The New Orleans Saints are entering the last week of their season, which means that the offseason is right around the corner. At 5-11 and without a real identity for the future, the Saints are in a weird spot. A rebuild is likely to start soon, so they likely won’t be bringing a lot of pending free agents back.

There are three types of free agents:

  • UFA: Unrestricted free agents who can entertain offers from other teams, but who are eligible for the franchise tag
  • RFA: Restricted free agents who the Saints can match offers for from other teams
  • ERFA: Exclusive rights free agents who can only play for the Saints on a minimum salary

So keep that in mind as we run through the list of 21 pending free agents for New Orleans:

Hard to believe it’s already over but yes, it is Week 18, and the New Orleans Saints (5-11) will close out the 2024 season on the road to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7) in Raymond James Stadium.

The Saints head into this season ending matchup after losing at home to the Las Vegas Raiders (25-10). Meanwhile, the Bucs defeated the Carolina Panthers (48-14) on Sunday afternoon and are still fighting for the divison and a playoff spot.

According to FanDuel, the Saints are currently 13.5-point underdogs against the Bucs. The over/under is currently 43.5 points but there is sure to be...

Ups and downs from Saints vs. Raiders

The New Orleans Saints were embarrassed on Sunday losing to the then 3-11 Las Vegas Raiders. Unfortunately for the Saints, their draft position didn't improve and there wasn't much good to build on. With one game left in the season, New Orleans football is coming to an end for the season, for the better or worse.

Sunday’s loss at home may be Jordan’s final game in the Superdome as the veteran is nearing retirement. Jordan would lead the Who Dat chant in pregame then light the dome up after back-to-back plays, which included a sack. The rest of the day for the Saints legend would be pretty...

The New Orleans Saints signed defensive end Chase Young to a prove-it deal this past offseason and some believe he has done enough to cash in once he hits free agency again in 2025.

Bucky Brooks of NFL.com recently highlighted seven impending free agents that he believed would ‘break the bank’ next season with new contracts and Young was among the players named. This is what Brooks had to say about his prediction.

Young has been an interesting case. He has generated the most pressure of anyone on the defense, and the second-most of his career, but it is still hard to really consider this...

B/R has an ideal candidate in mind for the Saints head coach search

Aaron Glenn is a name you’ll hear frequently connected to the New Orleans Saints The Saints have moved on from Dennis Allen and Darren Rizzi’s replacement bid loses steam by the week. Glenn just feels like the most obvious candidate. Beyond being the most obvious, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox sees Glenn as the ideal fit for New Orleans.

The reason you’ll see Glenn-to-New Orleans so frequently is his coaching history in New Orleans. Though a valid take, it’s so easy that it can come off as lazy at times.

Knox avoided that pitfall, took it a step further and articulated what makes...

Saints add explosive Missouri wide receiver in 2025 NFL mock draft

With the New Orleans Saints seemingly locked into another year of Derek Carr under center and in a bad spot to draft a quarterback, could they instead opt to add more weapons for Carr to work with in the 2025 NFL draft?

That’s what Ian Valentino of 33rd Team had them do in a recent mock draft, choosing Missouri Tigers wide receiver Luther Burden III with the No. 10 overall selection. This is what Valentino had to say about his choice:

Burden has had up-and-down production in college, but should still be considered an elite wide receiver prospect. The playmaker has 192 catches for 2,263...

B/R calls New Orleans the best landing spots for two incoming rookies

Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski has two receivers who are perfect fits in New Orleans: Ole Miss star Tre Harris and Utah State standout Jalen Royals.

The lack of depth in the New Orleans Saints wide receiver room exposed itself in 2024. The room was clearly carried by Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed coming into the season. Both of those players have dealt with injuries that ended their season or cost them a large amount of time.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been a good midseason addition and should be considered for next year’s roster, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Saints...

The NFL announced its finalized slate of Week 18 games, including the regular season finale between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for Noon CT/1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 5.

It’s not surprising to see the Saints relegated to an early time slot in a low-profile day of games; they’ve been eliminated from the playoffs and have been outscored 59-10 over their last two losses. These NFC South rivalry games are always intense but there are more compelling matchups to put in the spotlight.

Still, the Saints have plenty of reasons to...

The New Orleans Saints came into this game coming off one of their worst losses in recent franchise history after losing 34-0 to the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. But just one week later, the Saints followed up that embarrassing loss with another getting dominated by the 4-12 Las Vegas Raiders.

The Saints are touting a wide receiver core of a big chunk of players that weren't on the team in week one. After losing promising stars Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, the lack of depth in the wide receiver room for New Orleans became a glaring problem. Receivers were dropping balls...
