Here's what we heard in New Orleans on Myles Garrett, Cooper Kupp, Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen and the NFL offseason.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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:

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Bryan Bresee saw the two teams that will play in Super Bowl LIX up close and personal this season.

Patrick Mahomes can quickly point to the toughest loss in his career.

Kellen Moore, like practically every other quarterback listed at 6 feet or shorter, grew up a fan of Drew Brees.

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...

CCS’ Lenny Vangilder caught up with former Saints safety and current SEC Network analyst Roman Harper to reflect on New Orleans' Super Bowl win in 2010.

It’s no secret the New Orleans Saints have several roster needs heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, but these three areas need immediate attention:

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.

I understand the hesitation from those who may be wary of taking an edge rusher so early, especially considering the Saints’...

Here we go folks, that bittersweet time for every football fan. As much as Super Bowl Sunday is a celebration of the NFL’s championship, it’s also the culmination of another football season. Come Monday, it’s all over for actual NFL football for another eight months until it all starts over again. Eight long months. So, before we talk draft and free agency for the New Orleans Saints, lets break down this final game of the season.

The NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles face the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs in the biggest spectacle in American professional sports. Kansas City enters the...
