When the New Orleans Saints drafted quarterback Tyler Shough out of Louisville in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft many were left scratching their heads. Shough was 26 years old and had completed just one full season of college football in a six-year career and was rarely seen with a second-round grade on any pre-draft analyses. However, as we now sit at the start of the offseason for the Saints, Shough has solidified himself as the quarterback of the future and I would argue is even deserving of Offensive Rookie of the Year. As it stands, the three...

On Friday, January 9, quarterback Hunter Dekkers was selected by the United Football League’s Houston Gamblers during the first phase of the association’s multi-stage draft. Less than one year ago, Dekkers found himself going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, but will now have an opportunity for a fresh start with a new team in hopes of continuing his professional career.
Dekkers signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent following a minicamp tryout in May 2025. He was never able to see the field during the preseason as Kellen Moore and the Saints worked rigorously to...

Will Shough win it?
The Saints may have a potentially great backup already on the roster, and he didn’t play this past season.
A fun interaction between the veteran and the rookie.

The New Orleans Saints already know where they will be drafting in 2026, but for the playoff teams, some of the first spots were solidified after last night’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans.
Here is the new first-round draft order.

When Kellen Moore last stepped off the field as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, he did so as a Super Bowl champion.
But while he remains where he was that day – in the Caesars Superdome, albeit in different colors – the Eagles are in rather unfamiliar territory, having dropped their first home playoff game in over six years to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
The link to the black and gold is clear: the Saints snagged a huge piece of Philadelphia’s championship-winning puzzle, and fans should feel even more encouraged that he’s at the helm in...

Who could win the division next season?
After being on and off the roster all preseason, a former Saints QB has a new home.
Could a disgruntled WR find his way to New Orleans?

The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Houston Texans in the final game of the Wild Card round. This game will see Aaron Rodgers face the AFC’s best defense in what could be his final game. This matchup could make for a great end to the Wild Card round of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

What a weird season for the NFC South, but in the end, the Carolina Panthers were the division winners. Now, going into the offseason, all four of these teams have tough work to do this offseason, so let’s start the preview.
This was a very disappointing season for the Buccaneers. Instead of repeating their NFC South dominance of recent years and QB Baker Mayfield proving to be a real franchise QB, the team was a shell of its old self. Mayfield struggled throughout the season, the run game fell apart at times, and the coaching was...
