Highlights

I wish I could say that my first in-person New Orleans Saints game was a win, but that is not what occurred. For Thanksgiving in 2012, my mom and I decided to go to New Orleans for the first time. As a Saints fan, it was also the perfect opportunity to see my favorite team. I was so excited to finally be in the Superdome for the first time, and it was an experience I will never forget.

I knew going into the game that the Saints did not have the greatest chance to win. The red-hot 49ers led by Colin Kaepernick, were visiting the Saints for this matchup. This 49ers team would end up making...

Recently, the NFL came out with their own Mount Rushmore for all 32 teams. Seeing this inspired me to make my own for the New Orleans Saints, which you’ll see below.


Drew Brees was an obvious choice for me. I’d say he is far and away the best player who has ever put on a helmet for the team. It seems that his impact was immediate after coming over from San Diego. For me, what’s most significant is that the vibe was different throughout the entire organization. It was just a much more hopeful environment than it was in years past.

Of course, the main reason he is here is because of the...

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller was listed as one of the six fantasy football sleepers to watch during training camp by Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay.

As the NFL season approaches, fantasy football will become a larger focal point. The second-year running back won’t find himself in the first half of your drafts. He could end up as a late-round steal depending on what he does during training camp.

Miller has the attributes to be successful in Klint Kubiak’s offense. In addition to his performance on the ground in the season finale rout of the Atlanta Falcons, Miller showcased...

Many people surrounding the New Orleans Saints are perplexed by the idea of moving training camp to Irvine California. Is it a smart move?

Let’s look at some players that are hoping for a big season in 2024.

The former first round pick has battled injuries since joining the Black and Gold, but can his body hold up in 2024 during a contract year?

There are 66 days left until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 regular season, and Jimmy Graham’s 66-yard touchdown catch is our Saints Play of the Day. Graham came through in a huge spot when the Saints needed it most, which you can view here.

The only problem with this play is that Graham scored too soon. Facing a 29-24 deficit against the San Francisco 49ers in the 2011 divisional round, Drew Brees took the snap out of the shotgun deep inside his own territory with 1:48 left in regulation. He threw a lob to Graham down the middle of the field with two 49ers defenders around...

We’ve got 66 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 regular season, which makes the current owner of the No. 66 jersey our Saints Player of the Day: Shane Lemieux.

The former New York Giants draft pick signed with the Saints this spring and entered a competition to start early on at OTAs. So what are realistic expectations for him in 2024? Let’s get to know him a little better.

Lemieux played left guard in college and for most of his career in the NFL, though he’s had a little experience at right guard and center. He started most of his rookie season at left guard...

There are 66 days left until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 regular season, and we’re counting down the days by highlighting every player to wear the day’s jersey number.

While the No. 66 jersey currently belongs to veteran offensive lineman Shane Lemieux, it’s previously been used by Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs and defensive tackle Brian Young. Young has worked for the Saints as a coach since hanging up his cleats after the 2008 season and remains the longest-tenured member of the coaching staff.

But they aren’t the only ones to throw it on. Here’s the full list

When a quarterback of the caliber of Kirk Cousins enters a division of the caliber of the NFC South, his new team is typically predicted to rise to the top of said division. Cousins signing with the Atlanta Falcons was no exception. Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton, however, had one question around the projection.

Will Kirk Cousins bounce back into Pro Bowl form?

Does Kirk Cousins take Atlanta over the top is the broad storyline many speak about, but Moton narrowed down and focused purely on Cousins’ health.

Cousins is coming off an Achilles injury in his mid-30’s, but he’s also never...

Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler broke down the 12 worst quarterback situations in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints found themselves in the bottom-10 and were joined on the list by divisional foes Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers.

The reason each team made the list and the tone around their quarterback situation is drastically different.

For New Orleans, there was no belief in Derek Carr. Unlike Bryce Young, who we’ll get to later, Carr doesn’t have youth and inexperience on his side to earn him the slightest benefit of the doubt.

Carr’s the sixth-oldest starter in the NFL, and Fowler...

It’s no secret that the New Orleans Saints haven’t been good enough as of late. Dennis Allen’s team missed the playoffs in each of his first two years as their head coach, even after they invested $150 million in his quarterback, plus sweeping coaching changes and a slew of draft picks. So how can they improve and get where they want to go, ending that playoff drought?

Some individuals need to step up. Between former first-round draft picks who haven’t met expectations and, yes, Derek Carr, some players need to aim higher in 2024. We highlighted eight players who must take the next step and help the team. Some of them have already flashed greatness, but carry obvious flaws that need fixing. If even some of the names on our list make improvement, it’ll be a good year. If all eight of them hit higher standards it’ll be special.

When the news came out that the New Orleans Saints will be moving their training camp to California, it was met with some disappointment and confusion. The biggest reason behind pushback over this decision was that it looks like Saints fans will not be able to attend practices at camp this year. Usually, there is sold-out attendance during training camp, but that changes with this move. This decision added confusion and raised the question, why did the Saints do it?

The decision of moving training camp is a big one, but there are important reasons behind it. As you know, the Saints are...

The New Orleans Saints selected defensive end Payton Turner with the 28th overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Turner’s selection as a round-one pick shocked many as the 6’6” defensive end was a projected day-two pick.

In his three seasons with New Orleans, Turner has appeared in just 15 games, accumulating 3 sacks and 8 tackles for loss. In comparison, the Saints passed on defensive linemen Gregory Rousseau, drafted 30th overall by the Buffalo Bills, who has 17 sacks and 30 tackles for loss, and Odafe Oweh, drafted 31st overall by the Baltimore Ravens, who has 13 sacks and 16 tackles for...

Pro Football Focus has ranked the New Orleans Saints as the worst offensive line in the National Football League.

With Trevor Penning looking at a make or break season, can the Saints trust him to stay healthy at the right tackle position?

If the former All-Pro can return to playing at a high level, the entire defensive group will benefit from his play.

There are only 67 days left on the calendar until the New Orleans Saints open up their 2024 regular season, which makes this highlight our Saints Play of the Day. Robert Meachem and Drew Brees connected on a 67-yard touchdown pass against the Detroit Lions back in 2011 that you could still put against any scoring play in today’s game.

The Saints were red-hot. They had beaten the New York Giants (eventual Super Bowl champions) 49-24 a week earlier on “Monday Night Football” and then were tasked with hosting the Lions on the following “Sunday Night Football” feature. New Orleans had won...
