NEW ORLEANS -- No question that after last year’s bountiful draft for the New Orleans Saints, the 2018 version of let’s take a chance would be scrutinized in a way that no other draft would be.

No matter who the Saints chose this year, the comparison to 2017 would be made, even though none of the players selected starting last Thursday had even taken a snap in the NFL.

So, how did the Saints do in this year’s installment? That all depends on who you ask. The range of grades looks like the report card of a seventh grader going through the change to adulthood: it is all over the map.
ESPN gave the Saints a C+, putting New Orleans just above average.

Bleacher Report, without providing any explanation with its rankings, gave the Saints a D, the lowest in the league along with Oakland and Seattle.
Yahoo and USA Today agreed with Bleacher Report and also rated the New Orleans draft as being D worthy. However, both NFL.com and CBS Sports had the Saints with a grade of B.

The biggest move of the draft for New Orleans came very early. The Saints made a bold move in the first round Thursday, trading next year’s first-rounder to move up and take Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport, a player who filled a need for a pressure player at the right defensive end spot the Saints have been trying to fill long-term for years.

NEW ORLEANS — The Green Bay Packers look to win for the ninth time in their past 11 games when they host the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. If they get some help Sunday night, the Packers may have already clinched a playoff berth by the time this game kicks off. They know they can wrap up a postseason spot regardless by winning Monday night. The Saints won't have quarterback Derek Carr or running back Alvin Kamara because of injuries.

Report: Saints may ‘want to hear’ what Deion Sanders has to say

Could Deion Sanders return to the NFL as head coach of the New Orleans Saints? Crazier things have happened, but Sanders leaving the Colorado Buffaloes and continuing to coach his son would be an unprecedented move. Shedeur Sanders is a top-flight quarterback prospect who has also been linked to the Saints in evened days.

But if we’re evaluating the elder Sanders’ candidacy on its own merits, there’s a lot to like. He went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a player. As a college coach, he dominated the competition at Jackson State before moving to Colorado, where he’s gone 13-11 with...

There aren’t many surprises on the New Orleans Saints’ final injury report of the week. Ahead of their game against the Green Bay Packers, the Saints ruled out four players and listed one as questionable.

Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave were all ruled out, but that was the expected procedure for all three players. Darren Rizzi said Carr and Kamara were going to miss the Monday night matchup earlier this week.

Olave was designated to return from injured reserve, but a return to action this week shouldn’t have been expected.

Rookie Saints draft pick suffered injury setback

This isn’t the news Bub Means was hoping for. On Saturday, New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi told reporters that Means had suffered a setback in practice and would likely revert to injured reserve, ending his season.

Means suffered an ankle injury earlier this season that put him on IR for several weeks; when he was cleared to return to practice, he was only able to work on a limited basis for a few days before sitting out again. Now his year is likely over with his 21-day practice window coming to a close.

It’s a disappointing turn, but these things happen in the NFL...

Opinion: Saints should follow Falcons' example and cut ties with Derek Carr

  • News source: Jeremy Trottier
  • Replies: 0

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to release quarterback Kirk Cousins sometime between now and March after less than one full season starting on the team. This is because of a string of poor starts for the veteran quarterback, and ultimately a lack of true upside, which could hinder the team long-term if they were to retain his contract.

Many of the reasons the Falcons are moving on from Cousins sound like the same issues the New Orleans Saints are facing with Derek Carr. Large contracts with multiple years remaining that could hinder further team development, both have a .500 winning...
