NEW ORLEANS -- No question that after last year’s bountiful draft for the New Orleans Saints, the 2018 version of let’s take a chance would be scrutinized in a way that no other draft would be.

No matter who the Saints chose this year, the comparison to 2017 would be made, even though none of the players selected starting last Thursday had even taken a snap in the NFL.

So, how did the Saints do in this year’s installment? That all depends on who you ask. The range of grades looks like the report card of a seventh grader going through the change to adulthood: it is all over the map.
ESPN gave the Saints a C+, putting New Orleans just above average.

Bleacher Report, without providing any explanation with its rankings, gave the Saints a D, the lowest in the league along with Oakland and Seattle.
Yahoo and USA Today agreed with Bleacher Report and also rated the New Orleans draft as being D worthy. However, both NFL.com and CBS Sports had the Saints with a grade of B.

The biggest move of the draft for New Orleans came very early. The Saints made a bold move in the first round Thursday, trading next year’s first-rounder to move up and take Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport, a player who filled a need for a pressure player at the right defensive end spot the Saints have been trying to fill long-term for years.

Report: Saints coach 'a name to keep an eye on' in Browns OC search

A new report linked New Orleans Saints coach Klint Kubiak to the Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator search, with The MMQB’s Albert Breer suggesting Kubiak is a candidate “to keep an eye on” with Cleveland gearing up to find Ken Dorsey’s replacement.

We can’t rule out a lateral move with a new head coach coming in. The Saints would probably like to keep Kubiak on staff after he modernized the offense Pete Carmichael carried over from Sean Payton, but whoever they hire to replace Dennis Allen may not feel the same way. If their new head coach — whoever they may be — has a new vision for...

Ryan Ramczyk takes one more step to retirement

Last offseason, New Orleans Saints star right tackle Ryan Ramczyk underwent knee surgery in hopes of returning for the 2024/25 season. Due to the severity of the injury and Ramczyk’s age, the Saints elected to rule the veteran lineman out for the season. This was the first sign that Ryan Ramczyk’s days in the NFL were numbered, and with pictures of his massive weight loss circulating throughout the season, it became expected that Ramczyk would retire after this season. Today, the Saints started their yearly offseason cap gymnastics by restructuring Ramczyk’s contract and freeing $16.7...

The New Orleans Saints have officially closed out their 2024 season, finishing with a 5-12 record. While their season may be over, there is still plenty of work to be done starting with the biggest task: hiring a new head coach.

Over a half a dozen names have already been attached to the team (like Aaron Glenn and Joe Brady) and some interviews have already been set for this week, but this will not be a decision that is made quickly. The Saints have a lot of talent on the team but they have now missed the playoffs for 4 straight seasons so we know they will do their due diligence in...

Opinion: Derek Carr's latest comments come off arrogant and delusional

  • News source: Darrion Gray

Derek Carr recently told ESPN’s Katherine Terrell wasn’t willing to play ball with the New Orleans Saints by taking a pay cut, and that is fine. Players are owed the guaranteed money in their contracts. It’s his rationale that is the issue.

Carr said he doesn’t feel he should take a pay cut, “Especially with what I put on tape,” referring to his level of play this year and last.

That statement comes off extremely full of himself and delusional. This isn’t to call him a terrible quarterback, but that’s a statement that should be reserved for a few elite players at a position. He’s not one...

Former Saints All-Pro effectively signed his retirement papers

It’s a shame Ryan Ramczyk’s career ended this way. The New Orleans Saints’ former All-Pro right tackle effectively signed his retirement papers this week, having missed the entire 2024 season with a chronic knee injury. This was expected even if it’s unpleasant at best.

Per Over The Cap’s Jason Fitzgerald, Ramczyk agreed to waive his $18 million base salary for 2025 while reducing it to the league minimum, which saved the Saints a little more than $16.7 million against the salary cap. He’ll remain on the roster until June 2 with a cap hit of $12.3 million (instead of $29 million before...

Saints' projected salary cap space after Ryan Ramczyk news

Ryan Ramczyk agreed to cut his 2025 salary this week, which sets him up for retirement. But how does it set up the New Orleans Saints and the salary cap? Let’s break it down.

To start, Ramczyk agreed to waive his $18 million base salary for the 2025 season in exchange for the veteran’s minimum at $1,255,000. Because he’s being forced into a medical retirement, he isn’t getting that money either way, but doing it like this gives the Saints immediate savings of about $16.7 million.

That left Ramczyk with a $12.3 million cap hit, and it puts the Saints at roughly $326 million in cap...

Rookie report card: Grading the Saints 2024 draft class at season's end

The New Orleans Saints season had officially come to an end. One of the worst seasons in recent memory that many will look to forget in the coming years. Injury after injury, the firing of a head coach and a fan base in uproar, the only thing that fans could tip their hat to is the play of their young guys.

The Saints 2024 draft class ended the season off on a high note against their rivaled Bucs and gave many hope going into next season. A team that has desperately needed to hit on their drafts in recent years, might have finally hit on some polarizing prospects. From the offensive line to the defensive back room and even at the quarterback position, there is much to be proud of in this years class and maybe even more to look forward to in 2025.

Here’s how the Saints draft class graded out to end the 2024 season:

Contrary to an initial report from FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz, the New Orleans Saints have not requested a head coach interview with Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb. That report was shot down by NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

So why all the fuss about Webb? Just 29 years old, he first played college football behind Baker Mayfield at Texas Tech before transferring to the California Golden Bears once Patrick Mahomes arrived on campus. Webb spent all seven seasons of NFL career in the state of New York, all with either the Giants...
