After a visit on Monday, the Saints officially ink more receiving help for their beleaguered offense.

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network was the first to report that the New Orleans Saints will officially sign wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their roster on Monday evening. It was previously reported over the weekend that the Saints were bringing the veteran wideout in for a workout on Monday. Terms of his deal were not immediately released.

Most recently with the Buffalo Bills, Valdes-Scantling has 188 receptions, 3,181 yards, and 16 touchdowns over a seven-year NFL career. He had just two catches on nine targets for 26 yards through six games this season. Buffalo released him last week after completing a trade for veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper.

Wide receiver is one of several spots on the New Orleans roster depleted by injuries. Starting receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed both missed Thursday's loss to the Denver Broncos.

Shaheed (knee) will miss the rest of the season. Olave (concussion) will be back, but the timetable for his return is a little uncertain. It was officially reported on Monday by John Hendrix of the Saints News Network that Olave remains in concussion protocol to start the week. ...

The New Orleans Saints have hired former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive backs coach Grady Brown, according to Matt Zenitz of 247sports. His title with the team is still to be determined. Brown had interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons’ vacant defensive coordinator position this offseason before they ultimately chose former New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.

It became apparent that Brown would not be returning to the Steelers when they announced the hiring of Gerald Alexander as their new DB coach. During Brown’s four-year stint, Pittsburgh posted a 38-29-1 record while the...

Why WR Dont’e Thorton should be looked at by the Saints

Dont’e Thornton, a wide receiver out of Tennessee, had an impressive day at the NFL Combine and because of his performance, I think the New Orleans Saints should think about drafting him this April.

Standing at 6’5’’, his 40-yard dash of 4.30 stands out. And according to NFL Draft Files, this speed is nothing new. Thornton also had a vertical jump of 33” and a broad jump of 10’6’’, with a relative athletic score of 9.80.

In 2024, his best season of college football, Thornton had 26 receptions for 662 yards and six touchdowns. His best game was against Oklahoma, where he had two...

Two NFL Draft prospects that had their stock affected by Combine measurements

Most of the outside focus of the NFL Combine is on the 40-yard dash to see who runs the fastest. For some positions, this drill is essential. For others, different drills are a focus of many scouts. One aspect of the Combine is important no matter what: The measurements. Every prospect participating in the combine gets their height, weight, arm length, hand size, and wing span measured. Having the ideal measurements is something teams value higher than most categories, and it can affect draft stock if a prospect has surprising or disappointing measurements. It happens every year, and...

Saints meet with Miami QB Cam Ward at the NFL Combine

The interview process is vital to understanding how these prospects think and if they can make it in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints will do their due diligence throughout the combine week, and although the team has hinted at Derek Carr being the starter in 2025, QB still needs to be looked at going into the draft. One of these quarterbacks the team could target, Miami's Cam Ward, is considered the far and away top QB in the draft. It is likely Ward gets selected before pick 9, but per Nick Underhill, the Saints still met with him yesterday at the NFL Combine.

Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football, the New Orleans Saints had a formal meeting with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Sanders, son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, is one of the top QB prospects of this draft cycle. In the past two seasons at Colorado, he has amassed 7,362 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. The best game for Sanders would come in 2023, in a game against the Colorado State Rams, where he completed 38/47 passes for 347 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.

In 2024, he was given the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award, as well as...

1. Tennessee Titans - QB Cam Ward (Miami)

Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker stated that the team “won’t pass up on a generational talent with the first pick in the NFL Draft,” but Tennessee needs a quarterback, and Cam Ward is the best in the class.

2. Cleveland Browns - ED Abdul Carter (Penn State)

With Myles Garrett asking for a trade, edge rusher becomes a massive need for the Browns. Abdul Carter is arguably the best prospect in the 2025 Draft and is the best chance for Cleveland to replace Garrett’s production.
