The New Orleans Saints weren’t worried about Spencer Rattler’s character at all based on his portrayal in a Netflix documentary.

Rattler was on QB1: Beyond the Lights while he was in high school. Maturity and character concerns were paramount, based on that, going into the draft. But, South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer vehemently defended him and the Saints weren’t concerned the least.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler provided more on the team’s decision to draft Rattler in the fifth round.

“The slide to the fifth round was unexpected,” Fowler said on SportsCenter. “There was some stuff about the character from his high school days in a documentary that wasn’t flattering. I talked to the Saints about that somebody there, they said they had zero problems with that. He had clearly matured from all that it really didn’t even come up all that much in their team interviews of Rattler. ...

Dallin Holker labeled Saints' rookie free agent with best odds to make the team

The New Orleans Saints have had success with undrafted free agents in the recent past. The most recent success has most recently come in the form of special teams additions. Deonte Harty and Rashid Shaheed initially were return specialists before integrating into the offense. Wil Lutz and J.T. Gray were also valuable special teams assets.

Though unproven, the Saints’ 2024 UDFA class is highly rated. The star of that class is Colorado State tight end Dallin Holker. It’s no surprise that Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler believes Holker has the best chance to make the Saints roster of all...

The New Orleans Saints have been looking for their quarterback of the future since Drew Brees. Injuries to Jameis Winston robbed of a proper chance to prove his case, positive or negative. New Orleans abandoned the bargain contract quarterback route and traded for Derek Carr last offseason.

Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon broke down the quarterback situation of every team. There’s no high profile veteran quarterback, so each squad has solidified. Gagnon used age, trajectory, experience, contract, injury history and the state of the team to come up with a quick summation to divide each team...

What to watch for: Saints Rookie Minicamp

It’s time to get back on the football field.

Rookie minicamp is this weekend throughout the NFL and for the New Orleans Saints, it’s an opportunity to see your draft picks and UDFAs in action.

Here’s a few points to keep an eye on for the weekend:

There’s going to be a ton of pressure on the offensive line prospect that the Saints drafted 14th overall and now gave a fully guaranteed deal before he steps foot on the field. It appears that Ryan Ramcyzk will be good to go, but Fuaga will have to step in at left tackle while Trevor Penning could move inside to left guard. So, it’ll be...

With the start of the New Orleans Saints 2024 minicamp just about a month away, we’re going to do an early projection of what the roster could potentially look like come week one. It is very likely that the team will be adding players here and there before the start of the season, but I believe this provides a good idea on where this team stands with the personnel they have at the moment.

Let’s get to it.

Quarterback (3): Derek Carr, Jake Haener, Spencer Rattler

Running Back (4): Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller, Zander Horvath

Rookie New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is one of 40 NFL rookies that has been invited to 2024 NFLPA Rookie Premiere. The event will take place in Los Angeles from May 16-19.

The Rookie Premiere, according to Sportskeeda, is a program organized by the NFLPA to acquire corporate brands and help league sponsors get to know some of the most marketable draft picks. The event allows NFL partners “unparalleled access” to up-and-coming stars.

On a surface level, there are multiple Saints’ draft picks that might be more deserving than Rattler; however, the event invites appear to...

Saints sign first round pick, massive offensive tackle whose job it is to protect Derek Carr

The New Orleans Saints have signed their first-round draft choice, tackle Taliese Fuaga, to a four-year contract.

The club announced the agreement on Thursday, a day before the opening of the Saints' three-day rookie camp.

The 6-foot-6, 324-pound Fuaga's prospects for playing immediately — if not starting — are high. Andrus Peat, who played both guard and tackle last season, left in free agency for Las Vegas. Meanwhile, James Hurst, who also played guard and tackle, retired.

Adding to the Saints' precarious situation up front is the fact that starting right tackle Ryan Ramczyk had...

The New Orleans Saints kick off their three-day rookie minicamp on Friday, and it’s an important day for a lot of players. Not just the draft picks and rookie free agents wearing their new helmets and team colors for the first time, but for many tryout players for whom this might be their last opportunity in the NFL. It’s vital that they make a strong impression in hopes of catching on with the Saints for training camp.

That’s what Clay Harbor experienced back in 2017, his final year in the NFL. The former Saints tight end tried out at rookie minicamp that year after playing for four...

More free agents the New Orleans Saints could target

Before the draft, I wrote that the New Orleans Saints could target free agents Justin Simmons, Dalton Risner, and Mekhi Becton. Besides Becton, who was already picked up, the Saints could still target these players, but more are still available that would help.

The last piece to the Saints defensive back room is one more safety. Justin Simmons is the number one option, but Kearse would be a great second choice if that does not happen. The former Dallas Cowboys safety was a reluctant cut this offseason. The team had a lot of big contracts, and their safety room was already very full. This...
