Here’s the big tell everyone was waiting for. Darren Rizzi appears to have his next job lined up after working as the New Orleans Saints interim head coach this season — NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Rizzi “is likely to become the new Broncos special teams coordinator.” Rizzi was brought to the Saints by Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton when he was running the operation in New Orleans, so it makes sense he would partner up again with Rizzi when given the chance.

Of course it isn’t as simple as Rizzi swapping his Saints hat for a Broncos cap and getting on a flight to Denver...

Darren Rizzi isn't going anywhere yet — but he's expected to have a landing spot in Denver.

The New Orleans Saints have some interesting decisions to make when it comes to their 2025 free agency class. With 19 players set to be unrestricted free agents, there are a few near the top who are most definitely worth looking at retaining. One of those players is defensive end Chase Young, who had a solid season with the Saints in 2024, and according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, is open to sticking around:

In this article of the top 50 free agents, ESPN had ranked Young at No. 39 among his pending free agent peers.

Free agent contracts have always been nice to defensive ends, as their...

The New Orleans Saints are the only team in the NFL who does not currently have a head coach. They’ve interview a bunch of candidates, but haven’t yet hired anybody. However, they have seemingly found their preferred target: Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator, Kellen Moore.

The Saints recently flew to Philly to meet with Moore after the NFC Championship game, and now they plan on speaking to him again after they play in the Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9th, per Tom Pelissero.

The news came just hours after there were some reports that Moore might have second thoughts...

Report: Kellen Moore is already recruiting for his Saints coaching staff

All signs point to Kellen Moore becoming the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints — most critically, the fact general manager Mickey Loomis told other candidates in the race he’s waiting until after Super Bowl LIX to make a decision on who he’ll hire. That’s the soonest Moore could meet with the Saints again and agree to take the job, per NFL rules. So it’s increasingly looking more like a question of when, not if, he’ll be introduced to the Black and Gold.

And it may not take long for Moore to hire assistants. The Times-Picayune’s Matthew Paras reports that Moore “has been in...

The New Orleans Saints have had some great opportunities to develop defensive backs in the past few seasons, and one of the ones who has panned out well so far is Alontae Taylor. For this production and for being utilized at a high rate, he will receive a $1.66 million increase to his 2025 base salary due to what the NFL regards as the “Proven Performance Escalator”.

The report via Katherine Terrell of ESPN provides some context regarding what this escalator is, as it, “gives second to seventh round picks pay raises in their fourth year based on cumulative play time.”

When it comes down...

The New Orleans Saints have a wide variety of free agents hitting the market in 2025, and one of the most notable ones when it comes to projected value is cornerback Paulson Adebo. As his rookie-scale contract ends, he will now have the chance to work towards a long-term full-size contract, and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN has contacts around the league who believe he may be one of the best available:

When it comes to being top-three at your position in a free agency class, that comes with expectations on a contract value as well. ESPN ranked Adebo No. 44 on their free agency list of the top 50...

The New Orleans Saints head coaching search may finally be coming to a close after Super Bowl LIX wraps up, as the Saints plan to interview Kellen Moore once again when the season wraps up, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. This indicates that he is likely the frontrunner to become their next head coach for the 2025 season and beyond, as they finally begin to wrap up the search which has lasted far longer than any of the other teams did during this cycle.

Moore will have what could be his final game as a Philadelphia Eagles coach on Feb. 9 in Caesars Superdome, home of the Saints, where he...

This is big. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Friday afternoon that New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis informed several candidates in the team’s head coach search they’re effectively out of the race — and that “while there has been no final decision, he plans to continue discussions with Kellen Moore.”

The Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator cannot speak with the Saints again until after Super Bowl LIX, but Pelissero adds that a meeting has already been scheduled. Expect the Saints to formally hire Moore on or around Monday, Feb. 10 and announce him as the team’s...
