We can’t believe we miss the days when we covered the Taysom Hill-Jameis Winston quarterback battle in New Orleans Saints‘ camp, but here we are.

Twelve weeks into the season, we have a much more drab (and convoluted) QB rivalry to talk about: Trevor Siemian vs. Taysom Hill vs. Ian Book.

If you could even call it a rivalry.

Siemian handled all quarterback snaps in the Saints’ home field walloping at the hands of Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Suffice to say, he did not play well, throwing for one score and 163 passing yards while recording an interception.

After the game, Sean Payton addressed questions about who the backup quarterback was since Hill was still injured.

Former New Orleans Saints head athletic trainer Dean Kleinschmidt has been named as one of the 2024 recipients of the Awards of Excellence from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Kleinschmidt began his NFL career as an intern for the 1967 and 1968 Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. He came to the Saints in 1969 as the assistant athletic trainer. In 1971, at the age of 23, he was promoted to head athletic trainer, becoming the NFL’s youngest head athletic trainer in history. Kleinschmidt remained with the Saints until 2000. In 2002, he received the Joe Gemelli Fleur De Lis Award from the...

Report: Saints spent 'extensive time' with SMU draft prospect Jordan Miller

Here’s a name to file away for draft day: Jordan Miller. Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline reports that the New Orleans Saints were one of two teams to spend “extensive time” interviewing the defensive tackle after SMU’s pro day for 2024 NFL draft prospects on Wednesday. The other team, Pauline adds, was a division rival — the Carolina Panthers.

Snubbed by the NFL Scouting Combine after an impressive week of practices at the Shrine Bowl, Miller weighed in at 6-foot-2 and 304 pounds and hit above-average marks in all of his athletic testing drills.

Miller transferred to SMU from Miami as a...

2024 NFL draft: Saints coach works one-on-one with LSU linebacker

The New Orleans Saints had a heavy presence in Baton Rouge on Wednesday for the LSU pro day. Some coaches even got the chance to work one-on-one with prospects in the 2024 NFL draft. One Saints assistant who took advantage of the time was linebackers coach Mike Hodges, who put Omar Speights through his paces.

Speights did not have the best season at LSU, but it’s almost hard to hold it against him with how much everyone regressed last season for the Tigers on the defensive side of the ball. Coming into 2023, he was an All-Pac-12 linebacker at Oregon State and had some hype around him...

Fleur-de-Links, March 28: Saints projected to win 7.5 games

The New Orleans Saints, fresh off a 9-8 season, are projected to take a step back in 2024 according to the preseason win totals from DraftKings Sportsbook.

With the news about Ryan Ramczyk’s knee, the need for protection upfront becomes even more important for the future of the franchise.

The Black and Gold will be upgrading their food facilities, but it had little to do with the team’s report card.

The Saints' projected win total is too low compared to the rest of the NFC South

The New Orleans Saints have the third-worst projected win total in the NFC South, sitting at 7.5 wins with DraftKings Sportsbook. And that’s too low compared to the rest of the NFC South, even if Kirk Cousins might be losing playoff games for the Atlanta Falcons instead of the Minnesota Vikings from now on.

There are some key things that still need to happen for the Saints to say they improved this offseason, but initially the win total seems to be a little low. New Orleans finished at 9-8 last season despite all of the turmoil that they faced. It’s hard to imagine the team finishing with...

LSU held their Pro Day in Baton Rouge today with numerous NFL coaches and scouts in attendance to get a good look at potential 2024 NFL draft candidates.

The most notable player participating was LSU QB and Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels. While Daniels’ performance drew lots of positive attention, he stood out for another very impressive reason. Daniels wore a hoodie with the #3 honor of his fellow Tigers teammate Greg Brooks Jr., who was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer. Brooks underwent a surgery to remove the tumor and is currently in the process of...

PFF proposes trade-up scenario for Saints in Round 1 of 2024 draft

Few teams are as aggressive on draft day as the New Orleans Saints have been with Mickey Loomis calling the shots for the last 20 years. They almost always trade up, never down, and the Saints are a candidate to move up the board again in the 2024 NFL draft.

Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger recently proposed six first-round trade scenarios that he would like to see happen on draft night. Of the six deals that he drew up, the New Orleans Saints were involved in a trade with the Chicago Bears.

In this scenario, Spielberger has the Saints trading up from Nos. 14 to 9 in the first...

We have a better idea of where each NFL team stands going into 2024, and so do oddsmakers. DraftKings Sportsbook has released their lines for wins in the 2024 season. Similar to power rankings, it is still a very early prediction. Teams have yet to go through the NFL draft, and those selections often play a pivotal part in how teams are viewed heading into the season.

The New Orleans Saints are currently set at over/under 7.5 victories. There are only eight teams who have a lower win projection. Once again, this falls in line with power rankings that had the Saints in the bottom-eight of...

Where the Saints rank in projected win totals among all 32 teams

We’re still a long ways off from kickoff in the 2024 regular season, but DraftKings Sportsbook has already published their projected win totals for all 32 NFL teams, opening the doors for bettors to wager whether teams will meet these expectations.

And it doesn’t paint a great picture for the New Orleans Saints, who rank in the bottom half of the league while tied with a few other underachievers. Expectations are higher for teams who either made the playoffs last season or added exciting upgrades in free agency. The Saints, meanwhile, are stuck watching games in January from the couch like everyone else.

Here’s where the Saints — and every other team — ranks in their projected win total ahead of the 2024 NFL draft:

Dennis Allen leaves the door open to an Andrus Peat return

Dennis Allen met with media at the NFC coaches breakfast on Tuesday during NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Fla., and he touched on a range of topics. One of those centered on free agent offensive lineman Andrus Peat, who has yet to sign with a team despite visiting the Tennessee Titans after his Saints contract expired.

“I think all things are on the table in terms of how we want to fill out our roster,” Allen said Tuesday. That’s hardly an endorsement for bringing Peat back, but it isn’t a door-slams-shut moment, either. “And so there’s a business aspect that goes along with all these...
