There are 98 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 season, which means Brandin Cooks’ franchise-record 98-yard touchdown catch is our Saints Play of the Day.

Cooks got a step on Raiders cornerback Sean Smith that gave Drew Brees enough room to fit the pass in over the coverage; Cooks caught it in stride and used his straight-line speed to cross the field for a score. Talk about a great way to build some momentum in the 2016 season-opener.

It was a historic play, breaking a Saints record that had stood since 1967. Walter Roberts only caught 17 passes for the Saints...

We’ve got 98 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 season against the Carolina Panthers, which means Payton Turner (the current owner of the Saints’ No. 98 jersey) is our Player of the Day.

And it’s all about staying healthy for him in 2024. But before we get into his goals for the upcoming season, let’s recap some key information about the fourth-year pro:

As we mentioned at the top, Turner’s number-one goal in 2024 should be staying healthy. He enjoyed the best offseason of his career last summer and didn’t miss a single practice at training camp but went down...

98 days till Saints season opener: Every player to wear No. 98

There are 98 days remaining until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 season against the Carolina Panthers, and we’re continuing to count down the days by reflecting on each player to wear that jersey number in Saints franchise history.

No. 98 belongs to defensive end Payton Turner, who picked it up when another former Saints first-round pick, Sheldon Rankins, left in free agency the same year Turner was drafted. It’s been a popular choice for first-round defensive linemen in Saints history; Sedrick Ellis also wore it as the team’s top pick back in 2008.

With 98 days to go until kickoff, here’s a look back at each player to use No. 98 with the Saints (via

It’s tough to field a competitive roster when you’re spending too many salary cap resources on players not on your team — that’s a painful lesson the New Orleans Saints have had to learn while creatively working around the cap. This year,

There are 99 days to go until the New Orleans Saints open their 2024 season with the Carolina Panthers, so Patrick Robinson’s 99-yard pick-six Saints highlight of the day as we count down to kickoff. It was a huge moment for the team’s former first-round draft pick in 2010.

Robinson tied a Saints franchise record with this field-crossing defensive touchdown return, coming off of former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. Talk about rising to the occasion. Robinson made this play late in the first quarter on “Monday Night Football” with all of America watching, setting the tone...

Countdown to Kickoff, Day 99: Chase Young is the Saints Player of the Day

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.

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...

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...
