Make no mistake, Taysom Hill has to feel pretty good going into the 2018 season. He will undoubtedly have to beat out Tom Savage to win the backup job. Also, with the acquisition of J.T. Barrett, it’s likely to be a battle for that backup position. Nevertheless, Hill has the coaches’ eyes and some experience being with the team for a solid year.

The fact that the Saints didn’t select a quarterback, has to instill some confidence in Hill. Surely, Who Dat Nation was salivating in round one, when the Saints traded up to move to the 14th overall pick. The thought was that the Saints were going to pick a quarterback. That’s the usual scenario when a team moves up and gives up a couple of draft picks.

Tyrann Mathieu salary: How much money did Saints FS make this season?

While a lot of the conversation around the New Orleans Saints is focused on the future, there are a handful of veterans that will still be around and won’t be content with tanking.

One such player is veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu, who just wrapped up his third season with the Saints and 12th in the NFL. He may not be the ‘honey badger’ anymore, but he was still one of the few players on the defense that was a true playmaker last season.

Mathieu finished the year with 62 tackles, one of which went for a loss. He was tied for the team lead in interceptions with three. In all three...

New Orleans could be the site where Super Bowl history is made

The “three-peat”. An elusive statistic where a team is able to complete three championship victories back to back in their respective sport. This is something that does not happen every day, and even the long-time dynasty New England Patriots were unable to complete this task. In the NFL, it has never happened before, and this is the only sport of the “Big Four” in North America to not have a team ever three-peat.

The last North American sports league to have this feat accomplished was the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers, who completed it with their 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons. Next up...

Saints given different rookie tackle in 2024 first round re-draft

The New Orleans Saints had some success with their first round pick Taliese Fuaga last season, but would they still go with him if given another chance today?

That’s the hypothetical that Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport looked at in his recent re-do of the 2024 NFL draft. For the Saints, they now decided to go with Olu Fashanu out of the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Here is what Davenport had to say about the pick:

Fashanu was originally off the board, but the New York Jets now selected J.J. McCarthy this time around. While Fashanu was certainly a more highly-touted prospect than Fuaga at...

The New Orleans Saints are nearing the offseason as the Super Bowl is the only playoff game left to be played and a head coach search reaching its end. With that behind them they will have the chance to work on signing free agents where possible, fixing the cap even further, and trying to retain some of their key contributors. With 19 unrestricted free agents this offseason, they have some decisions to make on who to keep and who to let walk this year, especially if they want to start pursuing other players instead.

We have the chance to talk about one such pending free agent: linebacker...

The New Orleans Saints have a lot of decisions to make this offseason especially when it comes to their roster. Fortunately, it is never too early to start to look at the future especially with this week’s Senior Bowl and the upcoming NFL Draft.

Ove the next few months, the Saints will be taking a hard look at their roster and what positions are most in need of an upgrade, as well as reevaluating some players who are under contract and underperformed and those who are upcoming free agents looking to be re-signed.

That being said, we what to hear from you. What position do you think is...

The New Orleans Saints may be losing another component of their 2024 coaching staff, as quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko was given permission to interview with the Seattle Seahawks. This comes shortly after Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak joined the Seahawks in a lateral move, and Janocko may look to follow him there.

Katherine Terrell of ESPN also reported that, “The Saints would like to keep Janocko, but as they close in on a head coach, they have been letting more coaches interview and leave for lateral positions. Some position coaches were waiting to see if Darren Rizzi...

Saints coaching search hints at Kellen Moore's potential hire

NEW ORLEANS — Here's my take on where the Saints coaching search stands.

The fact that the Saints didn't hire a head coach on Wednesday greatly increases the chances that Kellen Moore will be the team's next head coach.

Because if they were going to hire any of the other three candidates, they could have done it on Wednesday. The Saints cannot officially hire Kellen Moore until after the Super Bowl.

They've finished their in-person interviews with Mike Kafka, Anthony Weaver, and Darren Rizzi. There's no reason to wait if you want to hire any of them.

The only reason to wait is if you...

Former Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is headed back to New Orleans, where he’ll work as a FOX Sports digital correspondent, per Front Office Sports. Winston will be sharing videos highlighting his “favorite dining and entertainment hotspots” in the city throughout the week before Super Bowl LIX.

Winston spent nearly as many years with the Saints (4) as he did with the team that drafted him, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5), though much of his time in New Orleans was spent as a backup. Winston started 10 of the 21 games he appeared in, and clearly made plenty of good memories as a part of...

Shrine Bowl provides Saints many options at a position of need

The East-West Shrine Bowl will air Thursday night. When you sit down to watch the game, you should take your time to focus on the West Team’s defensive tackles.

Specifically, take a look at Indiana’s C.J. West, Boston College’s Cam Horsley and Maryland’s Jordan Philips. Philips is one of two players ESPN’s Jordan Reid called the biggest risers of Shrine Bowl practices.

The New Orleans Saints need a defensive tackle to pair with Bryan Bresee. You’d aim for someone with more run stuffing ability, and all three of these players were described to meet the qualifications prior to practice...

Jahri Evans is a busy man. The New Orleans Saints assistant offensive line coach is working at the Senior Bowl this week, and next week he’ll learn whether or not he’s going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Beyond that, he’ll have to see if the new Saints coaching staff has room for him. Evans was asked about the upcoming changes and the ongoing search for a head coach, which caught him by surprise.

“Oh, wow I wasn’t expecting that,” Evans told reporters after Senior Bowl practice on Tuesday. “Honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about it, y’know I’m here trying to do as much as I can for...
