By Rick Cleveland- Mississippi Today
Probably the biggest surprise in the recent NFL Draft came in the fifth round when the New Orleans Saints, who just last year signed veteran quarterback Derek Carr to a four-year, $150 million contract, chose South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler.
The Saints hadn’t been expected to take a quarterback. Rattler had been expected to go much higher.
At least one expert, a former New Orleans Saints quarterback and a Mississippi legend, believes the drafting of Rattler was a wise choice by his hometown team.
“I like Spencer,” Archie Manning said recently. “I like him as a person and as a player. I can’t wait to see what he does for the Saints.”
Rattler, an Arizona native, played college ball first at Oklahoma and then for the past two seasons at South Carolina. Manning knows Rattler best from when he was a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy the summer between Oklahoma and South Carolina.

Raiders signing longtime Saints offensive lineman Andrus Peat
The New Orleans Saints made a big bet that their offensive line will be just fine without Andrus Peat, and we’re about to see whether it pays off. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Las Vegas Raiders are signing Peat as a free agent after the 2024 draft. The Saints drafted Peat back in 2015, out of Stanford, and he went on to earn three Pro Bowl nods as an alternate.
Peat arguably saved the Saints’ season by replacing Trevor Penning at left tackle after six disastrous starts in 2023, which was a bit of a surprise. He hadn’t played that position since the 2018 regular season...

Who would you say was the sleeper pick of the New Orleans Saints’ 2024 draft class, who could climb the depth chart and help out on game days? With the Saints spending so many of their 2025 draft picks on Day 3, in the later rounds, there are plenty of options to choose from. There will be many rookies starting at the bottom of the roster and working to make their own luck.
But some have landed in better circumstances than others, with a real path to dressing out and making plays on game days. According to Doug Farrar over at Touchdown Wire, that’s former Pittsburgh Panthers wideout Bub...

Derek Carr picked as one of the NFL's worst starting quarterbacks
There’s going to be 32 quarterbacks starting games in the NFL this fall, but a couple of backups and injury situations make things more complicated when you try to rank them all top-to-bottom. And that quandary didn’t do Derek Carr any favors. When Touchdown Wire’s Jarrett Bailey ranked the top 36 quarterbacks in the NFL, he put the New Orleans Saints’ $150 million man all the way down at No. 26.
Which made Carr one of the game’s worst starters (not counting rookies), ahead of guys like Will Levis (No. 28), Deshaun Watson (No. 31), Bryce Young (No. 32), and Carr’s surprise replacement on...

Saints sign UDFA Kyle Hergel
The New Orleans Saints have signed Kyle Hergel, an offensive lineman from Boston College, as an undrafted free agent. He is one of 15 UDFA’s for the Saints.
Before attending Boston College, Hergal attended Texas State from 2021-2022, and North Dakota from 2018-2021. He has 54 career starts in that span, allowing only five sacks and 32 pressures. Hergel plays on the interior, and even has some experience at center, as he played there during the East-West Shrine Bowl. He was named the FCS newcomer of the year in 2019, All-Sun Belt second team in 2022, All-Sun Belt third team in 2022, and...

Getting to know new Saints QB Spencer Rattler
Yes, you’re reading the title correctly. With the 150th pick, the New Orleans Saints took South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler. New Orleans now has five quarterbacks on the roster.

Rattler would transfer to South Carolina before the start of the 2022 season. He would start in 25 games and gather 6,212 passing...

It looks like we’re in for a competitive New Orleans Saints training camp. Right now, the team has 91 players on its 90-man roster (not counting International Pathway kicker Charlie Smyth, who has a roster exemption) after the signing of free agent defensive back Will Harris, so someone is going to be waived soon to maintain compliance with NFL rules.
But this is part of the process leading up to roster cuts in September, when the Saints will have to whittle down their depth chart from 90 names to just 53. And everyone is preparing for this summer’s training camp with different stakes. Some of them are locks to make the team. Others are long shots. And there’s a sizeable group in the middle, on the roster bubble, whose future could go either way.
Let’s break it down further by position groups, with rookies’ names underlined for emphasis:

Exclusive interview: Kyle Sheets talks signing with Saints, D-II football, and more
The New Orleans Saints have some openings at the wide receiver position, with several undrafted rookies who can make a compelling case to round out the depth chart. The team brought in Slippery Rock receiver Kyle Sheets to compete for one of those spots after the 2024 draft. He’s a strong candidate having finished his college career with 154 receptions, 2,440 receiving yards, and 29 touchdown catches. At 6-foot-3 and 217 pounds with a

The last time New Orleans Saints made it to the playoffs, Drew Brees was their quarterback. That was 2020. The last three years New Orleans has been a mediocre team that hovers around a .500 winning percentage. Will this be the year they end their playoff drought? Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon gave reasons why New Orleans will succeed or fail in this endeavor.
My prediction is the Saints will find themselves outside of the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. While the Klint Kubiak system is designed to be quarterback-friendly, Derek Carr has struggled in his first year of multiple...
