In a conversation with Rich Eisen, New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said he expects fans to see a whole new offense in the the Big Easy, outlining two crucial changes for the 2024 NFL season.

By Ross Jackson - Saints News Network | SI

The wide zone offense has made its way to the bayou and anticipations are high for what to expect from the New Orleans Saints in 2024. On Thursday, Saints head coach Dennis Allen joined the Rich Eisen show to discuss a variety of topics around the team, providing some excellent insight. One of the biggest takeaways came from Eisen asking Allen about how different the Saints offense will look to fans relative to waht they have seen from the team in the past.

"I think probably significantly different," Allen said. "We've been in a lot of what we call '11 personnel.' (Three wide receivers, one tight end in the game.) And I think we're probably going to see a lot more two tight ends in the game. We're going to see a little bit more fullback utilized in the game."

Of course, that does not mean a complete venture away from what has worked for the team in the past. Allen said that they will still do some traditional dropback passing and three-receiver sets. But the addition of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is clearly expected to have an impact. ...

The New Orleans Saints have officially signed CB Kool-Aid McKinstry to a 4-year deal.

McKinstry was drafted by the Saints in the 2nd round (41st overall) of this year’s NFL Draft. In his three seasons at Alabama, he recorded 92 tackles (61 solo), 2 interceptions and 25 passes defended. In his two seasons (2022-23) as Alabama’s primary punt returner, he returned 35 punts for 418 yards (11.9 avg.)

McKinstry was named first-team All-American and All-SEC selection, and he was a semifinalist for the Thorpe Award. In 2022, McKinstry was a second-team All-American at cornerback and punt...

Kool-Aid McKinstry signing may have set a new precedent for Saints

This was a bit of a surprise. The New Orleans Saints announced Friday that second-round draft pick Kool-Aid McKinstry had signed his rookie contract, meaning all seven picks from their 2024 draft class had put pens to paper.

But that’s not all. This was the soonest a Saints second round pick had signed their contract under the new collective bargaining agreement, which came into effect in 2021. While that CBA did standardize rookie salaries and tie contract values to draft slots, there was still some wriggle-room left for players’ agents and teams’ front offices to negotiate things like...

METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints announced that second-round draft pick Kool-Aid McKinstry has signed a 4-year contract on Friday.

According to team officials, the 41st overall selection out of Alabama is the final player of the team's seven-man NFL Draft class to sign.

In three seasons at cornerback for the Crimson Tide, McKinstry posted 92 tackles (61 solo), two interceptions and 25 passes defended.

Shortly after McKinstry was selected, the Kraft Heinz-owned Kool-Aid brand announced it's launching a new flavor honoring him.

Following his selection as the 41st overall pick...

A lot of fans are excited about the New Orleans Saints picking former South Carolina and Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler in the fifth round of this year’s NFL draft, but what’s the vision for him? Is Rattler really going to push Derek Carr for the starting job, as some fans and even a few media analysts have stumped for?

That’s a question Saints head coach Dennis Allen addressed during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show. Rattler is here to compete just like the other 90 players in the building, but what roster spot he’s competing for is up to him. He’ll have to earn his...

Good on both sides moving quickly here. KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports that the New Orleans Saints have signed second-round draft pick Kool-Aid McKinstry. This means the Saints’ entire 2024 draft class is under contract almost two months before training camp starts in late July. The roster is officially at its 91-man capacity, including the former Alabama cornerback.

It’s a bit of a surprise. Each of the Saints’ last three second-round picks (Isaiah Foskey, Alontae Taylor, and Pete Werner) didn’t sign their contracts until about a week before camp opened. Second rounders have become a point...

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr and LB Demario Davis are teaming up off the field for “A Night of Worship” at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans. The free event will take place on Tuesday, June 11th and be led by legendary gospel singer CeCe Winans and singer-songwriter Tauren Wells.

In an interview with the Saints’ John DeShazier, Davis said that idea for this event came from he and Carr’s relationship and that they are both men of faith. Their relationship with the Lord is everything and they really connect on that topic. Last year during the season, Davis and Carr started...

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...

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...
