but had otherwise received little interest on the free-agent market.

Smith was a third-round pick out of Central Florida by the Saints in the 2018 NFL Draft. He showed promise during his rookie campaign, finishing with 28 catches for 428 yards and 5 touchdowns in 15 games.

Smith's best two outings of 2018 were 3 receptions for 111 yards and 2 scores against Washington and a career-high 10 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown against Philadelphia. ...

Cameron Jordan won't go looking for a trade: 'I'm black and gold forever'

Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, but don’t expect Cameron Jordan to follow suit. Garrett and Jordan are at two different points of their careers, but Kay Adams told the New Orleans Saints defensive end he was the first person Adams thought about when she heard the news.

Jordan questioned why, but didn’t let her answer before affirming: “I’m not asking for a trade from anywhere. I’m black and gold forever.”

This is a common sentiment from Jordan, so it may not seem out of the ordinary. However, he did consider forcing his way out during the regular season, so...

The 2025 NFL draft hats have been revealed, and Fantasy Life senior analyst Kendall Valenzuela has shared photos of many of them on social media. The New Orleans Saints hat (seen above) has the same embroidery as the other sets of caps, however, this year each team receives a custom pin tying into their city, culture, or team. The Saints pin is an iconic second line umbrella, which you’ll see in jazz funeral processions and Mardi Gras celebrations.

For the rest of the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers have a full-body panther pin, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a pirate skull, and the...

Reggie Bush reflects on how Drew Brees changed his career forever

The New Orleans Saints have been lucky to have some exceptional talents walk through their doors, and two of the most notable ones from their Super Bowl victory were Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. Brees was a once in a generation type player for a franchise, and Bush was an exceptional offensive talent to counterbalance the offense and give it great versatility.

However, the Saints almost did not get Bush, with the Houston Texans holding the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, they had the opportunity to take him, and both sides met an enormous amount leading up to that day...

2024 Saints free agent report cards: Was Willie Gay a good signing?

The NFL is nearing its offseason once again, and with that, teams will be vying for the top free agents on the market once again. With a somewhat underwhelming 2024 offseason for the New Orleans Saints, they only made a few signings that could have been viewed as true impact players.

One of the more notable signings they made at the time was linebacker Willie Gay Jr. who was set to compete with Pete Werner for the second LB spot. Ultimately this signing became less notable than anticipated, so let’s get into why that was the case:

Gay Jr’s contract was relatively simple in terms of...

Jahri Evans must wait another year for the Pro Football Hall of Fame to get it right

This is a shame: New Orleans Saints legend and Super Bowl XLIV champion Jahri Evans was not selected for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Evans, the longtime right guard for the Saints and their current assistant offensive line coach, will have to wait another year for the voters to get it right.

Evans wasn’t part of the Hall of Fame’s four-man Class of 2025, its smallest since 2005. Neither were New Orleans locals Eli Manning and Reggie Wayne. Those to be inducted are Sterling Sharpe, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates, and Eric Allen, the Pro Bowl cornerback who spent three years...

Another former New Orleans Saints player will be inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. This year it was cornerback Eric Allen, who despite not being the longtime Saint in the class (as opposed to Jahri Evans), was a notable member of the team nonetheless. Allen was a member of the team from 1995 to 1997, where he would receive his sixth and last Pro Bowl nod in his first year with the team.

Allen was an exceptional defensive back who had a legendary career across the three teams he played for, accruing 54 career interceptions, 787 total tackles, and a...

The New Orleans Saints are truly clearing house from their 2024 coaching staff, as has been evident by many of their coaches leaving for new positions in recent weeks. With a new head coach coming in (Kellen Moore or otherwise), the Saints will look to build from the ground up, restarting from scratch. The most recent coach to leave is defensive coordinator Joe Woods, who is joining the Las Vegas Raiders, as reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Woods will be joining them with a lower-scale role, as he will be the defensive pass-game coordinator on Pete Carroll’s new staff. Woods had a tough...

Jahri Evans has gotten one step closer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame every year he’s been eligible. The longtime New Orleans Saints right guard and Super Bowl XLIV champion has progressed from the semifinalist stage in 2023, his first year of eligibility, to the finalist level in 2024, his second. Will he finally get the call he’s been waiting for in Year 3?

There’s obviously support for Evans among voters. It helps that he was inducted to the Saints’ Ring of Honor this season, an exclusive group formed by several all-time greats already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Rickey...

Saints have a hazardous road to salary cap compliance without Derek Carr

Take a look around any New Orleans Saints fan page on social media and you’ll find some criticism of Derek Carr. Whether it’s his level of play, his attitude and demeanor, or his ill-advised comments to the media, a lot of people have a bone to pick with him. It doesn’t help that Carr’s contract adds another big point of contention.

There’s some misinformation (or poorly-explained information) going around out there, about how much money the Saints could save by cutting Carr. So let’s take a look into what the team is paying him in 2025, what they could save by getting out of this contract, and whether it makes as much sense as his critics insist.
