Saints News

While the top of the NFL world enjoys the postseason, the New Orleans Saints are among the group that already focusing on next year.

After the worst campaign in recent team history ended with a 5-12 record, they still draft all the way down at No. 9 thanks to the sheer amount of teams that struggled to win games this year. They have plenty of holes to fill so rather than focusing on one specific need, they can afford to go with whatever player they feel is best when they get on the clock.

Here is an updated look at a seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft with that mindset:

There are only four teams that have spent fewer selections in the NFL draft than the New Orleans Saints since they promoted Mickey Loomis to general manager back in 2003.

Those teams are the Minnesota Vikings (285), Los Angeles Chargers (282), Pittsburgh Steelers (268) and the league-low Green Bay Packers (267 players drafted), according to the data from Stathead and Pro Football Reference.

You could argue that the Saints have been successful despite owning so few draft picks through Loomis’ habit of trading them away. Over that same time period under Loomis, the Saints rank 10th-best in...

Today, the Buffalo Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the second of two Divisional Playoff games. Baltimore is coming off an impressive performance against Pittsburgh last week, while Buffalo is fresh off a dominant win over Denver. This is the marquee matchup of the Divisional Round and it will be fun to see which of these teams punches their ticket to Championship Sunday. This will be a fantastic way to end the 2025 Divisional Round!

Today, the Philadelphia Eagles host the Los Angeles Rams in the first of two Divisional Playoff games. Los Angeles is fresh off a steamrolling of Minnesota last week, while Philly is coming off a home win over Green Bay. It will be fun to see which of these teams punches their ticket to Championship Sunday. This should be a great way to start the second day of the 2025 Divisional Round!

The Detroit Lions fell from the playoffs quicker than expected and gave up 45 points to the Washington Commanders, though seven of those came off an interception returned for a touchdown. It’s led to a lot of football fans on social media questioning this loss’s impact on Aaron Glenn’s head coaching candidacy.

The truth is this should have no bearing on his standing with teams. He’s currently believed to be the favorite to land the New York Jets or New Orleans Saints head coaching vacancies. You don’t go from being the favorite to being questioned altogether.

From a public perspective...

There’s a Ben Johnson-shaped hole in the New Orleans Saints head coach search. Johnson, the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator, has been a popular candidate in this year’s hiring cycle. He’s interviewed with teams including the New England Patriots (who hired Mike Vrabel instead), Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, and Las Vegas Raiders.

But not the New Orleans Saints. Why hasn’t this year’s top option been linked to their job opening? It’s been reported that the New York Jets chose to not request an interview with him, and there’s speculation he could meet with the Dallas Cowboys...

It’s been crickets since the New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as their new head coach, but the Detroit Lions’ stunning playoff loss to the Washington Commanders could change that.

We’ve mentioned before how Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson being temporarily unavailable could hold back the coaching cycle. Now that they’re officially on the market, the next dominos can be toppled.

Glenn and Johnson represent the top candidates on each side of the ball. Johnson is the favorite for the Las Vegas Raiders, and Glenn is the favorite for the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints.

The Chicago...

The New Orleans Saints have long been connected to Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. Many people paired Glenn and New Orleans before Dennis Allen’s empty head coaching seat collected any dust.

They’ll have their opportunity to schedule an in-person interview with Glenn earlier than anticipated. The Detroit Lions were expected to make a deep playoff run, but the Washington Commanders had other plans. They upset Detroit in a stunner, 45-31.

This means another week of the Saints being unable to meet with Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, but that may be...

There’s no quarterback Cameron Jordan has sacked more than former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. Actually no quarterback in NFL history has been sacked by a single player more than Ryan has been sacked by Jordan.

So, it may surprise you to know Ryan isn’t Jordan’s favorite quarterback to sack. That honor, instead, goes to former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

To complete the divisional rotation, Jordan also described how Tom Brady, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, reacts when he’s sacked. Though Ryan has been his most frequent victim. Jordan sees the aftermath...

If NFL commissioner Roger Goodell gets his wish, New Orleans Saints fans and fans around the league will get a chance to see their favorite team one more week each season.

Goodell told Bloomberg he sees an expansion to 18 games in the league’s future. In doing so, they would decrease the amount of preseason games in order to stay “within that 20-game framework.” Goodell added, “We went to 16 and four, and now 17 and three. So 18 and two is a logical step.”

Considering it a logical step may depend on who you’re talking to. In some ways, it feels like 18 regular season games was always the...

The New Orleans Saints are among the many teams no longer on the field in the postseason, falling miserably short with a 5-12 overall record that placed them dead-last in the NFC South.

But the Caesars Superdome itself will be hopping sooner rather than later, with New Orleans set to play host for Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome.

Despite his strong Louisiana ties and going down as one of the best overall athletes in state history, Shaq says he does not keep up with the Saints on a regular basis — that’s because he’s a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan.

O’Neal may have taken the court...

Bleacher Report’s David Kenyon was inspired by Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals missing the playoffs to create a list of the seven best seasons in the NFL since 2010 that amounted to nothing. Burrow inspired this list, and his teammate Ja’Marr Chase could have made the list. It’s stunning to think those two players had the season they had, and the Bengals missed the playoffs.

They fell short in a fashion the New Orleans Saints are too familiar with, great offense with questionable defense. Drew Brees would be dealing to Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks or an undrafted free agent. It...

The New Orleans Saints could be headed overseas sooner rather than later.

The Saints are set to play the Miami Dolphins in 2025 — the same team who announced in January that they were set to host a game in Madrid in the upcoming season.

It marks the first time an NFL game will be played in Spain as the league continues to bring contests around the world. The venue the action will take place in is the 78,000-seat Bernabeu Stadium.

The opponent has not yet been revealed, but Miami’s list of visitors for 2025 does include the Saints, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets...

It’s been a wild month for Teddy Bridgewater. A few weeks ago he was celebrating a big win in high school football after coaching his Miami Northwestern alma mater all the way to a state championship. Then he signed with the Detroit Lions as a backup quarterback, and on Saturday night he was tabbed to go in against the Washington Commanders after Jared Goff had to step out for a brief injury evaluation, having gotten banged up on an interception return.

With a lot of his old New Orleans Saints fans (plus teammates and coaches) cheering him on, Bridgewater threw his first pass in a...
