Saints no more: updates on traded players Rashid Shaheed and Trevor Penning

Saints no more: updates on traded players Rashid Shaheed and Trevor Penning

Back during the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline, the New Orleans Saints traded away WR Rashid Shaheed and OG Trevor Penning. Shaheed was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2026 4th- and 5th-round pick, while the much more surprising move was sending Penning to the Los Angeles Chargers for a future 6th-round pick.

Now that it has been more than a month since those trades, let’s check in on how both players are doing.

Rashid Shaheed

Starting with the more expected move made by the Saints, the speedy WR had a slow start in Seattle. In Shaheed’s first four...

Saints Rookie Impact Report: Week 16

Let’s start the breakdown for the New Orleans Saints’ Sunday matchup against the New York Jets!

OT Kelvin Banks

For most of the season, Banks has been extremely talented, and against the Panthers, it continued, though there were some hiccups. Penalties remain an issue, and the rookie was beaten at times. Still, he had dominant reps. In week 16, against the Jets, he can dominate all day.


QB Tyler Shough

After the Saints’ Week 15 win over Carolina, Shough showed he will be the starter for at least 2026, can lead this team to wins, elevate the...

The New Orleans Saints will host the 3-11 New York Jets at Caesars Superdome in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season. To break it down, MacGregor Wells of Gang Green Nation joins us to preview Sunday afternoon’s matchup.

NJ: Jets HC Aaron Glenn was strongly connected to the Saints head coaching position this offseason, as he is a former player for New Orleans and previously served as the defensive backs coach for the black and gold—how would you grade Glenn’s first season in charge?

MW: I wouldn’t grade Glenn very highly. He doesn’t have a lot of talent to...

If Saints win/lose vs Jets

The New Orleans Saints carry their first multi-game winning streak of the season into Week 16 as they host the New York Jets. Here’s a preview of what either outcome could mean for the black and gold on Sunday.

If the Saints win

A win – which would mark three straight for the Saints and a 4-3 record for Tyler Shough as starting quarterback – builds on the existing momentum within the organization as the team looks to next season and beyond.

For a 4-10 squad, the feel-good factor is certainly there in abundance at the moment. Beating a...

NFL Picks Week 16: Flying High Again

The New Orleans Saints host the New York Jets at the Caesars Superdome in the Saints’ 2025 home finale. Former Saints player and coach Aaron Glenn brings his grounded Jets to New Orleans to face a Saints team that is flying high following a modest but important two-game winning streak.

Tyler Shough left the injury tent and got the ball back with 4:37 remaining against the Panthers, down 17-10, and immediately hit on seven of his eight passes, each for 9 yards or more. Shough hit Chris Olave for the game-tying TD, and New Orleans’ defense got a stop. It didn’t feel likely, but Shough did enough to move the Saints from their own 9-yard line into field-goal range for the game-winning kick as time expired. Shough has shown promise in each of his six starts, but the way he finished this one has...

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This division makes no sense. The Buccaneers needed to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to the Saints in week 15, but instead of getting the job done, they lost again, this time against the Falcons. Tampa Bay’s defense could not stop Kirk Cousins and the entire Falcons offense, and on the other side of the ball, QB Baker Mayfield still struggled with accuracy. Many of the things that were exposed against the Saints stayed true against the Falcons. After this loss, the Bucs lost first place in the division.
