Jordan believes the Buccaneers hype is premature

By Jordan Dajani | CBS Sports

During a recent appearance on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football," New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan said the Bucs hype is premature and that they are fighting among the other NFC South teams for "second place" behind the Saints.

"I do know we have to step up our game, we've got to elevate," Jordan said, via NFL.com. "They've got the second-greatest quarterback of all-time, right behind Drew Brees, and now we've got a head-to-head two times a year. We've got our work cut out for us and then they have an addition, you bring in Rob Gronkowski and LeSean McCoy, you already had two 1,000-yard receivers in (Chris) Godwin and Mike Evans. This is a team that's fighting for second place." ...

Props to Alvin Kamara for making the most of his offseason. The New Orleans Saints running back headlined “The Catch” sport fishing tournament in Florida last week, teaming up with Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert to win the whole thing.

The New Orleans Saints still have needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, but many can still be solved. Since Dennis Allen took over as head coach, the Saints showed the ability to identify the biggest need on the team and draft a solution. This was shown in 2022 with the picks of Trevor Penning and Chris Olave and the draft picks of Bryan Bresee and Isaiah Foskey in 2023. Tackle and wide receiver were by far the biggest need in 2022, and defensive tackle and edge rusher were the biggest need in 2023. Although some of these players have not fully worked out, the team still drafted what was...
