New Orleans Saints
On Friday, January 23, 2026, New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson presented several Louisiana charitable organizations with their portion of the team’s 50/50 raffle sales that were held during their 2025 home games.
This season’s 50/50 Raffle generated a total of $972,575 in support of community initiatives, which included a $25,000 contribution from Rouses Markets to Feeding Louisiana and $484,000 to help fund several nonprofit organizations across the state.
The Saints 50/50 Raffle has helped to provide financial support to charitable organizations throughout the region for over a decade. Each home game puts a spotlight a different beneficiary, with a...

Every offseason, one thing scares every team in the league. No, it’s not losing your best player to injury or an important player not wanting to return in free agency; it’s Hard Knocks. This year, 16 teams are eligible for the show, and the New Orleans Saints are among them.
Teams dread this outcome because it’s a distraction. No franchise or staff wants their “personal space” (AKA anything that happens behind closed doors) exposed to other teams. Look at what happened to the New York Giants in the 2024 offseason. This was the offseason that RB Saquon Barkley left, and...

It’s Senior Bowl season.
An interesting decision by the NFL.

The New Orleans Saints’ unusually high morale despite a 2-10 record at one point in the season was partially due to veteran leadership from players like tight end Foster Moreau, an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
The 28-year-old had a down year after returning in Week 5 from a knee injury suffered in the 2024 season finale, hauling in just seven receptions on 10 targets for 59 yards and zero touchdowns in 11 games—all career lows.
That said, his voice was crucial in the locker room. Head coach Kellen Moore repeatedly credited Moreau throughout the season, calling him “one of...

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is having the rookie ride of his life literally, as he has been named the Grand Marshal for the Krewe of Pygmalion parade.
The Uptown parade, who is celebrating their 25th year, will roll on Saturday, February 7th beginning at 6:15 p.m. on Magazine Street, and ten wrap up at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center with “Pygmalion Fest” featuring by global superstar DJ and producer Marshmello. This year’s theme, “The Princess and the Pyg,” reimagines the magic of Mardi Gras through a modern fairytale lens, where timeless tradition meets royal revelry and every...

When the 2025 NFL season started, there was a real chance this would never be made. An extremely close QB battle between Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough lasted most of the preseason, and with it being so close, the Saints went with Rattler. At the time, the decision made sense, but it did not quell Saints fans’ criticism over “wasting” the 40th overall pick on a 25-year-old rookie QB who may not even get on the field.
As we know now, that’s not what happened.
Once Shough was brought in to take over from...

Your reactions to the crazy weather in the AFC Championship.
The Saints go in a different direction, and Taliese Fuaga falls in the re-draft.
One of the top players in free agency, and he would fit the Saints’ offense and timeline very well.

Earlier this week, the New Orleans Saints signed S Julian Blackmon to a contract extension. This may not have been an expected move, but it was well-received by most when the deal was revealed. Bringing back Blackmon made too much sense given how he played before his injury and where the Saints’ SAF room currently is. Justin Reid and Jonas Sanker will be the starters, but Blackmon provides great depth.
Although the extension was announced, it was unclear what the money would look. Today, those numbers were revealed, and per Katherine Terrell, the Saints signed Blackmon to a league minimum...
