With now 84 days left until the New Orleans Saints’ regular season opener against the Carolina Panthers, we continue our countdown of players with the corresponding jersey number. Today’s player is undrafted free agent wide receiver Mason Tipton.

The history behind No. 84 brings some notable names to mind especially at the wide receiver position. The most glorified Saint to ever where the number is none other than LSU’s product Eric Martin, who is currently second in team history in career receptions and yards. Other notable players to wear this number are wide receiver Kenny Stills and...

ESPN ranks all 32 teams (including the Saints) by their cornerbacks

You’d be hard-pressed to find a team leaning harder on their cornerbacks than the New Orleans Saints are this year. They’ve stacked strength on strength by drafting Kool-Aid McKinstry and mending fences with Marshon Lattimore, all while returning Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor from last season’s team. That’s a lot of talent to fit into one secondary but Dennis Allen’s defense is known for finding ways to get multiple defensive backs on the field at once.

But how do they compare to other teams around the league? Are the Saints unique in stockpiling so many corners? Here’s where they fell in the cornerback rankings from

It’s always exciting to see an undrafted rookie drawing attention in the spring, and Dallin Holker has earned it. The former Colorado State tight end signed with the New Orleans Saints after the 2024 draft and has already begun making plays at spring practices.

But what are reasonable expectations for him in his rookie year? We’ll seek to answer that while highlighting Holker as our Saints Player of the Day while counting down to kickoff with the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, which is 85 days away. So let’s get to know Holker a little better:

Demario Davis, Pete Werner, and Willie Gay are a formidable trio, and the New Orleans Saints invested a lot to get better play out of their linebackers this offseason. In addition to signing Gay as competition for Werner, they brought in free agents like Khaleke Hudson plus rookies including Jaylan Ford (a fifth-round draft pick) and Isaiah Stalbird (whose contract ranked high in guarantees for undrafted players). That’s with backups returning from last year’s team such as D’Marco Jackson, Anfernee Orji, and Monty Rice. Nephi Sewell is the best of the bunch but he’s recovering from a late-season knee injury.

So where does ESPN rank the Saints’ linebacker corps among all 32 teams?

In this week’s poll, we asked readers which offseason storyline for the New Orleans Saints most interests you now that minicamp has started:

In a close race, the health of certain players such as tackle Ryan Ramczyk and defensive end Chase Young won with 37.4% of the vote. Ramczyk is arguably the best RT in the NFL when healthy, but has had major issues with his knee this offseason that might cause him to miss time during the regular season. Chase Young has struggled with injuries his entire career, and this offseason has been hit with a neck injury that has kept him out of the first days...

The New Orleans Saints gave Derek Carr a big bag in 2023, but how does his contract compare to others around the league? With more and more young passers inking long-term extensions, Carr’s number keeps falling down as the market evolves. Still, it’s tough to minimize Carr’s $150 million deal (which came with $100 million in total guarantees, $60 million of which were guaranteed at signing).

The New Orleans Saints announced Friday they had signed tight end Jesper Horsted, waiving undrafted rookie wide receiver Kyle Sheets to make room. Formerly of the Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bears, Horsted was brought in to reinforce the depth chart after an injury to starting tight end Juwan Johnson.

Horsted has mostly played special teams after turning pro out of Princeton, though he has caught 14 passes for 131 yards and three touchdowns in his four-year NFL career. He has also made ten tackles in the kicking game. He’s someone they know well. Horsted was teammates with Derek Carr on...

Updated Saints 53-man roster predictions after OTAs, minicamp

We’re heading off into the desert after the New Orleans Saints wrapped up their mandatory minicamp this week; there won’t be much activity in the weeks ahead until training camp begins on July 24. So what have we learned at organized team activities and minicamp? How has the work on the field influenced our roster projection?

Between injury updates (some news positive, some negative) and performance at practice, it’s a good time to revise our predictions to guess at who makes the cut for the 53-man roster in August. And it isn’t easy. The Saints have stacked up talent at some position groups while others are still looking thin, so maybe they’ll bring in some new faces over the summer. For now, here’s how we see it shaking out:

Derek Carr is very happy with the way the Ssints’ new offensive scheme has worked to this point. It was all over his face during the presser on Thursday.

The Swiss Army knife for the Saints has a new contract to go along with his new roles.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Chase Young has received a positive report from neck specialist Dr. Robert Watkins during a check-up this week, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Young has plans to participate the Saints start training camp next month.

When New Orleans signed Young, they were aware of his injuries but decided to bet on the young player’s upside after he recorded 7.5 sacks in 2023. Young signed a one-year deal worth $13M fully guaranteed.

The Saints and Young are both hopeful he can participate in training camp and be ready for Week 1 versus the Carolina Panthers.
