There are 99 days remaining until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 season against the Carolina Panthers, which means this year’s No. 99 is our player of the day: Chase Young. The veteran defensive end signed with the Saints as a free agent this spring, and he’s in line for a big role in the fall — once he’s healthy.

But first, let’s get to know him a bit better:

Before he can worry about anything else, Young must finish recovering from neck surgery he underwent in March to address an injury he played through in 2023. He’s expected to miss some time in training camp, but the...

Our countdown to the New Orleans Saints’ season opener is kicking off. There are 99 days until Sept. 8’s game with the Carolina Panthers, so we’ll be counting down the days by looking back at every player to wear that jersey number in Saints history.

No. 99 is currently worn by defensive end Chase Young, who won it from defensive tackle Khalen Saunders. Other notable defensive tackles to use it include Shy Tuttle, most recently, as well as fan-favorites like Hollis Thomas, Norman Hand, and the great Tony Elliott, who was the first to put it on.

With 99 days to go until kickoff, here’s a look back at each player to use No. 99 with the Saints (via

New Orleans Saints game previews: Week 13 vs. Los Angeles Rams

December starts with the New Orleans Saints exiting their bye week for a home game against the Los Angeles Rams — an excellent shot at some payback after the Rams effectively ended the Saints’ season last year. But does Dennis Allen’s team have it in them to rise to the occasion?

It’s a question worth asking. The Saints have not beaten many teams over .500 in recent years, and the Rams figure to be in the middle of the NFC playoff picture by Week 13. They’ll present just as daunting a test as the one the Saints failed late last season, with or without Aaron Donald in the middle of their...

Saints share behind-the-scenes video of Drew Brees Hall of Fame announcement

Now this is cool. The New Orleans Saints shared a must-see video going behind the scenes for Friday’s announcement that Drew Brees would be inducted to the Saints Hall of Fame.

Brees returned to the team practice facility with his family wearing a Team Gleason shirt, embracing owner Gayle Benson and catching up with old friends and coworkers — not just teammates like Cameron Jordan but the team equipment staff and those whose names are never heard on game days, but whose efforts keep the team moving forward. Brees also addressed the team’s current players after practice, at Dennis Allen’s...

Tyrann Mathieu reacts to Kool-Aid McKinstry signing his rookie contract

Kool-Aid McKinstry signed his four-year contract with the New Orleans Saints on Friday, and Tyrann Mathieu expects his rookie teammate to bring the snacks when they see him next time in the film room, now that he has a little walking-around money.

At least that’s what Mathieu joked about on social media when the Saints announced that McKinstry put pen to paper. McKinstry’s signing means all seven Saints draft picks have their contracts in hand, nearly two months before training camp is set to kick off in late July.

It’s the soonest a Saints second-round pick has signed since the NFL...

Saints pick yet another cornerback in this 2025 mock draft

Just how many cornerbacks do the New Orleans Saints need? The team selected Alabama’s Kool-Aid McKinstry in the second round of the 2024 draft, but Doug Farrar’s latest 2025 mock draft at Touchdown Wire has them adding another corner next offseason.

Johnson has NFL size at 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds, and he was arguably the best player on a Michigan team that saw 13 Wolverines drafted in April. He’ll be a hot commodity in next year’s draft. And while the Saints run deep at cornerback right now, that might not be the case in 2025.

Starting corner Paulson Adebo will be a free agent in the...

New Orleans Saints game previews: Week 11 vs. Cleveland Browns

It’s been a while since the Cleveland Browns visited the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome. Of the 46 Saints players who were active for that last meeting in 2018, only seven remain on the roster in 2024.

And this game is all that stands between the Saints and a much-needed breather during their Week 12 bye. But there’s the catch — the Browns will be well-rested for this game, having enjoyed their own bye week before making the trip down to New Orleans.

The Saints have won each of their last two games against the Browns, including the 2018 matchup we mentioned earlier and a...

Chris Olave hasn't gotten enough credit in PFF's wide receiver rankings

How is Chris Olave still underrated? The New Orleans Saints wide receiver roared into the NFL with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, but he’s having trouble getting respect even from those in the know at Pro Football Focus.

PFF’s Sam Monson shared his rankings for the top 32 receivers going into 2024, and they’re a mess. It’s bad enough that Olave was ranked behind players who haven’t even run a route in the NFL, with rookies like Malik Nabers (No. 25) and Marvin Harrison Jr. (No. 21) both ahead of him. But Olave is also ranked behind wideouts who have been in the league as long as him...

ESPN's FPI gives Saints less than 1% chance to win Super Bowl LIX

We’re saying there’s a chance. Well, ESPN is saying that — ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) gave the New Orleans Saints a 0.4% chance of winning Super Bowl LIX, which will be played at the Caesars Superdome in February.

Believe it or not, those aren’t the worst odds around the league. Four teams were given zero chances of bringing home a title, including the division-rival Carolina Panthers. But the Saints did rank 10th-worst in FPI’s forecast, which doesn’t inspire much confidence. That’s a direct reflection of the lack of success they’ve found since Drew Brees retired back in 2021...

ESPN ranks Saints' wide receiver corps low among NFL's 32 teams

ESPN ranked the New Orleans Saints’ wide receiver corps low among the NFL’s 32 teams. They have room for one more after moving on from Michael Thomas and most of the players who competed for roster spots last summer — whether that means a proven veteran like Hunter Renfrow or another free agent, they should look for another experienced player to add to the rotation.

Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are entering Year 3. A.T. Perry has a great opportunity after flashing during his rookie year. After that, it’s a mix of unproven (and, for the most part, undrafted) rookies and journeymen free agents. It would be easy to understand the Saints bringing someone else in to compete at training camp.

Here’s where ESPN’s Mike Clay

We’re almost to the back half of the New Orleans Saints’ 2024 schedule — which starts with a rematch against their Week 1 opponent, the division-rival Carolina Panthers. And this game should be much more challenging than that season opener.

Any hiccups and hurdles slowing down Bryce Young should be well behind the young quarterback once November rolls around. The Panthers are introducing their third head coach in three years after David Tepper bought the team, having fired Matt Rhule and Frank Reich before turning to Dave Canales. Canales has a reputation as someone who can get the most...

The bye week is almost in sight for the New Orleans Saints — or at least it will be, going into a two-game homestand in November. After traveling from coast to coast for matchups with the Los Angeles Chargers (on Oct. 27) and Carolina Panthers (on Nov. 3), the Saints will return home for a pivotal rematch with their oldest rivals.

Week 10 sees the Saints host the Atlanta Falcons at the Caesars Superdome. The Saints will have already made the trip to Atlanta in Week 4, so this could be an opportunity for payback or, hopefully, a chance to run up the score. For their part, the Falcons will...
