If there was any concern that Taysom Hill’s role might be marginalized in a new Saints offense with an overhauled coaching staff, you can put that to rest.

Not only has Hill remained one of the most fascinating players to watch on the practice field during the first two weeks of OTAs – bouncing around from running back to fullback to tight end and actually adding some new tricks to his repertoire. But offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak literally went out of his way this offseason to make sure Hill knew how important he was to him and his new staff.

Kubiak flew to Utah to visit Hill and discuss his vision for the unique and versatile playmaker.

Hill said that meant a lot to him because “of course” he had that bit of trepidation or curiosity over what the new staff’s outlook would be for him.

“You want to be wanted, right?” Hill said. “Here’s the great thing about Klint. I feel like Klint is so genuine. So my first conversation with him over the phone was, ‘I can’t give you a fair answer yet because I haven’t watched all the film.’ He’s like, ‘I’m gonna go back and watch all of last season’s film.’ And then once he finished that, he came out and visited me. And we sat down and had a great conversation. ...

The New Orleans Saints face an uphill battle in the 2024/25 NFL season, according to sportsbooks. Oddsmakers don't appear high on Dennis Allen's team coming into the year, despite a two-win improvement from 2022 to 2023.

Trevor Penning describes flip to right tackle as a fresh start

One of the biggest ongoing stories from rookie minicamp and organized team activities is Taliese Fuaga and Trevor Penning swapping positions. The Saints first round pick is a career right tackle who has been moved to left tackle this season and vice versa for Penning. The decision has been framed as gathering information, but it feels like a concrete decision for Penning.

Penning described the move as a fresh start when speaking with local media on Tuesday: “It’s a fresh start. It’s a whole new offense, new side of the line. Kind of flushed the past almost, learned from the past, move on...

Saints game-by-game predictions for the 2024 season

With the schedule being revealed recently, many of us highlighted important matchups and gave our record predictions for the team. The consensus around New Orleans Saints media as well as the fan base, projects the team to win somewhere between 7-10 games this season. This makes a lot of sense considering their results in these last couple of seasons and where they currently stand as a team.

All that being said, I decided to breakdown the Saints season giving my score predictions for each game that they play and see where they fall at seasons end.

Let’s kick it off with Week 1:

Derek Carr-Klint Kubiak relationship labeled Saints' biggest priority

Around the NFL writer Kevin Patra identified the biggest offseason priority for every NFC team, and his choice for the New Orleans Saints is easy to accept. Priorities ranged from navigating contract situations to accumulating talent. The Saints’ priority fell in the middle. Patra said getting Derek Carr on the same page as offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is the one thing the Saints must do this offseason. Here’s his explanation:

It’s hard to disagree with Patra here. It wasn’t the only problem in 2023, but a better season from Carr likely would have resulted in a playoff appearance...

Undrafted Saints rookie Dallin Holker given good odds of making the team

It’s a hard life for undrafted free agents — about 500 rookies sign with NFL teams after the draft each year, but maybe 50 of them will make the cut and earn a spot on the 53-man roster for Week 1’s kickoff games. And one stands apart when looking at the New Orleans Saints’ undrafted crop: former Colorado State tight end Dallin Holker.

Wide Left’s Arif Hasan studied the rate of undrafted rookies who made the cut for teams over the last three years, and found a good correlation between two factors determining their changes. NFL teams show us how they regard undrafted free agents by...

The New Orleans Saints are set to travel to Lambeau field for the second consecutive season, but this time, instead of getting it out of the way in September, they’ll be playing in likely-below freezing temperatures in December.

I’ve actually been to Lambeau Field in December, and if I remember correctly, it was the warmest game ever played at Lambeau in December (at least at the time)... and it was still absolutely freezing and raining.

Needless to say, even if they get “good weather,” it’s going to be cold, and this team plays in a dome pretty much all season, so that just adds another...

It shouldn’t be a hot take to say Dennis Allen should be on the hot seat going into 2024. The New Orleans Saints have tolerated too much mediocrity under his watch, having missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons while wilting in their biggest games. Allen has not delivered on the expectation general manager Mickey Loomis outlined when he was hired, envisioning a coach who could field a competitive team each week.

And it’s not just us saying it. That’s the word from Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay, who started with Allen when listing head coaches whose jobs could be in jeopardy this season...

There is still time for the New Orleans Saints to put the finishing touches on their roster for the 2024 season, and Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder has an idea for what they should do next.

Holder listed one more move each team should make before training camp starts in late July. For the Saints, that meant signing an old division rival: Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith, most recently with the Kansas City Chiefs. Here’s why:

Depending on where you look, the Saints are under the salary cap by about $5.7 million. Smith signed with the Chiefs last year on a one-year, $3 million...
