Depending on who you ask about New Orleans Saints wide receiver, you may get a different answer. Some see him as a player who is destined to be a star, but others need to see more to believe. That division is why Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon called Olave the ninth most polarizing player in the NFL.

Gagnon looked at three sections for each player on the list: upside, downside, and key questions entering the year. You want the good news or the bad news first? Bad news? Ok.

Gagnon saw Olave’s drop in yards per target as concerning. Derek Carr as Olave’s quarterback didn’t result in the...

Around the NFL writer Nick Shook ranked the NFC South as the worst division in football. The New Orleans Saints have spent the last few years performing below their standards, and the same can be said about the entire division over the same time period.

Shook described the NFC South as, “a division that was once known for its parity and is now stuck in a lower-grade version of it.” That’s a perfect description of the divisional transformation.

In 2017, the NFC South put three teams into the playoffs. This was before the addition of an extra wild card team when a division could only have...

The NFL season is officially less than a week away, which means it’s prime time to have your fantasy football draft. In the fantasy football spirit, the New Orleans Saints social media asked Saints players which of their teammates they’d draft first.

Derek Carr played it safe and said he’d pick any of his weapons. Wouldn’t want to show any favoritism, would you? Other players didn’t have to worry about that.

The most popular selections were Alvin Kamara and Rashid Shaheed with two votes. Though Shaheed cheated by selecting himself, we’ll count it today. Shaheed’s running mate Chris Olave...

The New Orleans Saints and Houston Texans couldn’t have more different wide receiver rooms. For this reason, Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay called for the Saints to trade for John Metchie III.

Beyond Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, the wide receiver position becomes questionable. There are two known commodities that make you feel comfortable, but there’s no one else with a solidified position.

From Kay:

The Texans suddenly were loaded with receiving talent last year then they added Stefon Diggs over the offseason. Nico Collins just had a career year, and Tank Dell is looking to build off...

Our countdown to the start of the New Orleans Saints’ 2024 season continues with Day 8. It just so happens to be that only one player has ever had the privilege of wearing this number, and that player is Archie Manning.

The father of Eli and Peyton Manning attended Ole Miss where he was a two-time first-team All-SEC player as well as a third-team All-American in 1969. In the 1971 NFL Draft, Manning was selected no. 2 overall by the Saints. During his time in New Orleans, Manning was for the most part a highly talented player on a not so talented team which led to some hard times in the...

Many of us have been wondering what’s going on with Saints free agent Michael Thomas, who’s had a quiet summer.

Today, we finally received our first bit of news on the player and it comes as a suspension.

Thomas will be suspended for the first game of the season after violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after his arrest last November, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Many of you may remember Thomas’ arrest for simple battery and criminal mischief two days before last year’s game in Minnesota. It was initially reported that Thomas confronted a construction worker who was...

Dianna Rusinni says 'vibes are high' around Saints QB Spencer Rattler

The Spencer Rattler hype train isn’t slowing down. Matter of fact, it’s only gaining more steam by the day. The Athletic’s Dianna Rusinni is the latest member of the national media to praise the potential of Rattler. She changed the game, though, by mentioning Derek Carr.

She sat with former New Orleans Saints quarterback Chase Daniels earlier this week. Russini was adamant there is no immediate quarterback controversy but said, “we need to keep an eye on this one.”

This stems from a text message from someone in the building saying the vibes are high around the rookie quarterback. This...

The New Orleans Saints continue to add to their front office this year by adding former general manager of the team, Randy Mueller.

Mueller was the Saints general manager from 2000-2001. In his first year with the team, the Saints won the NFC West and found themselves winning their first playoff game in franchise history.

After his stint with the Saints, Mueller would spend four years serving as an NFL analyst for ESPN before being hired by the Miami Dolphins in 2005. Mueller would also spend time with the Chargers before heading to the semi-pro ranks. His most recent work came as the...

The Pro Football Focus team voted on who would win the NFC South. None of the analysts believe the New Orleans Saints will gain their crown back as divisional champions.

The Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the favorites entering the season and the analysts’ prediction reflect what has been a common belief.

Trevor Sikkema was the only one to pick the Buccaneers. The majority opinion is the Atlanta Falcons will win their first title since 2016. With Kirk Cousins at the helm, the Falcons have rejuvenated expectations.

Cousins joins an offense with Bijan Robinson at running...
