The New Orleans Saints coaching search continues. New Orleans has already interviewed or requested interviews with Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, ex-Titans coach Mike Vrabel, and their own interim coach Darren Rizzi.

Other teams looking for a head coach are the Bears, Raiders, Jaguars, and Jets. The Patriots look to have filled their vacancy with the expected hiring of Vrabel, as reported over the weekend. New Orleans created their vacancy after firing Dennis Allen following a 2-7 start to the year.

Along with the above names, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, and Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy are also getting interest around the league.

Another strong candidate looks like he'll now be completely available to be interviewed. ...

The New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel on Sunday morning. It was the most obvious pairing of this coaching cycle. It was also the first domino to drop, but it may be the only domino to drop for a while.

As it currently stands, the other major coaching candidates, specifically the Detroit Lions coordinators, are still in the playoffs. Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, and Joe Brady will all be in the playoffs next week. Brian Flores will be as well if the Minnesota Vikings win Monday.

This quartet likely make up multiple teams’ top guy. The New Orleans Saints are one of those teams. Teams...

Drew Brees says NFL teams could learn a lot from Brock Purdy's story

Drew Brees knows his way around the quarterback position — that much is evident by the simple fact that he is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. The New Orleans Saints legend retired with quite a few records to his name and a place waiting for him at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

While he is far from proving he can reach the same heights as Brees, former Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy has far exceeded the expectations with the San Francisco 49ers.

Once seen as “Mr. Irrelevant” as the final pick of the 2022 NFL draft, Purdy has become a legitimate starting NFL quarterback...

'Almost sacks' kept Saints' pass rush duo from thriving last year

The New Orleans Saints defensive ends generated a ton of pressure last season on paper, but the failure to finish and turn those into sacks kept them from being considered successful.

With the Houston Texans’ pass rush shining in their NFL Wild Card Round win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Locked on Saints host Ross Jackson compared the Houston duo to the one in New Orleans.

Jackson pointed out the two pairs finished first and second in the NFL in generating pressure, but there was a large gap in sacks.

Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter generated 148 pressures this season and turned...

Saints connected to exciting SEC pass rusher in 2025 NFL mock draft

  • News source: Dylan Sanders
  • Replies: 0

The New Orleans Saints have tended to draft one certain type of defensive end, but a new system taking over could lead to them expanding their criteria and adjust to the modern game.

Rather than investing in the smaller and faster pass rushers that have taken over the league, the Saints have always preferred the traditional 4-3 ends. It makes sense to go with system fits, but the results never really matched that.

Failed experiments like Payton Turner, Marcus Davenport and Isaiah Foskey should spell an end to the trend of drafting physical freaks because of size.

Cameron Jordan is already has the most sacks in New Orleans Saints history, but he’s approaching another historic achievement. With just two more sacks, Jordan will crack the top-20 all time sack leaders in NFL history.

Jordan was asked during his appearance on CBS Sports ‘That Other Pregame Show’ if reaching that milestone is a motivating factor for him to continue playing after 14 years. He didn’t directly answer if it was motivation, but he did clarify that he only needs two sacks to pass Robert Mathis. At the least, it’s something that’s on his mind.

Jordan has made it clear he isn’t...
