Just like last season, the Saints have a favorable strength of schedule going into the new league year. They're tied with the Falcons for the easiest one, with opponents coming in at 131-158 (.453). Naturally, this doesn't mean much, as last year was a perfect example of it. Teams typically improve in the offseason, and New Orleans saw plenty of that firsthand. The Saints have been on the opposite side of the coin with a Top-3 tough schedule (2013, 2018) and came out fine, so while it's a stat, it's not always one that means much.

The Saints face seven playoff teams from 2024, which include the Chiefs, Browns, Rams, Eagles, Packers, Cowboys and Bucs. New Orleans has a second place schedule based off their finish last season. They'll face five new head coaches this year too: Jim Harbaugh (Chargers), Antonio Pierce (Raiders), Dave Canales (Panthers), Dan Quinn (Commanders) and Raheem Morris (Falcons). ...

Predicting the Saints' starting offense following the 2024 NFL draft

  • News source: John Sigler

It’s no secret that the New Orleans Saints’ offense wasn’t good enough last season. They struggled to protect the quarterback, establish the run, pick up third downs, and end drives with touchdowns, among other things successful units around the league do each week. And there hasn’t been a ton of turnover for them on offense this spring, either. The Saints are gambling on massive changes to the offensive coaching staff to lead to better results, not big changes to the starting lineup.

Maybe that’s the right approach. If Klint Kubiak can be a league-average play caller after Pete Carmichael was the NFL’s worst, that might be enough for the Saints to score more points and win more games in 2024. Either way, we’re expecting most of the starting lineup to return for 2023. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for change:

NEW ORLEANS — The De La Salle Cavaliers have won the first season of Saints Girls High School Flag Football. The team beat Academy of Our Lady Penguins 19-0 at the Brees Family Field on the campus of The Willow School last Saturday.

Both teams were awarded medals by Saints legend Tyrone Hughes to celebrate their season.

NFL analyst says Saints signed a top-10 undrafted free agent rookie class

  • News source: John Sigler
  • Replies: 0

There aren’t many teams that can match the New Orleans Saints’ success in recruiting, developing, and leaning on undrafted talent. Just in recent years we’ve seen former rookie free agents like Rashid Shaheed, J.T. Gray, Carl Granderson, Juwan Johnson, Deonte Harty and Wil Lutz earn starting jobs and even Pro Bowl recognition after not hearing their names called during the NFL draft.

And this year’s crop has a lot of potential, too. FantasyPros’ Thor Nystrom is one of the best at evaluating the draft each year, and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who more thoroughly studies the...

Pro Football Network says safety is Saints' biggest remaining weakness

Which positions look weakest on the New Orleans Saints’ depth chart? There’s still time to add reinforcements before training camp and the start of the 2024 season, but their options are limited with the biggest free agent signings and the NFL draft behind us.

According to Pro Football Network’s Dakota Randall, the Saints’ biggest remaining weakness is safety. Here’s why:

It’s a little late to start planning for the future after the draft, and it’s not like the Saints haven’t signed anyone. They brought in veteran defensive back Will Harris while re-signing other experienced backups like...

The NFL is set to release the entire 2024 schedule in a few days on Thursday, May 9th. We know all the New Orleans Saints opponents for next year, but we don’t know when they’ll play each team, so today I’m going to pick out the five games that I think would make the best season opener for the Saints 2024 season.

Saints 2024 opponents:

Home: Falcons, Panthers, Buccaneers, Browns, Broncos, Raiders, Rams, Commanders, Eagles

Away: Falcons, Panthers, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Giants

The game I’m going to start off with is the Saints traveling to Kansas City to take on...

Anonymous NFL executive comments on Spencer Rattler's 'image concerns'

Why did Spencer Rattler fall into the fifth round of this year’s NFL draft? The New Orleans Saints made a great value pick by selecting him at No. 150 overall, but he was projected to go much higher. Reporting during and after the draft cited character concerns and suggested Rattler’s less-than-flattering appearance on a Netflix documentary when he was in high school had rattled some teams.

But that’s a narrative many of Rattler’s supporters have worked to unravel, including his former coach at South Carolina, Shame Beamer. Whatever immaturity and arrogance that may have been perceived...

Why the Saints drafted them: Rounds 6 & 7

  • News source: Caleb_Yaccarino
  • Replies: 0

Rounds 6 and 7 of the NFL Draft are considered a time to get special team contributors. Instead, the New Orleans Saints drafted a defensive tackle who can contribute immediately and an offensive tackle prospect with fantastic potential.

Being this late of a draft pick brings a lack of expectations. This is a little different with defensive tackle Khristian Boyd. The Saints came into the NFL Draft with a significant need for a nose tackle. They needed a player who could stop the run and take double teams so Bryan Bresee could have a one-on-one. At 6-foot-4, 317 pounds, Boyd is the perfect...

Projecting the Saints' starting defense following the 2024 NFL draft

Week 1 is months away, but there’s potential for change this summer. We’re projecting the New Orleans Saints’ starting defense following the 2024 NFL draft, having accounted for the team’s free agent pickups and rookie draft picks. The Saints also lost multiple backups and key rotation players in free agency like cornerback Isaac Yiadom, defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, and linebacker Zack Baun as well as starting safety Marcus Maye. Dennis Allen’s defense is going to look at least a little different.

So what’s different? What stayed the same? Here’s our take on which players could be introduced first when the Who Dat Nation gathers at the Caesars Superdome in September:
