Nick Saban had somewhere to be, but golf partner Mark Ingram wasn’t having it.

Saban was recounting when he and Ingram finished second to Georgia Tech pair Paul Johnson and Jon Berry in the 2015 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge at Reynolds Lake Oconee Resort outside Atlanta.

“We were in the playoff with Georgia Tech to win on about the fifth extra hole,” Saban said. “I said, ‘Mark, this is my last hole. I have to go speak.’ There are whole load of people at the plane and they’re all calling every five minutes saying, ‘We’ve got a 1,000 people you got to speak to tonight. We’re going to be late.’”

The NFL offseason is here, and free agency follows closely behind as it is only a month away approximately. With that, we have some time to take a look back at the 2024 offseason for the New Orleans Saints and grade some of their signings and departures based on whether or not they were good decisions.

One of the Saints’ few signings last offseason was defensive back Will Harris, who left the Detroit Lions in search of a new team, and ended up landing with New Orleans. Here is how his 2024 season went, how the contract panned out, and a grade for the signing:

The 2025 offseason has begun, and the New Orleans Saints kicked it off by hiring the 19th head coach in their franchise history, Kellen Moore. Now they are somewhat stuck in a waiting game until free agency, as aside from hiring the remaining coaching staff, they do not have a whole lot to do until signings begin.

With this time available, it gives us a chance to look back at the 2024 offseason as well and determine the good and bad from the departures and arrivals that occurred. With only a few signings occurring, and cap space limited, there were some significant players who moved on...

Saints free agent ranked as a fringe-top 10 talent at his position

A certain New Orleans Saints cornerback that is headed for free agency is receiving some mixed reviews on where he stands in player rankings at his position.

Some people, like Bill Belichick for example, have Paulson Adebo as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. That isn’t the same for everybody, though. Dan Pizzuta of 33rdTeam recently released is ranking of the top 100 players available and Adebo was ranked fairly low within in position group at No. 10. Here is how the cornerback rankings shaped up:

So not only does he barely crack the top 10, there is a large gap between him and...

Could former Saint-turned-Super Bowl champion return to New Orleans?

With Kellen Moore taking over as the New Orleans Saints head coach, it’s only natural to start questioning what players from his previous stop may follow him.

The Wright Way Network has identified three Philadelphia Eagles free agents who Moore should try to bring with him. The list attacks positions of need, but there’s one player that feels like an extreme long shot: Zack Baun.

Everyone on the New Orleans side would gladly welcome Baun back, but why would he want to return? This isn’t about holding on to bad feelings, either. Baun just had the best year of his career with Vic Fangio...

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.

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.

How the Saints can get under the rising NFL salary cap, with or without Derek Carr

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...

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.

NFL informs teams of increase in 2025 cap space

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...

NFL shares an unprecedented spike in salary cap estimates for 2025

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...

Kellen Moore makes his first coordinator hire for the New Orleans Saints

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...
