The New Orleans Saints roster is coming together this NFL offseason, and we now have a solid idea of who will be around new quarterback Derek Carr in Week 1. Now, the next time we see the 2023 team will be at Saints training camp when players start pushing each other for playing time and roster roles. After the Saints 2023 NFL draft, several Saints rookies will push veterans for time and starting spots. First-round pick, defensive tackle Brian Bresee, is one of those players, but there are several others as well.

Nathan Shepherd vs. Brian Bresee


The Saints made some interesting moves this offseason, and one of those was signing New York Jets defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd and guaranteeing him over $10 million.

Shepherd was a rotational player on the Jets who never played more than 42% of the team’s defensive snaps in a season. His career high for tackles is 33, and sacks are 2.5. The big lineman is a solid player but at 29, he’s probably reached his ceiling. ...

With the official start of the 2024 NFL Draft just a day away, rumors and smokescreens are starting to surround the lands. Some of them, not so good for the New Orleans Saints if true.

Teams potentially moving up for OT

Just recently today, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah tweeted out that many of his phone calls involved teams potentially moving up for an offensive tackle in round one.

If this in fact were to be true, it begs the question of what does a team like the Saints do in this scenario?

The Saints are the most tackle-needy team in the entire league at the moment meaning that...

Vontae Mack, no matter what.

Those were the words that officially got me hooked on the NFL Draft, even if it was from a movie. The 2014 movie Draft Day starring Kevin Costner was the biggest reason I see the draft the way I do now: as a national holiday. Immediately after seeing the movie, I began formulating my first ever mock draft. This year, I am as excited as ever for one of my favorite days of the year.

Reasons just like mine are why the NFL drafts is as big as it is. It’s managed to strike a personal connection with fans across the country and hold a sentimental value to many. All...

It’s about time: ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that the Heisman Trust will return Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy. The former New Orleans Saints running back won that trophy in 2005 after an outstanding three-year run with the USC Trojans, but was forced to forfeit it in 2010 after an NCAA investigation slammed the school for improper recruiting violations.

Thamel adds that an announcement from the Heisman Trust is coming on Wednesday, in which this unprecedented “reinstatement” of Bush’s trophy will be chalked up to “enormous changes in the college football landscape.” Name, image, and...

Reggie Bush responds to the Heisman Trust returning his trophy

Good for Reggie Bush. The former New Orleans Saints running back and USC Trojans star will have the Heisman Trophy he won in 2005 returned to him, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel, following a yearslong process of “deliberation” at the Heisman Trust. Bush forfeited the Heisman Trophy in 2010 following an investigation into improper recruiting benefits he received during his career at USC from 2003 to 2005.

Bush probably has a lot to say now that he’s won this unprecedented victory. For now, though, all we have is a brief and carefully-worded statement shared with ESPN.

“Personally, I’m thrilled to...

ESPN reported Wednesday that the Heisman Trust was expected to return the...

Florida State defensive tackle Braden Fiske met with the New Orleans Saints' defensive line coaches this week. He also met with coaches from the Bills and Cardinals and visited the Raiders, Steelers, and Chargers, per Aaron Wilson.

Braden Fiske is one of the biggest risers in the 2024 NFL Draft. Amazing performances in the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine allowed this to happen, but that was not the only reason. Fiske showed great performances on game tapes and high character in meetings. He is big, fast, and dominant at defensive tackle, which was shown in his combined measurements. If...
