Earlier this offseason, Russell Wilson was the center of trade talks and New Orleans Saints fans were loving it because the Saints were on Wilson’s list of teams he wanted to play for if he wasn’t with Seattle.

Now, of course, as we know, things appeared to be patched up between Wilson and the Seahawks but he spoke to the media on Thursday and said that he didn’t request a trade but was interested in those teams that were listed. Nick Shook of NFL.com provided the following quote:

“I didn’t request a trade. Everything kind of started from there. Obviously, tons of teams were calling and I think that the reality was I didn’t want to go anywhere else, I wanted to play in Seattle. But if I had to go somewhere, these are the teams I would go to or consider. At the end of the day I have a no-trade clause, right?”
Wilson made sure everyone knew that he didn’t want to play anywhere else and he wants to be in Seattle. Still, the fact that he confirmed an interest in playing for the Saints is definitely something to discuss, as this team would be a heavy Super Bowl favorite with Wilson under center.

Where will each of the candidates end up on the NFL head coach carousel? NFL insider Josina Anderson reports from a league source whose belief is the race for Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will come down to two teams: the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints.

Glenn is a busy man; he’s scheduled head coach interviews with five different teams within a 48-hour window, meeting with every team with a vacancy except the New England Patriots. They sought out an interview, but Glenn declined the request.

If it comes down to the Saints and Jets, that’ll be an interesting...

While their opponents have not been named yet, the New Orleans Saints play the Jets next season, but that game is a home game, so we do know that the Saints will not be in London. However, the NFL will also play regular season games in Madrid, Spain, at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and in Berlin, Germany, at the Olympic Stadium, so the Saints still could...

Saints have already interviewed two head coach candidates

This isn’t what we saw in the New Orleans Saints’ last head coach search, or last year’s quest for a new offensive coordinator. They’ve already interviewed two candidates with a third on the way — the team announced that they completed initial meetings with Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, and they’ll speak with Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn on Friday.

It’s a big shift in their approach. Last offseason, general manager Mickey Loomis and the Saints waited nine days to part ways with Pete Carmichael...

Three days after the Seattle Seahawks fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb after just one season, the team has now inquired about a familiar face within the New Orleans Saints organization.

Seattle has requested to interview Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to potentially fill the void left by Grubb. After a 10-win season left the Seahawks just barely missing the playoffs, many wouldn’t expect such a move by the organization. Head coach Mike McDonald spoke about the decision behind the firing of Grubb, stating that he felt the offense was going in a different direction than...

In a surprise move, Aaron Glenn declined a team's head coach interview

In a bit of a surprise move, Aaron Glenn declined a head coach interview from the New England Patriots, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. His initial meeting with the Saints is still scheduled for Friday, but it’s a sign that Glenn is picking and choosing where he wants to devote his time.

It’s a smart move. The Patriots job is widely seen as Mike Vrabel’s to lose, and with interviews already set up with five other teams (including the Saints) Glenn is wisely giving them a thanks-but-no-thanks. Rather than spend time entertaining New England’s interest, he’s targeting more-serious...

As the New Orleans Saints are entering their offseason, all eyes are on the decision on the next head coach. When that next head coach gets to his office, he’ll have some decisions to make.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox unveiled his free agency big board, and two Saints cracked top-50. Chase Young was ranked as the 47th best free agent, and Paulson Adebo made the list slightly above Young at 43.

Both players present interesting decisions for the next head coach. Adebo is a question mark because of health, and that could work in their favor. Alontae Taylor and Kool-Aid McKinstry...

Dennis Allen has some advice for recently-fired head coaches

The end of the season unfortunately means the end of coaching tenures for some head coach. We’ve passed Black Monday, and we’re now in the swing of the league-wide coaching search with six vacancies. There were three firings after the season to join the three coaches fired during the season.

The New Orleans Saints moved on from Dennis Allen over two months ago, so he’s had time to get used to life not being a head coach. This also isn’t his first time being fired in the middle of the season. The Oakland Raiders dismissed him after just four games in 2014.

During this time the former head...
