The New Orleans Saints were not exactly well represented on the 2025 Pro Bowl roster.

By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI

The initial rosters for the 2025 Pro Bowl were announced on the morning of Thursday, Jan. 2. No New Orleans Saints have been voted onto this year's NFC squad.

This year's Pro Bowl will be held in Orlando, FL. It will be a week-long celebration of skills competitions by participating players. The week will culminate with a flag football game between the AFC and NFC on Feb. 2.

There are six teams landed at least five players on the Pro Bowl roster. The Baltimore Ravens lead the way with nine Pro Bowlers. The Detroit Lions has the largest NFC representation with seven, followed by six from the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings.

New Orleans, with a 5-11 record heading into the season finale, is the only NFC team without a Pro Bowl representative. The Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Tennessee Titans were also not represented on the AFC squad.
Saints Snubs?

It's hard to make a strong case for any New Orleans players being ''snubbed' for this year's Pro Bowl. After all, the Saints have underperformed most of the year, and many of their best players have been injured for large portions of the season.

Rookie punter Matthew Hayball and veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu were among the NFC voting leaders at their respective positions. A recent slump by Hayball may have allowed Lions P Jack Fox. ...

Report: Ex-Saints head coach could team up with Ben Johnson on Bears

Things are picking up in the NFL coaching carousel — Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is going to the Chicago Bears, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that ex-New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen is “the leading candidate” to join him as defensive coordinator.

Allen previously interviewed with the Indianapolis Colts for the same position, but they reportedly went with longtime Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo instead. That frees up Allen to join Johnson in Chicago.

And wouldn’t you know it, but the Saints have a road game with the Bears scheduled...

The College Football National Championship will take place on Monday night with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes. There will be plenty of 2025 NFL draft prospects showcased that the New Orleans Saints should keep an eye on.

Heading into the draft, pretty much every position on the field needs to be addressed in some way. The good news is that these are two schools that generate a ton of NFL talent and have been targeted by the Saints in the past.

Here are the top prospect matchups that New Orleans needs to keep an eye on in the game:

Report: Saints scheduling in-person interview with ex-Cowboys head coach

It’s been rumored for weeks, but the New Orleans Saints are finally scheduling a sit-down interview with former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy previously met with the Chicago Bears after his contract with Dallas expired last week. Because he’s not under contract with another team, he’s free to meet in person without setting up an initial virtual interview.

Per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill, that’s going to happen later this week, with exact timing depending on the weather. A rare winter snowstorm is headed for Louisiana and the Gulf South...

The New Orleans Saints search for a new head coach is heating as reports came out on Monday that they are conducting 2nd interviews with not one but two of their prospects.

Lions coach Dan Campbell 'prepared to lose both' coordinators this year

New Orleans Saints head coaching target Aaron Glenn has expressed the comfort of returning to the Detroit Lions if it came to that. But his head coach, Dan Campbell, surely doesn’t seem to see that happening.

Campbell told media, he’s “prepared to lose both” Glenn and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson this offseason. This mindset likely stems from two things: Campbell has high belief in both of his coordinators, and he’s had conversations with both of them after their interviews.

Campbell’s belief in his coordinators has been validated by what the Lions have built over the last couple of...

With an early exit for the Detroit Lions in this year’s playoffs, one of the New Orleans Saints top candidates will be getting a second look a little earlier than expected.

Does Chase Daniel have an inside track on the New Orleans Saints head coach search? The longtime NFL backup has found success as a media analyst and commenter after hanging up his cleats, and Drew Brees’ old handshake partner shared his predictions for which candidates will take which jobs in this year’s cycle.

And he doesn’t have Aaron Glenn, Kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy or Kliff Kingsbury going to New Orleans. Instead of those A-listers, it’s New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka who Daniel sees wearing in black and gold.

The New Orleans Saints have continued their head coaching search and now have another week of footage to review as they narrow down candidates.

While a decision doesn’t seem to be looming, a list of candidates has begun to take form. Unfortunately for the goal of hiring a coach, a handful of the top candidates are still in the playoffs. Some coaches strengthened their cases while others left fans with a bad taste in their mouths.

Here is how all of the Saints’ top head coaching candidates performed this weekend during the NFL playoff’s Divisional Round:

New Orleans Saints defensive assistant and former NFL safety Matt Giordano has been named to the East-West Shrine Bowl coaching staff for the 2025 event. He’ll be responsible for coaching the defensive backs on the East Team.

Yaccarino: Why the Saints need more draft picks and how they can make that happen

The New Orleans Saints roster is a concern going into the offseason. Almost every position needs to be upgraded, and the weak points of this roster are extremely weak. With the current cap space for the Saints, free agency will look like a few 1-year cheap deals that help make issues look a bit better. While these moves help fix the cap in the long run and the roster stay afloat, the NFL Draft is where the Saints can get answers. Overall, the 2025 NFL Draft is not the strongest in the 1st Round. This draft class will be remembered because of its depth. Day 2 will be massive for teams to...

We’ve got movement in the New Orleans Saints head coach search. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that New York Giants offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Mike Kafka is flying in to New Orleans for a second interview with the Saints, this time in person (per NFL rules).

So why are the Saints so high on a high-level assistant from one of the worst teams in the league? You have to look beyond the results of his Giants tenure to see why they’re so high on Andy Reid’s former quarterback coach.

Kafka quickly rose through the ranks on the Kansas City Chiefs and won a lot of...
