Filling in for Ingram

By Mike Detillier / Sports Correspondent

New Orleans Saints halfback Mark Ingram was suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season after what the NFL titled a violation of the league’s performance enhancing drug policy.

We will eventually find out from Ingram that exact nature of the offense, but at this moment, his chances to defeat the NFL on the four-game suspension are very low.

Last season, Ingram and rookie star back Alvin Kamara gave the Saints the best combination at halfback in the NFL.

After struggling with injuries and inconsistent running between the tackles, Ingram has emerged the past two seasons as a top inside runner and receiver coming out of the backfield.

Last season, Ingram accounted for 1,540 total yards, averaged 96 yards per game and scored 12 touchdowns.

Saints free agent rejoining his former coach may be his 'best fit'

Juwan Johnson will be a free agent this upcoming offseason, and there should be serious conversation on whether or not the New Orleans Saints should look to retain Johnson.

If Johnson looks to go elsewhere in free agency, there is one destination in particular that could feel just like home.

The 33rd Team’s Tyler Brooke sees Johnson’s “best fit” with the Denver Broncos. This would entail Johnson following the footsteps of former teammates Wil Lutz, Adam Trautman, Tre’Quan Smith, Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Lucas Krull and others by joining former head coach Sean Payton.

The New Orleans Saints will be sitting at home on Sunday while a former draft pick leads his team’s defense during Super Bowl LIX. It’s one of the top things on that former players mind.

Zack Baun spent four years as a rotational player with the Saints only to break out into a first team All-Pro linebacker in his first campaign with the Philadelphia Eagles. Baun has not been quiet about his struggles, both on the field and mentally, during his time in New Orleans. Local Eagles writer Michael Greger asked the linebacker what it feels like going back to the city.

“I think it’s poetic. It’s...

Cameron Jordan, Mark Ingram, Connor Payton and a crazy 2011 draft story

Former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton peeled back the curtain to give a look into the mindset of the New Orleans Saints going into the 2011 NFL draft. That year the Saints walked away with Mark Ingram II and Cameron Jordan in the first round.

Payton crashed Ingram and Jordan’s interview with Kay Adams and immediately relayed this story of drafting both players in a story involving Payton’s son Connor, who was in fifth grade at the time.

New Orleans always had their eyes set on Mark Ingram. Payton was so confident that he told his son they were targeting Ingram days before the...

The New Orleans Saints aren’t in the best position to grab a lot of talent in free agency or through trade this offseason due to being cash strapped. Bleacher Report’s scouting department does have a couple of players New Orleans could trade for.

The department broke down the three top trade targets for each team. For the Saints, they chose draft picks, David Ojabo and Mazi Smith. Trading for one of the two former Michigan Wolverines are the type of moves that New Orleans may have to settle for. Bleacher Report’s scouts see these defensive linemen as players with “a high ceiling and could...

Super Bowl media week has been a great opportunity to hear about lots of different topics regarding former and current Saints players. One of the more recent discussions happened with 2024 rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who was asked what Jalen Hurts impressed on him when they were together for a year at Oklahoma, and what he learned about him.

Rattler had high praise for him: “Yeah, you know I was only around him for a year, but it was a great year for me to learn. I was a young guy, obviously he was a proven guy in college, and exactly what he was doing back then he’s doing now...

3 QB-needy teams that could trade for embattled Saints starter Derek Carr

  • News source: John Sigler

It’s looking more and more likely that Derek Carr will be back with the New Orleans Saints in 2025. It’ll be tough for the Saints to get under the salary cap without restructuring his contract, and the measures they’ll need to take if they cut him are a really tough sell. Their only other option is to trade him, but that would be very difficult — the Saints gave Carr a no-trade clause when he signed with them back in 2023 and they’ll need him to sign off on a move elsewhere. He wouldn’t do it for the Raiders a few years ago. Don’t expect him to help the Saints.

When you look at the teams that ranked among the league’s worst passing offenses this season, most of them have young quarterbacks (the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, and Carolina Panthers), are picking high in the upcoming draft (the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans), or don’t need to throw much thanks to their reliable running game (the Philadelphia Eagles). So we’re left with few obvious suitors. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any teams that make sense. Let’s highlight three possible fits, but first argue why Carr is (or is not) appealing in the first place:

NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees has a unique understanding of how quickly things can change for a franchise.

The free agent quarterback signed a six-year deal with the New Orleans Saints in March 2006, nearly two months after the team introduced former Dallas Cowboys assistant Sean Payton as its new coach.

In their fourth season together, Brees and Payton lifted the Lombardi Trophy following a Super Bowl victory.

WWL's Sports Reporter Seth Lewis caught up with Brees and discussed, among other things, Saints head coaching candidate Kellen Moore, who is the offensive coordinator for the...
