The New Orleans Saints are planning to hold their draft war room at the Dixie Brewery in New Orleans, which is also owned by team owner Gayle Benson, since the NFL forced its teams to shut down its facilities amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Head coach Sean Payton also said the team is prepared to stay at the brewery through the draft on April 23-25 if need be.

"This facility is fantastic," Payton told reporters on a conference call Wednesday, according to ESPN. "There's no one out here. We have our board set up, we've got seven monitors. ... We're certainly distanced away from each other. There's plenty of space. And then the monitors have all the scouts and everyone else, so the total people [involved] in the meeting might be 20."...

Payton said staff members are following all of the CDC guidelines. There will only be six or seven people on-site, including Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis and assistant general manager Jeff Ireland, and they will be spread out from one another in a boardroom setting. Everyone will be expected to take their temperature when they arrive at the facility.

Saints position group season review: Offensive Line

The New Orleans Saints offensive line had a very up and down season in 2024. On the one hand, rookie first round NFL Draft pick Taliese Fuaga started every game and looked great at left tackle, but on the other hand, the interior of the line was a revolving door all season and there was not much to be optimistic about aside from Fuaga and Erik McCoy, who only played in five full games all year due to injury. Trevor Penning and Cesar Ruiz looked average and the left guard position is a complete mystery. The Saints had eight offensive linemen play over 25% of the offensive snaps last year...

With the start of free agency next week, the New Orleans Saints have a great opportunity to find some cheap deals to improve this roster. The team should be more active than last year, but once again, many, if not all, will be 1-year deals. Staying with this free-agent strategy will help the Saints improve the cap. Also, New Orleans can receive compensatory picks if the signed free agents leave after one year to go to other teams. This strategy is already working out for the team, with Chase Young set to leave and get a larger contract. The goal will be to do something similar in free...

The New Orleans Saints and Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy agreed to terms on a reworked deal Wednesday, per Nick Underhill of NOF Network. While details have yet to be officially announced, if it’s a full restructure, the move could clear around $6.69 million in cap space for the black and gold.

The Saints reportedly began discussing the idea of a restructure with McCoy on Monday, but the 27-year-old was busy living his best life on a Mardi Gras parade float.

Ultimately, the club reached an agreement Wednesday afternoon with the heart and soul of the offense but expect more moves from New...

On Monday, March 3, New Orleans Saints players Rashid Shaheed, Erik McCoy, Bryan Bresee and Alontae Taylor joined the Krewe of Orpheus as they paraded their way down the Uptown route in New Orleans.

This year’s theme "As Above So Below" celebrates the krewe’s 32nd annual parade with over 1300 members.

The Krewe of Orpheus was founded in 1993 by a small group including Harry Connick, Jr., Harry Connick, Sr. and Captain Sonny Borey. It derives its name from the mortal Orpheus, son of the god Apollo and the muse Calliope. The parade rolls on Lundi Gras and culminates with the Orpheuscapade...

The New Orleans Saints’ moves will be a bit limited with the current cap situation, but GM Mickey Loomis had recent comments that talked about the team being a bit more active than last year. This does not mean the team will be wasting money on big names but possibly bringing in more players on 1-year deals than last year. Some cap gymnastics will need to happen, but it can be done without pushing too much money into the future and ruining the cap cleaning the Saints are working towards. The issue with going in this direction, even if it is correct, is that the Saints will miss out on...
