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...

Gayle Benson is one of more in-demand public figures during Super Bowl LIX week in New Orleans. The owner of the Saints and Pelicans is not only the face of some of the more upscale parties of the week, she…

All signs point to the New Orleans Saints hiring Kellen Moore as head coach once the Philadelphia Eagles are finished in Super Bowl LIX, but who would be calling his defense? Moore has said he’d continue calling plays on offense, if he’s hired as a head coach somewhere (like New Orleans), so it’s critical that he get the defensive coordinator hire right. Whether it’s an experienced assistant, a former head coach, or someone younger with a fresh perspective, finding the right fit on the other side of the ball may determine if Moore lasts. Assuming the Saints do hire him, afte rall.

With that in mind, we’ve ranked five candidates for the job from most- to least-likely:

It’s 5:30 p.m. Friday, and the Old Absinthe House is starting to peak.

The New Orleans Saints have cleared house on their coaching staff, as they now have vacancies at most of the major positions. One of the ones that most recently opened up was at defensive coordinator, as Joe Woods has left for the Las Vegas Raiders to join Pete Carroll’s staff.

The likely scenario here is that the Saints have chosen to let many of their coaches seek out other positions, laterally or otherwise, to allow whoever their new head coach may be to select their own staff altogether. Given Kellen Moore is the frontrunner for the position as of now, he has received much speculation...

The Chiefs and Eagles are set to face off in less than a week. Looking at the rosters is a good way to attempt to predict a winner, and after already comparing the Chiefs and Eagles offenses, the defense is now the focus.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded their top cornerback in the off season, and many, including myself, believed it would be a massive hit to their defense. Trent McDuffie stepped up this season as the top CB on the roster, but the Chiefs pass defense still struggled throughout the year. Regarding the safeties, Justin Reid has been a great addition since signing with Kansas...

Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans is almost here with the Philadelphia Eagles set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs, who are looking for their 3rd consecutive championship. Meanwhile, this will be the Eagles second trip in three years.

In this week’s SB Nation Reacts Survey, we asked fans vote on their thoughts on the over/under for the big game in the Big Easy.


Either way, it will be a good game between two talented teams. Who will win? I don't know but we will soon find out as the 2024 NFL season comes to a conclusion on Sunday night in the Caesars Superdome.

Check out all the odds at...

As the attention on Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is in full focus this week in New Orleans before Super Bowl LIX, many local media members have been able to get a gauge for what he thinks of the Saints organization and more specifically, his thoughts on quarterback Derek Carr.

Moore, as a former Boise State standout, was asked about his matchup with Carr back in college, (a 57-7 blowout win for his Broncos) but quickly shifted to give praise to Carr and his body of work in the league.

“I’ve known Derek for a long time, tons of respect for him as a quarterback in...

How much longer will Demario Davis play for the New Orleans Saints? He gave a definitive answer to Matt Moscona for After Further Review: “My goal is to do three more years and then I’m out of here.”

Davis is in an interesting place in both his career and his positioning with the team. The Saints are more than likely going into a youth movement. Davis remains one of the best players on the Saints’ defense. If there were a veteran to predict would be safe, it’s him. There’s still the unpredictability factor of a new coach wanting to clean house.

For the first time in five years, Davis...

Here's what we heard in New Orleans on Myles Garrett, Cooper Kupp, Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen and the NFL offseason.

If the New Orleans Saints hire Kellen Moore as the next head coach, they’ll get a positive review from Rashid Shaheed. When asked about Moore, Shaheed called him a “genius,” per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill.

Shaheed is working his way back from injury, but he along with Chris Olave are two of the most attractive pieces for an offensive minded head coach. They’re two young, dynamic receivers.

New Orleans is getting a complete overhaul this year. Klint Kubiak joined the Seattle Seahawks, so there will be a change of system even if Moore isn’t the coach. Shaheed has studied the...

With Kellen Moore likely becoming the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints, many have wondered what a Moore-led staff would look like.

During yesterday’s media availability, Moore was asked about his younger brother Kirby who just finished his second season as the offensive coordinator for the Missouri Tigers. Kellen Moore had some high praise for his brother’s accomplishments while noting the potential for more opportunities in the near future.

If hired by New Orleans, Moore will be expected to put his coaching staff together immediately. Already behind schedule with hires being...

The NFL offseason is nearly upon us, as the only thing standing in the way between teams and beginning their roster management is the Super Bowl, held in New Orleans. This gives us a little bit of time to look back in retrospect and cover the New Orleans Saints free agent signings from 2024, but also take a look at those players they let walk.

One of the more intriguing players they let go was defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, who was an exceptional run defender with them, but they chose not to pay and he would move on to the Denver Broncos. Here is how things have played out for his career...
