The New Orleans Saints have waived both QB Kellen Mond and OL Tommy Kraemer, according to a report from Field Yates.

The news comes after the Saints added depth via the NFL Draft to both position groups, so it isn’t a shock to see that New Orleans has moved on.

Mond has bounced around in the early portion of his NFL career, spending time with the Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts since being drafted in 2021.

With the selection of Spencer Rattler, the Saints now have Derek Carr, Jake Haener, Nathan Peterman, Spencer Rattler, and Taysom Hill in the quarterback room.

METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints have trimmed their heavy quarterback roster Wednesday by moving from offseason signee Kellen Mond.

The drafting of Spencer Rattler along with the presence of veteran Nathan Peterman and 2023 draft pick Jake Haener, all to back up starter Derek Carr, made the move necessary.

Mond, who played college ball at Texas A&M, hasn't played in the NFL since 2021 when he threw three passes and completed two for five yards. The Saints signed him a month ago to give the team some depth in training camp and during offseason workouts, but the unexpected signing of...

And then there were four. ESPN’s Field Yates first reported that the New Orleans Saints have waived backup quarterback Kellen Mond, just a few days before the start of rookie minicamp. The Saints were overcrowded at quarterback between Derek Carr, Jake Haener, Nathan Peterman, Mond, and this year’s fifth-round draft pick Spencer Rattler. Someone was going to go.

As we expected, Mond was the first to go. He was also the latest to sign, having arrived in New Orleans just before the 2024 NFL draft (and a month after Peterman). So Peterman will have to make his case for a spot on the Saints...

What’s the move here? The New Orleans Saints were already thin along the offensive line, but on Wednesday they opted to waive backup blocker Tommy Kraemer, per ESPN’s Field Yates. It’s a bit of a surprise after Kraemer played an important role last season, backing up both Cesar Ruiz (at right guard) and Ryan Ramczyk (at right tackle).

But the team’s new coaching staff must feel differently about him, or at least see better options available in free agency. The Saints now have an open spot on the 90-man roster after waiving both Kraemer and quarterback Kellen Mond, so another addition...

After the draft, the New Orleans Saints had either five or six quarterbacks on the roster – depending on whether you counted Taysom Hill, who plays a variety of positions.

After 240 votes, it was the Denver Broncos, earning 50% of the vote. The game against the Broncos will mark Sean Payton’s return to the Superdome after retiring as head coach of the Saints after the 2021 season. This will be Payton’s second season as coach of the Broncos after an underwhelming 2023 season. The Broncos are hoping #12 overall pick Bo Nix is their quarterback of the future, but come Week 1, I would be surprised if he is the starter and not Zach...

Alright, Saints fans, now that the dust has settled and cleared, let’s talk about how the new additions will have an impact to the New Orleans Saints. It may be clear to some who will have a greater opportunity this season, but let’s take a look at the possibilities.

To recap, here are the Saints 2024 NFL Draft selections.

Round 1:

Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State (No. 14 overall)

Round 2:

Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama (41)

Round 5:

Round 6:

Khristian Boyd, DT, Northern Iowa (199)

Round 7:

Josiah Ezirim, OT, Eastern Kentucky (239)




Taliese Fuaga (OT): Round 1

Fuaga started...

The New Orleans Saints entered this offseason with the expectation of finding a starting-caliber offensive tackle to at least compete with former first-round pick Trevor Penning. However, as the offseason progressed the Saints found themselves in a deeper hole than initially thought. Former All-Pro tackle Ryan Ramczyk is on the brink of retirement while dealing with a degenerative knee. The team also was hit with the retirement of offensive lineman James Hurst, who started a total of 51 games in his four seasons with the Saints.

The team did patch at least one of these holes in selecting right tackle Taliese Fuaga in Round 1 of the NFL draft but there is still room to add help along this front five. Whether they want to admit it or not,

There has been a ton of buzz surrounding the fifth round draft pick regarding his future and where he could fit. However, a Saints legend believes he could be the starter.

The New Orleans Saints parted ways with veteran wide receiver Michael Thomas during the 2024 off-season. Thomas, who has been a member of the team since being drafted in 2016, has been to three pro bowls, is a two-time All-Pro, was the 2019 Offensive Player of the Year, and set the NFL record for most receptions in one season.

The Saints traded up in the 2023 draft to select Wake Forest wide receiver A.T. Perry. Perry was a reception machine in college, racking up 152 catches during his final two seasons, averaging just under 6 catches a game. Coming out of college, scouts expressed...

One starter from the New Orleans Saints 2023 offensive line (left guard James Hurst) announced his retirement a few days before the NFL draft.

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:

Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints were very interested in picking current Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 NFL Draft, but they tried to keep their high regard of the Texas Tech product quiet ahead of…
