New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton turned the NFL world on its ear this week during an appearance on ESPN, suggesting that the 2020 season would be the final year Drew Brees would play under center before riding off into the sunset. While Brees had not made the sort of public announcement Payton claimed, it sort of made sense given the quarterback’s contract structure (his 2021 base salary is not guaranteed, meaning it’s basically his choice whether to return after the 2020 season).

On Wednesday, Payton spoke with local new Orleans media during a teleconference call and explained that his previous comments were a mistake on his part.

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...
