NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints made an $11.4 million payment on Friday for the team's ongoing renovations to the Caesar's Superdome, a team spokesperson confirmed with WWL Louisiana.

For two days, the Benson organization and the Superdome Commission went back and forth over the payments. Later, they said the "real dispute was over terms of a new long-term lease that would keep the team in the Dome until at least 2035," Nola.com reported.

Most renovations have been completed. About $58 million in work remains, with the Saints responsible for about $41 million. The Saints have...

Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar highlighted the most underrated player for all 32 teams in the NFL, and defensive end Carl Granderson was his choice for the New Orleans Saints.

The team’s 2023 sacks leader is looking to repeat that feat in 2024 — Granderson broke out last year by nearly doubling his snap count after working his way into the starting lineup, posting career-highs in sacks, tackles, and pressures.

Even after signing Chase Young in free agency while bringing back Payton Turner from a season-long injury (and with Isaiah Foskey pushing for reps), the Saints are going to be...

The biggest problem for the New Orleans Saints is they don’t have the quarterback of the future. Derek Carr may show he can be better than he was a season ago, but he isn’t the 10-to-15 year answer moving forward. In Bleacher Report’s five-year re-draft, New Orleans solved their biggest problem.

This re-draft made every player drafted since 2020 eligible again. Teams had to take the player’s current contract as well. For example, Joe Burrow was selected second and the Tennessee Titans had to take his $300 million contract with him.

Draft order was determined in a lottery system that...

According to multiple sources observing the New Orleans Saints OTAs this past week, Payton Turner could be ready for a comeback season.

Turner was drafted by New Orleans out of the University of Houston in 2021. Since then, he has only played in 15 games. Last season, he only played in two games and recorded one tackle.

However, a healthy season may finally be on the horizon for the former first-round pick.

According to NOF.com’s Nick Underhill and Mike Triplett, Turner was spotted getting reps with the first team defense during OTAs. He also appeared to be healthy and active. It should...

Just how successful will the New Orleans Saints be in 2024? According to the latest win total projections released by ESPN’s Mike Clay, not too well — Clay has the Saints with just 8.8 wins, which rounds up to the same 9-8 record they achieved last year.

And as we saw, those weren’t enough wins to clinch a playoff berth. The Saints can’t settle for less than double-digit wins and hope to reach the postseason. They need to win as many divisional matchups as possible and knock out a couple of opponents from outside the NFC South. We’ve shared our own game-by-game predictions now that the...

NEW ORLEANS — The weeklong publicly-aired dispute between the New Orleans Saints and the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District comes down to one overriding issue – progress towards a long-term lease for the team in the stadium, New Orleans Saints and Pelicans President Dennis Lauscha said in a question and answer the team posted to its web site Friday.

The public awareness of any issue began earlier this week when the LSED, the state board appointed by the governor to manage the Superdome and the Smoothie King Center, said the Saints were behind on their share of payments to the group...

Saints have a history of moving offensive linemen around

The New Orleans Saints offensive line will be very important to the success of the offense under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. They want to be a run first offense. That requires a level of physicality and skill that must be initiated by the front line. The starting offensive line could consist of Taliese Fuaga, Nick Saldiveri, Erik McCoy, Cesar Ruiz and Trevor Penning.

Trevor Penning’s move to right tackle during OTAs emphasizes the Saints’ tendency to take offensive linemen away from their natural position. Of those five starting linemen, McCoy could be the only one playing in his...

You know the New Orleans Saints made some great picks when they’re missing out on both of their top two selections in a way-too-soon 2024 re-draft. Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy turned back the clock and redid the first 32 picks of this year’s draft with the benefit of hindsight. And the Saints missed out.

Both Taliese Fuaga (their first-round choice at No. 14) and Kool-Aid McKinstry (their second rounder, at No. 41) were picked by other teams before the Saints had a chance to get them. The New York Jets selected Fuaga instead of Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu a couple of slots ahead of...

In this week’s CSC poll, we asked which of the following upsets are the New Orleans Saints most likely to pull:

After 343 votes, a win at the Dallas Cowboys was the most popular answer with 41.4% of the vote. The Saints have lost two of the last three against the Cowboys dating back to 2018, with the Cowboys taking the last matchup in 2021. The Saints will visit the Cowboys in Week 2, who have high expectations this year as they are tied with the Eagles for the best odds to win the NFC East. They will be a tough opponent, especially at home where they were unbeaten in the regular season...
