The New Orleans Saints underwent some profound change at the wide receiver position in the 2018 offseason, signing slot presence Cameron Meredith away from the Chicago Bears, letting Willie Snead go free to the Baltimore Ravens, and re-signing trusted reserve option Brandon Coleman.

Head coach Sean Payton says the retention of Coleman and the departure of Snead were not related, and that he expected that the organization would keep Coleman for what will be his fifth NFL season.

“It was part of the plan,” Payton said this offseason of Coleman’s signing. “I spoke to him [a week before he was signed]. He’s definitely someone that’s been important for us and will be important going into the season.”

Almost every position can be upgraded on the roster, but the Saints should fix their offensive and defensive lines first if they want any success in 2025 and beyond. This is something head coach Kellen Moore has stated multiple times, and there are some great options to improve the lines. One of these prospects is Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham, who is visiting with the Saints this week, per Jeremy Fowler.

Under former New Orleans Saints HC and current Chicago Bears DC Dennis Allen, it was rare we’d know who the QB2 behind Derek Carr would be until game day. Amidst Carr’s absence in 2024, there was even uncertainty over the starter between Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener for a stretch of the season, with decisions often being made after the last practice of the week—something that didn’t sit well with the fan base. However, new head coach Kellen Moore intends to redefine the backup quarterback role in New Orleans.

During the NFL’s annual head coach meetings, Moore was asked whether he plans...

On Tuesday, the NFL announced it will adopt Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology to electronically measure all first downs throughout the 2025 season, keeping the traditional chain gang on the sidelines as a backup.

After years of rumblings about this change, the league tested the system during the 2024 preseason and ran it behind the scenes during regular season games, ultimately opting to make it the primary method of measurement. The optical tracking technology is expected to provide a more accurate and modern way to determine the line to gain.

Currently, the New Orleans Saints have a major question mark over their quarterback's future. With Derek Carr's situation heading into a breakup next offseason and not really any answer behind the veteran quarterback, the Saints need to consider their options in the draft. This could happen at any point in the draft, but all that matters is New Orleans bringing in a rookie quarterback this offseason. One of these potential prospects is Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. His draft stock has skyrocketed throughout the offseason, and some believe it can be like Bo Nix last year. The Saints...
