The New Orleans Saints have been managing to fill out their staff under Kellen Moore ever since his hiring, but the key three roles at each coordinator spot have been left open until now. The first coordinator spot has been filled, and it is a somewhat expected choice, with assistant special teams coach Phil Galiano being promoted to special teams coordinator, as was reported by The MMQB’s Albert Breer.

Galiano has been with the Saints since 2019 in his previous role, and after the firing of Dennis Allen and promotion of Darren Rizzi, he and Marwan Maalouf split some of the...

The New Orleans Saints continue to fill out Kellen Moore’s staff with intriguing assistants. The latest, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, is Ted Rath as the director of sports science.

Rath has held a number of roles in the NFL, mostly as a trainer and on the strength and conditioning staff. That’s where he overlapped with head coach Kellen Moore on the Detroit Lions for a few years; Moore was a backup quarterback at the time while Rath worked as an assistant strength and conditioning coach. He was out of football in 2024, but was most recently the Philadelphia Eagles director of sports...

The New Orleans Saints are finalizing a deal with Phil Galiano to make him the team's next special teams coordinator, a source with knowledge of the situation said.

The NFL is a small world, and it’s not too uncommon for players and coaches to have known each other before teaming up — but it’s unusual for a former teammate to be the one on your headset. That’s an experience several players reflected on when the New Orleans Saints announced Kellen Moore was becoming their new head coach.

Cornerback Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year who was drafted the same year Moore turned pro, said seeing the former Boise State quarterback being a head coach made him feel old.

That sentiment hit closer to home for Darius Slay, another...

The New Orleans Saints have seen quite a bit of change in the past few weeks.

The last remnants of the Sean Payton era have left the building, and it feels as though the Saints are finally entering a new beginning.

So, it would be fitting that a new addition to the uniform may be on the way this fall.

The NFL altered the uniform rules in 2024 allowing all teams to have a 3rd helmet. We’ve seen quite a few varieties for teams with two helmets over the years, the most often used of those being a throwback uniform. The Saints have used those in the past, and most recently have adopted a...

Kellen Moore has a lot of work to do in getting the New Orleans Saints back to contention in the NFC, and some commentators think that task is going to prove too much for him. Just ask Colin Cowherd. During an appearance on his “The Herd” sports talk show, Cowherd made it clear he doesn’t have high expectations for Moore in New Orleans.

“Eh, he’ll be fine. They don’t have any cap room. They’ve got a lot of issues. I think that’s gonna be, for the next couple years, a dead franchise,” Cowherd shrugged.

When asked if Moore could have a winning record by Year 4, he rejected that notion: “Oh...

The hot take artists are out in force, and Skip Bayless didn’t waste much time before tearing into the New Orleans Saints for their decision to hire Kellen Moore as the team’s next head coach. The septuagenarian sports talk show personality is unimpressed by this move, to say the least.

“Are you kidding me? Kellen Moore? Yeah, he can call plays. But he has zero charisma. Nice guy but zero personality,” Bayless said, suggesting Moore looked like more of an IT specialist than a football coach. “You don’t see many sideline shots of Kellen Moore calling plays because he’s so uninteresting...

The NFL’s franchise tag window opened this week and teams have some time to consider what to do about their most important free agents. For the New Orleans Saints, that list is pretty thin — just three players appear likely to get multi-year deals on the free agent market. Would the franchise tag be an option for retaining any of them? Probably not, given the team’s tight salary cap situation, but you never know. They were in similar circumstances a few years back and still found room to use the tag on safety Marcus Williams (only to lose him a year later).

But what about the transition tag? It’s a slightly cheaper alternative but doesn’t guarantee compensation for the Saints if another team signs the player to an extension; if they use the franchise tag on someone and don’t match an offer, they’ll get multiple first round draft picks back. So it’s riskier if you’re worried about losing the player.

The NFL has announced it will return to play a regular season game in Brazil in 2025, following the success of their inaugural game in 2024.

As part of the 2025 International Games, the Los Angeles Chargers will play as the designated team in São Paulo at Corinthians Arena on Friday, September 5, 2025.

The stadium was an official venue for both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, as well as home to the NFL’s historic first-ever regular season game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers on Friday, September 6, 2024.

Joe Burrow’s case for Most Valuable Player was one of the most controversial subjects toward the end of the 2024 season. That’s due to the fact that some saw his chances for winning the award as purely squandered simply because of the fact the Cincinnati Bengals weren’t in the playoffs. And it’s a situation that legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is all too familiar with.

Burrow has put up astronomical numbers that were among the best in the NFL, and despite not having the best protection up front and a supporting cast that was not exactly up to par, he still managed to...

The New Orleans Saints' head coach Kellen Moore is hard at work assembling his new coaching staff.

In case you don't know his background, let's get you familiar with the new HC of the Black and Gold.

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore has been actively assembling his coaching staff since his hire.

Since then, the Saints have added Scott Tolzien, 37, as quarterbacks coach, Philadelphia Eagles run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti, 35, whose new role is currently unknown, Chase Haslett, 32, as their tight ends coach, and Brendan Nugent, 41, as offensive line coach. With former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, 42, being the favorite at defensive coordinator, it is clear the Saints are looking to assemble a youthful coaching staff.

While New Orleans is adding youth...

The 2024 season is complete, and now teams are somewhat waiting around until free agency begins for 2025, and then the NFL Draft which follows shortly after. This gives us the opportunity to look back at the 2024 offseason for the New Orleans Saints and analyze the signings they made throughout the free agency period which led to their 2024 roster.

One of those signings was wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr., so let’s take a look at his new contract, 2024 season, and grade the move:

Wilson was the only multi-year contract the Saints handed out during the 2024 offseason, signing a two-year...
