New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas had a historic individual performance Sunday (Sept. 9), but he was in no mood to gloat after a 48-40 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

"You can't take anything positive away from a game with a loss," Thomas said. "We're a team. We win together, we lose together, so that would be selfish to worry about stats without winning games."

Thomas might not want to gloat about his performance, but it's still worth mentioning because his 16 receptions set a new single-game franchise record, breaking running back Tony Galbreath's mark of 14 from 1978. ...

With Paulson Adebo leaving in free agency, the Saints have a massive weakness at cornerback. Kool-Aid McKinstry and Alontae Taylor are the two current starters, but Taylor is projected to move back to slot corner. This leaves the...

The New Orleans Saints wasted no time finding a Will Harris replacement, inking former Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid to a three-year, $31.5 million deal with $22.5 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The 28-year-old follows in the footsteps of his teammate and fellow Louisiana native, veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu, as both went from being teammates on the Houston Texans to winning a Super Bowl in Kansas City (Reid twice, Mathieu once) before heading to the Big Easy to rep the black and gold.

Reid finished the 2024 campaign with 70 solo tackles (15 assists), 32 stops, 6...

One of the bigger disappointments in recent NFL Draft memory for the New Orleans Saints has moved on. Payton Turner has reportedly agreed to a 1-year $3 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys. The Saints obviously did not pick up his fifth-year option, so Turner departs for Dallas after just four seasons in New Orleans.

Turner was picked with the 28th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft after a good but unremarkable career at the University of Houston. He was a project but never managed to stay on the field, as he only played 31 of a possible 68 games during his tenure in New Orleans due...

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints are making significant moves in free agency, securing key players while also seeing some departures.

Tight end Juwan Johnson is set to return to New Orleans on a three-year, $30 million contract that includes over $21 million in guarantees, according to NFL Network.

The New Orleans Saints and veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu have agreed to a reworked contract, per Nick Underhill.

Mathieu’s new agreement will keep him in New Orleans for the 2025 season at a lower cap hit and with incentives, he can make up to $7.2 million.

In 2024, the veteran safety recorded 3 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles for the Saints in all 17 games. Mathieu’s consistency and availability have made him a top safety in the league, but as the team looks to do a soft rebuild, there was potential for the parties to part ways.

There were some rumors that Mathieu could be a cut...
