Saints needs to solidify tackle depth.

By John Hendrix - Athlon Sports

The New Orleans Saints' list of needs is plentiful.

New head coach Kellen Moore will have his hands full this offseason, as he gets to know his new team and starts imprinting his styles and philosophies on the Saints. New Orleans hopes the fresh direction will help build something special and turn the ship around, but it's going to take a lot of work and attention.

The Saints roster is obviously important in the successes or failures going into next season, and we keep looking at where each position group is at right now and what's needed. Our last preview focused on the tight end room, and now we shift our attention to the offensive tackles.

Saints Offensive Tackle Overview

Players Under Contract: Taliese Fuaga, Trevor Penning, Josh Ball, Josiah Ezirim (reserve/future), Ryan Ramczyk (expected to retire)

Free Agent Outlook: Oli Udoh, Landon Young, Justin Herron

Priority Level: High

The Saints knew they had to address the offensive tackle spot after what transpired with Ryan Ramczyk, and there were major concerns about Trevor Penning. New Orleans made some free agency moves to get some players familiar with the Klint Kubiak wide zone offensive scheme, and then eventually drafted Taliese Fuaga and swapped Penning to the left side. ...

Spencer Rattler is back at home in Scottsdale, Ariz. training with Mike Giovando, a personal quarterbacks coach with the Elev8 Quarterback Academy. He was joined by University of Washington quarterback Will Rogers at the Banner Sports Medicine High Performance Center for a day’s work.

Giovando shared a few video clips of the New Orleans Saints quarterback staying sharp as the offseason begins, demonstrating a mixture of footwork drills and throwing sessions.

One thing that was noteworthy is most of the throws were deep outbreaking routes that showcased Rattler’s arm strength.

The Caesars Superdome used to be a place opposing teams dreaded to visit. The fast-paced New Orleans Saints offense was tough to slow down on their turf in front of their loud fans and under their bright lights. Unfortunately, things aren’t what they used to be.

Including the playoffs, the Saints won 8 home games in a row in 2017 and 7 consecutive in 2018. They were undefeated at home in 2012, winning all 9 games at the Caesars Superdome (again, including the playoffs). That dominance built a perception that the Superdome crowd was too much for visiting teams to handle — too loud, too...

In his introductory press conference, New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore stated that he will be calling plays. This takes some importance out of the OC search, but getting the correct hire will still be extremely important for the team. The search came down to Philadelphia Eagles RB coach/assistant head coach Jemal Singleton, Miami Dolphins WR coach Robert Prince, and Eagles QB coach Doug Nussmeier. Even before the Saints hired their head coach, it was believed that if Kellen Moore were the guy, Nussmeier would be the favorite for OC.

Today, per Nick Underhill, the Saints have...

There it is. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reports what we’ve expected would be the case — the Saints are hiring Doug Nussmeier to become Kellen Moore’s offensive coordinator in 2025.

Nussmeier, 54, has worked with Moore as a quarterbacks coach every step of the way through his NFL journey. They were together on the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Chargers, and this year’s Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles team.

But Moore will continue to call plays after becoming the Saints’ head coach, so what will Nussmeier be responsible for? Expect him to spend a lot of time supervising the...

Soon after it was announced that Kellen Moore would become head coach of the New Orleans Saints, interim head coach Darren Rizzi quickly pivoted to joining the Sean Payton-led Denver Broncos.

With Rizzi’s role as special teams coordinator in Denver, he now brings in a familiar face to add to his unit. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reports that Marwan Maalouf is following Rizzi and joining the Broncos.

Maalouf, the former Minnesota Vikings special teams coordinator, spent a few years out of football prior to joining the Saints at midseason. Once Rizzi became interim head coach, he...

The New Orleans Saints offensive staff is almost complete, and this group has some trends. There is an evident youth movement with this offensive staff, and most of the coaches are connected to Kellen Moore’s previous teams. Something notable is that head coach Kellen Moore, soon to be expected offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier, and quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien are all former NFL quarterbacks. Also, both Moore and Nussmeier were former QB coaches. This coaching staff focuses on QB development, which may be a hint for important decisions in the offseason.

The New Orleans Saints have been active in meeting with a multitude of prospects leading up to the 2025 NFL draft, and have continued to do so into early February.

The NFL offseason is here, and free agency follows closely behind as it is only a month away approximately. With that, we have some time to take a look back at the 2024 offseason for the New Orleans Saints and grade some of their signings and departures based on whether or not they were good decisions.

One of the Saints’ few signings last offseason was defensive back Will Harris, who left the Detroit Lions in search of a new team, and ended up landing with New Orleans. Here is how his 2024 season went, how the contract panned out, and a grade for the signing:
