After last preseason cut short by knee injury, new Saints target Cameron Meredith in recovery
By Joel Erickson -- Advocate
Curtis Johnson has seen what Cameron Meredith can be.
The body of a red-zone weapon, the nimble feet of the short, quick players that populate the slot for many teams.
When all systems are fully operational, Meredith presents a diverse array of problems for defensive backs, as he did in his breakout 2016 season in Chicago, when Johnson was Meredith's position coach.

Day 2 of the NFL Draft: Winners and Losers
After the first round was complete, teams around the league still needed to do more work and make some great picks on day 2 of the NFL Draft. Although some teams succeeded with this, other teams did not.

Recapping the Saints 2025 NFL Draft Class
With 9 picks over 3 days, the New Orleans Saints managed to fill several positions of need with their 2025 NFL Draft class.

It seems like forever ago, and in a lot of ways it was, but it was 2.5 years ago that the New Orleans Saints traded defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson. That trade finalizes during the 2025 NFL Draft, believe it or not, so we can finally wrap a bow on it.
The draft orders for all of those picks were eventually decided, so here are where they all settled:
New Orleans included the 2023 fifth-round pick to the Chicago Bears as part of a package to move up and select guard Nick Saldiveri. Saldiveri has struggled to find playing time, logging just 362 offensive snaps through his first two...

Day 1 of the NFL Draft: Winners and Losers
Throughout time, NFL teams have made massive mistakes or impeccable moves throughout the draft, but this matters the most in the first round, and this year was no different.
Trading up is always a risk in the NFL Draft, especially when giving up a future first to make it happen, but this is a different scenario. The Jacksonville Jaguars had an opportunity lined up to give up their first this year (#5), a second (#36), a fourth (#126), and a 2026 first rounder for the Cleveland Browns’ first (#2), a fourth (#104), and a sixth (#200). The reason the Jags made this trade was to select star...
