New Orleans Saints
When the New Orleans Saints faced 53-man roster cuts, one of the hardest positions to predict was the RB room. The Saints had a decent group throughout training camp, and with some talent sprinkled throughout, the deeper part of the group was going to be a tight battle.
In the end, the Saints went with Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, and Velus Jones Jr. On the outside was UDFA Marcus Yarns. After that, Yarns landed on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ practice squad in the CFL, but that lasted until October. Now, the former Saints UDFA will have another chance, this...

With the 2026 NFL Draft just over four months away and the postseasons of both professional and college football coming to a close, many athletes hopeful of hearing their names called in April are prepping to put forth their best for scouts, coaches, and staff of teams seeking to fill their needs. As for Kellen Moore, Mickey Loomis, and the New Orleans Saints, the eighth overall pick of the draft will add another foundational pillar to the future of football in the Big Easy.
This mock draft was completed without New Orleans submitting any trades, although such trades are certainly...

The New Orleans Saints have some tough decisions to make this offseason with pending free agents, but one of the easier ones should be re-signing former UDFA LB Isaiah Stalbird, who proved to be an exciting piece for Brandon Staley’s defense.
The former South Dakota State Jackrabbit and converted defensive back finally got his chance to shine after a redshirt year on the Saints’ practice squad as a rookie. Stalbird finished the 2025 season with 25 total tackles (12 solo), six pressures, two sacks, four stops and a pass breakup across 17 games and 63 defensive snaps.
Standing 6-foot-1 and...

Another reason the Saints should have won a Super Bowl from 2017 to 2019.
Not the best news for the Saints’ 8th overall selection.

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.
