With the New Orleans Saints deep in the middle of a quarterback battle, the conversation about the future starter will still hold firm until someone can prove themselves. The next franchise QB may be on the roster, could be a future free agent, or might be in the draft. Usually, when there is uncertainty over the future at QB, the draft is where many people tend to focus for answers. In the past draft class, this position was underwhelming, but in 2026/2027, the outlook is much better. One of the reasons for this comes down to one player, Texas QB...
The first portion of training camp for the New Orleans Saints has come to a close as the team and staff left for California on Wednesday. Some players exceeded expectations while others fell flat, but which players put on the biggest show as we draw closer to the start of the 2025 NFL season?

The second-year player out of Alabama has made significant strides in this offseason and is set to have a large role in this year’s defense under the helm of defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. New head coach Kellen Moore has been nothing short...
The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers are set to square off on Sunday, August 10th at 3:05 p.m. CT in their first preseason game. It will be our first look at the QB battle and so much more, so it should be an exciting preseason.
Last season, the Chargers had the second best defense in terms of points per game allowed (18.5). They have a lot of veteran guys such as Khalil Mack and Derwin James who might not play in the preseason opener, but the Saints should expect to see them roll out a pretty solid unit...
The punter battle in New Orleans is down to two players, and the rookie out of Alabama could be primed for the win.
Could the Saints take advantage of the drama in Dallas?
The former Saints quarterback is now only one NFC South team from playing with each member of the division.
The New Orleans Saints announced they’ve waived second-year punter Matthew Hayball, re-signing UDFA quarterback Hunter Dekkers in a corresponding move. As a result, they’ll enter the season with a new punter for the fourth year in a row.
As a 27-year-old rookie, Hayball led the league in punts pinned inside the 20-yard line but ranked 32nd in hang time average. The Australian from Vanderbilt adopted a more traditional punting style this offseason and appeared to make some improvements, with a couple solid practices.
This move now leaves two UDFAs in the punter competition: 24-year-old fellow Australian James Burnip out of...

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Devin Neal is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury, per Head Coach Kellen Moore.
Neal was the team’s sixth-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft out of the University of Kansas. The Saints were expected to target a running back at one point in the draft, and opted to choose the productive Kansas playmaker.
Neal will disappointingly miss at least the first two weeks of preseason. The running back room in New Orleans is deep with plenty of young and veteran talent, and the rookie’s injury will make his path...
On Tuesday, the New Orleans Saints made a pair of roster moves just prior to leaving for California for their first preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The team announced that they waived TE Seth Green and claimed former San Francisco 49ers TE Mason Pline off waivers.
Pline played college football at Furman and Ferris State University. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the 49ers following the 2024 NFL Draft and spent time on the team’s practice squad.
Green was signed by the Saints in June after spending the past two seasons with the UFL Arlington...
When a team has a QB competition involving three players vying for the starting spot, the coaching staff must create a schedule to assess each player’s strengths and weaknesses. The New Orleans Saints have done a really good job of doing this so far in training camp. Since day 1, the rotation has been Spencer Rattler first (with the first team), Tyler Shough next, and Jake Haener third. Besides some snap changes between whoever was with the second and third groups, this rotation was pretty consistent, and it made sense why. One of head coach Kellen Moore’s top jobs is...
The Saints made a great selection in the first round to bolster the offensive line, but moving a former tackle on the roster to the inside may have been an even better decision.
The 2025 offseason saga of the 49ers and former Saints wide receivers continues.
If the Saints make this move, the entire fanbase will be shocked.
New Orleans Saints veteran DT Khalen Saunders voiced his opinion on the team giving 2022 first-round NFL Draft pick Trevor Penning a fresh start by moving him from offensive tackle to guard—and it could be just what both parties needed.
Saunders on Penning’s move to guard:
“I think that is one of the best moves we could have made honestly… He’s very strong… I think being on the inside compliments his skillset and power and will show a lot more of his strengths.”
Saints head coach Kellen Moore described Trevor Penning’s skillset as “perfect” to play guard—and it’s hard to...
On Monday, August 4, 2025, the New Orleans Saints partnered up American Safety to surprise the Bonnabel High School football team with brand-new helmets for their upcoming season. Saints cornerbacks Alontae Taylor and Issac Yiadom presented the players with 65 new Riddell SpeedFlex helmets.
Coach Andre Anthony, who is starting his first year with the Bruins, told WGNO News, “It’s amazing to see them come and do this for the kids and just be involved with the community, not just Bonnabel but everywhere across Louisiana.
