Brees was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2024 back in September 2023. Following his retirement after the 2020 season, he was honored the following season at halftime during the late November Bills-Saints game in the Superdome.

This 'disappointing' preseason forecast nailed Derek Carr's final passing stats

Opposing defenses weren’t the only ones who found the New Orleans Saints to be too predictable last year. We described the predictions for Derek Carr’s final stats from Bleacher Report as disappointing, but B/R’s Alex Kay had it down almost perfectly. And as we said at the time, this performance from Carr was a disappointment. We had higher expectations for him.

Still, here’s a hat tip to Kay for getting it right. Here are Kay’s predictions compared to the numbers Carr finished with in 2023 in parentheses:

So Kay had Carr’s passing numbers down almost perfectly, though they overestimated...

Saints' offensive line experiencing a youth movement in 2024

The New Orleans Saints offensive line is going through a youth movement. By their scheme, it is necessary. Trevor Penning highlighted Klint Kubiak’s wide zone scheme for utilizing the athleticism of the offensive line. That change of direction has also coincided with the unit getting much younger. Not every change can be tied scheme, but it does feel like an intentional shift.

Erik McCoy and Cesar Ruiz are the only returning starters from last season. Trevor Penning is excluded because he spent most of the season on the bench. The offensive line’s average age drops from 28.2 to 24.6 years...

Four things we have learned at OTAs so far

The New Orleans Saints are just into their 2nd week of OTA’s and we have already gotten a good bit of information in that short time frame. Let’s take a look at some of the things we have learned the past two weeks.


It’s easy to overreact to OTA performances, especially if the player is a rookie. However, it should be noted that rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler has experienced some growing pains during his first month as a Saint, reportedly throwing multiple interceptions and missed passes. According to NOF.com’s Nick Underhill and Mike Triplett, backup QB Jake Haener has the edge over...

Here's how much salary cap space the Saints will save after June 1

  • News source: John Sigler
  • Replies: 0

Early this offseason, the New Orleans Saints designed Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston as post-June 1 cuts, which is a mechanism that allows teams to release up to players (making them free agents) while spreading out the salary cap costs over this year and the next. The catch is that those savings won’t be felt until after June 1.

So with that date rapidly approaching, here’s how much those moves will save the Saints against the salary cap. Winston, who signed with the Cleveland Browns early in free agency, will still count against the cap by $3.38 million in 2024 and $7.3 million in...

Looks like another former New Orleans Saints player has become a part of their personnel. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reported that that former Saints tight end Josh Hill has joined the team's scouting department.

Hill was one of the former players attending Drew Brees’ Saints Hall of Fame induction where we got the news of this hire. As stated above, the plan for Hill is to work as an advanced scout to start before possibly working his way up into other roles.

He will now be added to a list of multiple former Saints that have ventured their way onto the team's staff...

Derek Carr ranked as the 5th-worst starting quarterback in the NFC

Yikes. Derek Carr has a lot of work to do in changing his reputation around the NFL — he’s consistently landing in the 20’s with analysts ranking the league’s starting quarterbacks after the 2024 draft. The New Orleans Saints starter didn’t exactly impress many viewers in his first season with the team.

He didn’t impress the Saints, either, which is why they completely overhauled the coaching staff supporting him. Klint Kubiak has replaced Pete Carmichael as offensive coordinator with Andrew Janocko taking over as the quarterbacks coach while other positions were flipped, too. But all of...

Saints avoid Hard Knocks, awarded to Bears

The NFL announced on Thursday they have selected the Chicago Bears to be featured as this year's team for Hard Knocks.

The New Orleans Saints were among the finalists to be featured, but the NFL elected to go with a resurging Bears team that obtained first-overall pick Caleb Williams in the 2024 draft.

Many teams prefer not to be a part of Hard Knocks as it can be seen as a distraction for teams trying to compete. To qualify for Hard Knocks, a team must not have a first-year head coach, have been featured in the past eight years, or will be featured on the in-season Hard Knocks show...

METAIRIE, La. — Saints legendary quarterback Drew Brees spent a LOT of time studying game film during his time with the Saints from 2006 through 2020.

The newly-elected member of the Saints Hall of Fame and holder of nearly every passing record in team history was known for his meticulous preparation and he says one thing caught his eye and the eye of the other quarterbacks over the years.

Brees said that the Saints shot their game film wide to show all the alignments and between each play that was filmed, the team would pan over to a scoreboard so that the QBs would know what the down...

The New Orleans Saints head to Los Angeles in Week 8 for a late kickoff against the Chargers on Oct. 27. This will be the first of the Saints’ two games against the L.A. teams this season, as they will also host the Los Angeles Rams later down the road.

It’s been a few years since these teams crossed paths. The Saints last saw the Chargers in the regular season in 2020 where they found themselves down 17 points late in the second quarter, only to climb back to secure a 30-27 overtime victory in Drew Brees’ final year with the team. The Chargers do however lead the series 7-6 versus the...

It’s been two years in a row where the New Orleans Saints could have been forced into hosting HBO and NFL Films’ “Hard Knocks” documentary, the famous live documentary following an NFL team each summer through training camp, preseason, and roster cuts. And it’s two years in a row where the Saints have not been chosen for the spotlight.

This time it will be the Chicago Bears going in front of cameras each week, as it was announced Thursday, following the New York Jets’ spotlight last year. NFL teams that have missed the playoffs in each of the last two years and not hired a new head coach...

PFF ranks Carl Granderson among the NFL's 32 best defensive ends

Carl Granderson isn’t underrated anymore. The New Orleans Saints defensive end broke out in 2023, and he’s attracting notice from the likes of Pro Football Focus. PFF’s Trevor Sikkema ranked Granderson among the NFL’s 32 best edge defenders — an in-house category that lumps together traditional defensive ends like Granderson with pass-rushing outside linebackers from odd-front defenses.

Here’s why Sikkema argues Granderseon is the 28th-best player among his peers:

That’s high praise, and expectations are high for the former undrafted free agent. Granderson has developed better than...
