Ryan Ramczyk reduces Saints salary for 2025, signaling likely retirement

By Jeff Nowak - WWL Radio Sports
Ryan Ramczyk didn't play a down for the New Orleans Saints this season, but his final move in the NFL will still help the team next year.
Ramczyk has reduced his base salary for the upcoming season down to the league's minimum, according to reports, a common sign that a player is planning to retire in the near future.
Handling things this way means the restructured deal frees up more than $16 million against the Saints' immediate salary cap overage. The Saints will still have to navigate a dead cap hit starting in 2025 when the retirement is officially processed, most likely after June 1.
The Saints still sit in the range of $50 million over the 2025 salary cap and will have to clear that space using a variety of measures, including restructured deals to shift more cap burden down the line. The biggest name in that conversation will be Derek Carr, whose contract could be restructured to clear up to $30.9 million against the cap in 2025.
Ramczyk's move mirrors what former Saints players Drew Brees and Malcolm Jenkins did immediately prior to their respective retirements. The former first-round pick was a stalwart along the Saints' defensive line since 2017, helping to lead a stout group bookended by Terron Armstead for much of that time. Ramczyk started at least 15 games in each of his first four seasons and was named All Pro three times. ...

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed on 'genius' head coach candidate Kellen Moore
If the New Orleans Saints hire Kellen Moore as the next head coach, they’ll get a positive review from Rashid Shaheed. When asked about Moore, Shaheed called him a “genius,” per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill.
Shaheed is working his way back from injury, but he along with Chris Olave are two of the most attractive pieces for an offensive minded head coach. They’re two young, dynamic receivers.
New Orleans is getting a complete overhaul this year. Klint Kubiak joined the Seattle Seahawks, so there will be a change of system even if Moore isn’t the coach. Shaheed has studied the...

Saints head coach candidate Kellen Moore hints at potential staff addition
With Kellen Moore likely becoming the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints, many have wondered what a Moore-led staff would look like.
During yesterday’s media availability, Moore was asked about his younger brother Kirby who just finished his second season as the offensive coordinator for the Missouri Tigers. Kellen Moore had some high praise for his brother’s accomplishments while noting the potential for more opportunities in the near future.
If hired by New Orleans, Moore will be expected to put his coaching staff together immediately. Already behind schedule with hires being...

2024 Saints free agent report cards: Was letting Malcolm Roach go a big loss?
The NFL offseason is nearly upon us, as the only thing standing in the way between teams and beginning their roster management is the Super Bowl, held in New Orleans. This gives us a little bit of time to look back in retrospect and cover the New Orleans Saints free agent signings from 2024, but also take a look at those players they let walk.
One of the more intriguing players they let go was defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, who was an exceptional run defender with them, but they chose not to pay and he would move on to the Denver Broncos. Here is how things have played out for his career...

Saints' Cam Jordan reacts following the Walter Payton Man of the Year announcement
NEW ORLEANS — The NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday night didn't lack when it came to surprises.
One of those, at least to New Orleans sports fans, came at the end of the show, when former Saints Drew Brees and Steve Gleason present the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.
The camera cut to Saints defensive end Cam Jordan — who was up for the award — several times. Brees read an introduction that appeared to be talking about Jordan, a 14-year pro who has spent his entire career in New Orleans.
Everything seemed to be aligned for Jordan winning the prestigious award — right up until it...

Every former Saints player, coach competing for glory in Super Bowl LIX
The 2024 NFL season concludes this Sunday at the Caesars Superdome, as the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs face off in Super Bowl LIX. For some players and coaches, kicking off this game in New Orleans will be a homecoming of sorts.
Steve Spagnuolo is the return that flies under the radar the most. The 2012 Saints defense he coordinated was so bad that you don’t even think about who was the calling the plays. Outside of a horrific defense, the 2012 season was pretty forgettable. It was the year Sean Payton was suspended and most fans don’t think deeply about that year if they don’t have to. But Spagnuolo is the only member of the Chiefs with a tie to the Saints.
The most prominent returns are C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Zack Baun. Each player has carved out an important role in the Eagles defense, which is coordinated by another former Saints coach. This is Baun’s first year away from the Saints, and he instantly turned into an All-Pro and Pro Bowler. Gardner-Johnson is in his third season away from New Orleans.
Here are all the Super Bowl LIX players and coaches competing for glory on Sunday evening:

The New Orleans Saints are the only team left with a coaching vacancy. The expectation is the Saints are waiting on Super Bowl LIX to wrap up so they can officially hire Kellen Moore away from the Philadelphia Eagles. That didn’t stop Sean Payton from getting his jokes off.
“Are they announcing that this year or next year?” Payton asked Kay Adams in jest, joining Mark Ingram II and Cameron Jordan on set. Arguably Adams’ biggest inquiry was if Moore a good fit for New Orleans. There aren’t many, if any, people who can answer that question better than Payton. He led the Saints for over a...

It’s time for New Orleans to add some speed off the edge. With Chase Young set to become a free agent and Cam Jordan getting up there in age, the Saints need to find someone to complement Carl Granderson—someone they can build their future around, because it may not seem like it, but Granderson is already 28 years old.
