Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has removed himself from consideration for the Saints' head-coaching vacancy and will remain in his position with Buffalo next season, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Could sit out over Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid affect Saints?
By Roy Anderson
There is word that a sit out may be brewing among some players in the NFL over Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid. Could such a sit out affect the Saints?
Bleacher Report ran a piece on Sunday, May 27, about word that a possible sit out could be coming from some NFL players. The issue is that Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid, both very vocal in support of the “take a knee” movement, have yet to be signed by any team in the league.
The perception is that both players are being blackballed by the NFL. There’s something to that argument. Both players are, arguably, better than many quarterbacks and safeties currently sitting on NFL rosters. And both players are certainly political lightning rods.
Nothing is known about who might be behind such a protest. The Bleacher Report article was reporting based on a tweet from Shaun King, a writer for a left-leaning, civil rights blog called The Intercept.

Where the Saints should turn after missing out on Joe Brady
I will start this article out by stating that I personally do not dislike any of the candidates the Saints are looking at, and while I have preferences toward who may be the better or worse candidates, there is not one in particular that doesn’t have a reason to become a head coach. That said, the New Orleans Saints are now down another candidate, as Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has chosen to stick with his current team rather than pursue the Saints head coaching gig.
This leaves the Saints with six viable head coaching candidates: Anthony Weaver, Mike McCarthy, Kellen...

Another popular target just backed out of the Saints head coach search
The New Orleans Saints received some unfortunate news on Saturday afternoon as top head coach candidate Joe Brady pulled himself out of consideration for the job.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke the news on Saturday afternoon that the Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator would be sticking with his team for next season.
The Saints had interviewed him once already and wanted to set up a second one, but will not get their wish. Brady had been the top fan-favorite candidate in the search given his history with the team and Louisiana (he got his first big break on Sean Payton’s staff, and...

Saints complete in-person interview with another head coach candidate
The New Orleans Saints have completed an in-person interview with Mike Kafka for their open head coach position, the team announced Saturday afternoon. Kafka, 37, has worked on the Kansas City Chiefs under Andy Reid and spent the last few years on the New York Giants staff as offensive coordinator, though head coach Brian Daboll has called plays in each of the last two seasons (neither of which ended with a playoff berth).
He’s an intriguing candidate for the job. Both Reid and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes have spoken glowingly about Kafka’s value as a leader and communicator, and...

A big name is withdrawing from the Saints coaching search ahead of the AFC Championship
The New Orleans Saints are the last team with a coaching vacancy, but a notable name is withdrawing from consideration.

The Senior Bowl is just a week away, and as always, this is a significant event for the New Orleans Saints. With the Senior Bowl being held in Mobile, Alabama, the Saints are the closest team to the event, which gives them an advantage. Unlike other teams, the Saints can send most of their staff/scouts to this event, and due to this, New Orleans values when a prospect participates in the Senior Bowl. Teams can also get an advantage if their staff members are chosen to coach. In this year’s Senior Bowl, the Saints have four staff members coaching position groups: Jahri Evans, Jordan Taylor...

After the hiring of Ben Johnson to be head coach of the Chicago Bears, there was speculation going around that New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi was the target of interest to join Johnson’s new staff. However, that development has stalled out, as Rizzi works to make his case for the Saints head coaching job as we speak.
Rizzi is competing with some strong candidates for the Saints job, including Mike McCarthy, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Anthony Weaver, Mike Kafka, and maybe Kliff Kingsbury. While he does have the upper hand of being in the Saints system for years now and...

Former Saints head coach reacts to Aaron Glenn being hired by the Jets
The New Orleans Saints had some former staffers/players hired around the league recently, with Aaron Glenn moving on to the New York Jets to become their head coach, and J.T. Barrett joining the Chicago Bears to be their quarterbacks coach. The Sean Payton tree continues to expand little by little each year as well:
Sean Payton reacted to the hiring of Glenn by the Jets as well shortly after the fact, stating on social media that the opportunity was “Much Deserved.” Glenn was also a prospective candidate for the Saints head coaching vacancy this offseason, however ultimately chose to go a...

Cameron Jordan salary: How much money did Saints DE make this season?
There have been a lot of New Orleans Saints franchise legends and mainstays make their ways out of town in the last few years, but at least one name has remained a constant: Cameron Jordan.
This past season was Jordan’s 14th season with the Saints and unfortunately, it was one of his weakest. It is understandable, given that he is 35, that some regression has started to hit. He played a career-low 48% of snaps last year and didn’t really make an impact until late in the season.
Jordan finished the year with 34 tackles, seven for a loss and four sacks. Though those numbers don’t jump off...

Should Saints consider Georgia DL Mykel Williams? 2025 NFL draft projection
The New Orleans Saints have a lot of holes to address in the 2025 NFL draft and one of the biggest needs has been hard for them to scout in recent years: defensive end.
Sitting with the No. 9 overall spot in the draft, there are a couple of names that tend to pop up with some frequency. One such player is standout Georgia Bulldogs defensive end Mykel Williams. Should Mickey Loomis consider taking him and another shot at ending their woes at the position.
There is at least one thing that Loomis is sure to like about him, his size. Weighing in at 6-foot-5 and 265 pounds, that puts his in...

Saints could expand their coaching search after missing on top target
The New Orleans Saints’ preferred head coach, Aaron Glenn, chose his preferred destination, the New York Jets, and the Saints have pivoted to the rest of their list as expected.
Post-snowstorm New Orleans have interviews scheduled new dates for interviews with Mike Kafka, Mike McCarthy and Aaron Weaver. Wednesday night, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Joe Brady and Kellen Moore will join that list. That was another step that was easy to predict.
Things get interesting when Rapoport says there could be more coaches added to the list

Final projection opens the door for Saints to get multiple 2025 comp picks
The New Orleans Saints have stocked up on a decent amount of NFL draft picks so far heading into the 2025 offseason. They currently sit on seven selection, with an additional compensatory pick likely to be added in the seventh round. That corresponds to the loss of cornerback Isaac Yiadom in free agency. The Saints won’t get compensation for losing linebacker Zack Baun to the Philadelphia Eagles after signing defensive end Chase Young.
However, they could potentially pick up another compensatory seventh-round pick (for defensive tackle Malcolm Roach going to the Denver Broncos) pending...

Saints free agent preview: WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, stay or go?
The New Orleans Saints tough 2024 season is thankfully over, and now they get to look ahead to bigger and better things like their head coach hiring process, the 2025 NFL draft, and working on signings/re-signings in the coming weeks once the playoffs wrap up. This is an intriguing offseason when it comes to bringing back players, as there are not a ton of quality Saints players hitting the market, but there are certainly a few, and then many good depth pieces behind that.
One of the most interesting ones will be wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who signed with the Saints back in...

Saints will be the final team to hire a head coach for 2025
The Dallas Cowboys announced they hired Brian Schottenheimer as their head coach late Friday evening, meaning the New Orleans Saints are now the only team that remains looking for a head coach. They ended up playing the long game, and chose to wait out the other teams to get their choice of the remaining candidates. While this is a decision that could go either way, many of the candidates they did interview still remain which is a somewhat good sign.
The other six teams and their head coaching hires are as follows:
One positive is Liam Coen moving on from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as...
