With Alvin Kamara hobbled, the Saints sign a former LSU star for backfield depth.

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

The New Orleans Saints are signing former Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. This was first reported on Wednesday afternoon by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football and since announced as an official move by the team.

Alvin Kamara, the Saints leading rusher, suffered a groin injury during last week's loss against Washington. The injury puts Kamara's status in major doubt when the 5-9 Saints play at the 10-4 Green Bay Packers this Monday night.

With Kamara's availability in serious question, New Orleans is extremely thin in their backfield. Taysom Hill is already out for the rest of the year, leaving the team with often-injured Kendre Miller, ineffective Jamaal Williams, and inexperienced/ineffective Jordan Mims.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Edwards-Helaire, 25, was selected in the first round (32nd overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. He played collegiately at LSU, where he rushed for 2,103 yards and added 595 more as a receiver while scoring 24 touchdowns in three years.

The New Orleans Saints coaching staff is nearly complete, but the defensive side still needs some roles to be filled. Yesterday, the Saints hired Texas assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator Terry Joseph to become the team’s defensive pass game coordinator. This was the first hire under DC Brandon Staley, and today, per Pete Thamel, the Saints have made their second addition, hiring Cal defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon to become their next linebackers coach.

This is the second coaching hire from college for the defensive staff, and it follows something NFL insider Ian...

The New Orleans Saints are hiring California Golden Bears defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon to come work as their new linebackers coach, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He’s another new arrival with few connections to the old Sean Payton-Dennis Allen regime, and will work as a position coach under defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.

Sirmon, 48, was a fourth-round pick by the Tennessee Titans back in 2000 and played for them until 2006. A former linebacker himself, he’s continued to coach that position at a number of college stops over the years — he overlapped with Terry Joseph, the Saints’...

Alontae Taylor spent time with the athletes at the HBCU Legacy Bowl over the course of the week and reflected on his experience with New Orleans Saints team reporter Erin Summers.

The Saints defensive back is in the position these prospects are aiming to be in, so he’s more than qualified to give them advice.

Prior to the practices for the all star game, the players went through the HBCU Combine. Alabama A&M offensive tackle Carson Vinson was the only HBCU player invited to the NFL Scouting Combine this year. This event allowed more HBCU players to go through the process in front of all...

The 2025 NFL draft is growing ever nearer, and with a new head coach for the New Orleans Saints, things have become even more interesting when it comes to predicting their draft needs. As Kellen Moore begins to build his coaching staff, and eventually his roster through free agency, he will have decisions to make on who to allow to depart and replace with draft prospects.

With Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Media recently completing his yearly pre-combine conference call discussing this year’s top prospects, we figured we would take a look at what he had to say regarding the prospects many Saints fans have been calling for in recent weeks. Keep in mind there are some left out due to them not being discussed, the four listed are some of the most common players of intrigue lately, however. Some of them have been popular picks in fan-driven mock drafts, others look like shoo-in picks for Kellen Moore and Co. to build around.

With that said, here is what Jeremiah had for analysis on some of the top prospects Saints fans have linked to their team.

Joseph is a New Orleans native that has been with the Texas Longhorns since 2021. Along with needing help with coaching in the secondary, it is also a need this offseason.

When it comes time to narrow down prospects for the 2025 NFL draft, Joseph could provide some key insight on a couple of top prospects that would make sense as targets for the Saints. He’s had hands-on experience coaching several Longhorns defensive...
