The New Orleans Saints are hiring former Philadelphia Eagles director of sports science Ted Rath as their next director of sports science, per a report by Tom Pelissero.

Rath comes to New Orleans with 15 years of NFL coaching and conditioning experience. From 2009-2015, he was the assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Detroit Lions. While with the Lions, Rath helped to start the annual Detroit Lions Strength and Conditioning Clinic in 2011, which was a forum for providing, sharing and exchanging information in the strength and conditioning community.

After spending one season...

The NFL shared some good news for the New Orleans Saints (and every other team) on Wednesday, with an updated range of estimates for the 2025 salary cap. Their latest projections put this year’s spending limit at between $278.5 and $281.5 million, which is another huge leap in the years since the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cap to plummet. It’s also a nice bump over everyone’s expectations, which previously had the cap settling at about $272 million. Every dollar counts.

But the Saints’ biggest offseason decisions won’t change just because of an extra $5 million. First-year head coach...

Would playing Spencer Rattler automatically mean a top-5 pick or so in the 2026 NFL Draft? Would the Saints even consider eating Carr’s full salary?

The New Orleans Saints will officially promote Phil Galiano as their special teams coordinator, per reports.

Galiano has been with the team since 2019, where he served as the Saints’ assistant special teams coordinator under Darren Rizzi. Last season, after Dennis Allen was let go and Rizzi moved into the interim head coach position, Galiano took over special team coordinator duties.

That move will now become permanent as new head coach Kellen Moore has started putting together his staff and building toward the future.

The New Orleans Saints are once again last in cap space going into the offseason. This means some important contract decisions must be made, and getting to the positive may not be as straightforward as before. The Saints will need as much help as they can get, and a little relief came today as the league just announced that cap space will see a massive rise in 2025.

This new cap number would be around a $22-$26 million increase from 2024. If the cap number settles around $229 million, New Orleans will be in the negative by $47 million before contract restructures.

Obviously, every dollar...

The New Orleans Saints have been dealt a strong hand again when it comes to clearing their cap space, as this NFL offseason will see a larger-than-anticipated salary cap jump once again. As reported by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, the salary cap is going to settle between $277.5 million to $281.5 million.

This number is much higher than the projection by OverTheCap, which had it set at $272.5 million. So, this leaves the Saints with more cap space than they could have hoped for, as they sat at $54,182,537 over the limit according to those projections.

If the salary cap goes to...

The New Orleans Saints were one of the most injured teams in the NFL, and so they are making changes to their sports science staff in an attempt to get healthier.

For the second straight year, the NFL’s salary cap came in higher than expected — news that the New Orleans Saints will surely enjoy.

The New Orleans Saints have been managing to fill out their staff under Kellen Moore ever since his hiring, but the key three roles at each coordinator spot have been left open until now. The first coordinator spot has been filled, and it is a somewhat expected choice, with assistant special teams coach Phil Galiano being promoted to special teams coordinator, as was reported by The MMQB’s Albert Breer.

Galiano has been with the Saints since 2019 in his previous role, and after the firing of Dennis Allen and promotion of Darren Rizzi, he and Marwan Maalouf split some of the...

The New Orleans Saints continue to fill out Kellen Moore’s staff with intriguing assistants. The latest, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, is Ted Rath as the director of sports science.

Rath has held a number of roles in the NFL, mostly as a trainer and on the strength and conditioning staff. That’s where he overlapped with head coach Kellen Moore on the Detroit Lions for a few years; Moore was a backup quarterback at the time while Rath worked as an assistant strength and conditioning coach. He was out of football in 2024, but was most recently the Philadelphia Eagles director of sports...

The New Orleans Saints are finalizing a deal with Phil Galiano to make him the team's next special teams coordinator, a source with knowledge of the situation said.

The NFL is a small world, and it’s not too uncommon for players and coaches to have known each other before teaming up — but it’s unusual for a former teammate to be the one on your headset. That’s an experience several players reflected on when the New Orleans Saints announced Kellen Moore was becoming their new head coach.

Cornerback Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year who was drafted the same year Moore turned pro, said seeing the former Boise State quarterback being a head coach made him feel old.

That sentiment hit closer to home for Darius Slay, another...

The New Orleans Saints have seen quite a bit of change in the past few weeks.

The last remnants of the Sean Payton era have left the building, and it feels as though the Saints are finally entering a new beginning.

So, it would be fitting that a new addition to the uniform may be on the way this fall.

The NFL altered the uniform rules in 2024 allowing all teams to have a 3rd helmet. We’ve seen quite a few varieties for teams with two helmets over the years, the most often used of those being a throwback uniform. The Saints have used those in the past, and most recently have adopted a...

Kellen Moore has a lot of work to do in getting the New Orleans Saints back to contention in the NFC, and some commentators think that task is going to prove too much for him. Just ask Colin Cowherd. During an appearance on his “The Herd” sports talk show, Cowherd made it clear he doesn’t have high expectations for Moore in New Orleans.

“Eh, he’ll be fine. They don’t have any cap room. They’ve got a lot of issues. I think that’s gonna be, for the next couple years, a dead franchise,” Cowherd shrugged.

When asked if Moore could have a winning record by Year 4, he rejected that notion: “Oh...
