EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Darren Rizzi is returning home to New Jersey, looking to avoid too many distractions, trying to extend the losing streak of a New York Giants team he grew up cheering for and hoping to spark the New Orleans Saints to a late run so he can take the interim label off his title as head coach.

Rizzi and the Saints (4-8) will try to hand the Giants (2-10) their eighth straight loss when the teams meet Sunday at MetLife Stadium, where New York is winless in six games this season.

“I grew up just about 15 minutes from the stadium there rooting for the Giants, going to watch a lot of playoff games back when Bill Parcells was the coach,” Rizzi said. “So it’s certainly something in the back of my mind but just trying to have the blinders on like everybody else, and just trying to coach the game.”

The Saints still have a chance to win the weak NFC South. They are two games behind the Falcons and Buccaneers, who are both 6-6. New Orleans split its games with Atlanta and has a game left against Tampa Bay.

Since replacing Dennis Allen in November, Rizzi has a 2-1 record. The loss came last weekend against the Rams. New Orleans hasn’t responded well after setbacks, losing seven straight at one point. If the longtime special teams coach can turn things around, he might have a case for keeping the top job....

Former Saints first round pick shares cryptic message before free agency

The New Orleans Saints and the NFL are back to the offseason, and free agency is only a few weeks away now. With that, they have to make decisions on 19 different pending free agents, whether that be extensions prior to free agency, bringing them back during the signing period, or letting them walk for better opportunities.

One of the former Saints first-round picks believes a new opportunity is just what he needs, posting a cryptic Instagram story with a picture of a Rolls Royce in a dusty garage with the caption, “No matter how good you are, if you are in a wrong place, you are...

Paulson Adebo's best fit in free agency may still be New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints are heading into 2025 NFL free agency with at least 19 players set to be free agents, which is quite a substantial list to say the least. This group includes multiple quality contributors, and one of the most notable players would be the Saints’ third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Paulson Adebo.

Retaining Adebo may be a worthy investment for the team, and despite the major leg injury which ended his 2024 season, his recovery has seemed swift throughout the offseason so far. ESPN analyst Matt Bowen also believes Adebo should return, as in a recent article...

Saints add Kyle Wilber to their special teams staff

The New Orleans Saints have solidified a new hire to the special teams staff. According to Nick Underhill, the Saints have brought on Kyle Wilber as the new assistant special teams coordinator.

Wilber, 35, comes to New Orleans after two seasons as the Green Bay Packers’ special teams quality control coach. He spent most of his playing career with the Dallas Cowboys, where he was a teammate of new Saints head coach Kellen Moore. Wilber was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Playing for the Cowboys from 2012 to 2017, in 2018, the Oakland Raiders signed...

Kellen Moore hires former teammate to the Saints special teams staff

One commonality on Kellen Moore’s coaching staff has been familiarity. You saw that with his connection to most of the coaches he hired on the offensive side of the ball. Defensive coordinator Brandon Staley was the head coach when Moore was with the Los Angeles Chargers. Moore is continuing to use those connections to fill out his staff.

The latest coach to be hired by the New Orleans Saints with a connection to Moore is Kyle Wilber. The New Orleans Times-Picayune’s Luke Johnson reported the Saints hired Wilber as a special teams assistant Monday morning, an upgrade from being the Green...

The Los Angeles Rams have given Matthew Stafford’s agent permission to speak with other teams, which may open the door for him to be traded. The New Orleans Saints don’t have the current supporting cast to make this move make sense, so they shouldn’t be expected to be involved in trade discussions for Stafford.

The news however does impact Saints quarterback Derek Carr. His future in New Orleans remains uncertain, and Kellen Moore didn’t provide any clarification on the matter in his introductory press conference.

Saints hire Texas assistant coach Terry Joseph

Last week, the New Orleans Saints hired Brandon Staley as their next defensive coordinator and now the team can focus on filling out the rest of the defensive staff before the NFL Combine. Today, per Tom Pelissero, the Saints have hired Texas assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator Terry Joseph to become their next defensive pass game coordinator.

Joseph has coached since 1999 and wherever he has gone, the defensive back group has success. The Saints have talent in their DB room, and Joseph could be the perfect hire to develop some of these younger players.

Saints named a reasonable landing spot for recently-cut Patriots LB

The New Orleans Saints will need to stretch their limited money a long ways this offseason, which means they will likely be bargain hunting in free agency.

Anthony Palacios of Last Word on Sports recently listed the Saints as one of the top five landing spots for ex-New England Patriots linebacker Sione Takitaki. Takitaki makes sense as an option given that he will be cheap, but isn’t necessarily a needle-mover on defensive side of the ball.

The 29-year-old was a third round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns back in 2019. He spent his first five seasons there before signing a two-year...

We’re less than a month away from the start of NFL free agency, which begins at 4 p.m. ET on March 12. But the legal tampering window opens two days before that on March 10 at 12 p.m. ET, where teams will be able to negotiate with free agents before the official start of the new league year.

The Brandon Staley conundrum: What makes the Saints DC so interesting?

Dennis Allen didn’t work as the New Orleans Saints head coach, but he was able to land a job with the Chicago Bears as their defensive coordinator in a matter of months. Matter of fact, Allen failed as the Oakland Raiders head coach becoming the Saints defensive coordinator.

The sentiment you can be a better coordinator than head coach is one Saints fans have heard since hiring Brandon Staley. Staley’s tenure as the leader of the Los Angeles Chargers didn’t go well.

This is where things get interesting. Staley comes to New Orleans with limited experience as a defensive coordinator. He...

Here’s a big move for Kellen Moore’s New Orleans Saints coaching staff. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Saints are hiring Texas Longhorns defensive pass game coordinator Terry Joseph for the same role under Brandon Staley; Joseph has also coached defensive backs at Texas, so expect him to play a key role in rebuilding the secondary. Nola.com’s Luke Johnson confirmed the news of Joseph’s addition.

Joseph, a 51-year old New Orleans native, has been coaching at the college level for a long time. But before that he started his coaching career at Archbishop Shaw High School, his...
