New Orleans Saints
Two teams that struggled last season are looking to bounce back.
With the full New Orleans Saints 2025 schedule released, the matchups are set, and some of them are extremely exciting. This excitement could be due to rivalries or the quality of the opponent, but storylines are a main driving force when looking at these games. Yes, the easy choice of fun matchups are the NFC South games, but looking outside of those matchups, one sticks out to me: The New England Patriots in Week 6.
In recent years, the Saints have had the Patriots’ number in these games, even...

A much-needed addition,
Besides the Super Bowl, the NFL Awards are one of the most highly sought-after accomplishments in the game. Adding new awards to the list is always something the NFL should consider, but it must make sense for it to happen. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that they have added the “Protector of the Year” award for the best offensive lineman in the NFL, per Ian Rapoport.
It has been too long for the NFL to not have an award that can go to an offensive lineman for play on the field. Throughout league history, specifically in recent...

PFF isn’t too optimistic about Shough’s rookie season.
Earlier this week, Pro Football Focus dropped their 2025 NFL starting quarterback rankings, and they don’t appear to be too optimistic about Tyler Shough, who right now is presumed to be the starter for the New Orleans Saints.
Out of the 32 quarterbacks they ranked, Shough came in dead last, just behind Mason Rudolph (31), Anthony Richardson (30) and Joe Flacco (29), who make up the “low-end starters and not long-term options” tier.
Shough is one of two rookies to appear on their rankings, joining Cam Ward, who was the first overall...

Could it be implemented in New Orleans?
Every year, the NFL works with teams to modify, add, or remove certain rules from the game. We saw this after the New Orleans Saints vs. Los Angeles Rams no-call, when the NFL added challenges on pass interference calls, which were ultimately removed the following year. This offseason, there was one conversation in particular that stood out amongst the rest, the tush push. This play was popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles and has caused some anger from other teams due to how effective it is. The main argument against the play is injuries,...

The Saints have not appeared on the show since it first premiered in 2001.
The New Orleans Saints have escaped another year of appearing on HBO’s Hard Knocks as the NFL has just announced that the training camp edition will feature the Buffalo Bills and the in-season edition will feature the NFC East.
This marks the first time the Bills has been selected to take part in the Emmy-winning series and fans of the hit show will also get to see the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders featured during the NFL season on Hard Knocks:...

Breaking down the potential running backs next season.
Heading into OTAs, one question that remains is what the running back room could look like for the New Orleans Saints. Here’s who I think will be in the backfield come week one.
This one here is obvious. Kamara is a Saints icon, holding the franchise record for all-time rushing yards with 6,779 and with 2024 being the closest he’s ever been to a 1,000-yard season, he’s sure to be motivated heading into year nine.
Neal was selected in the sixth round...

Loomis spoke to the media at the annual HOF Celebrity Golf Tournament
The 2025 New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame Celebrity Golf Tournament took place on Monday, May 19, and local media had a brief opportunity to catch up with GM Mickey Loomis to get his thoughts on Derek Carr’s retirement, their lack of primetime games, current quarterback room and more.
“Look, he was injured. I have been around a long time so there now many things I haven’t seen. You have injuries come up and things that you may not think are...

During the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, flag football will be a new addition. This week, the NFL approved a rule that will allow players to participate.
With guys like Kellen Moore and Doug Nussmeier, who were former quarterbacks in the NFL, do the Saints feel like they dont need a veteran player at the position?

Owners voted today at the Spring League Meeting in Eagan, MN.
At the Spring League Meeting in Eagan, MN, NFL owners voted to allow NFL players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
The approved resolution authorizes the league to work with the NFL Players Association, the International Federation of American Football (IFAF), and the relevant Olympic authorities to implement rules governing the participation of NFL players in flag football, which makes its Olympic debut in 2028.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “It’s an incredible honor for any athlete to represent their country in...

What to expect in the Saints' first game against an AFC opponent.
The New Orleans Saints are set to come marching into Buffalo, N.Y., in a week four matchup against the Bills. On paper, this could be their toughest matchup of the early season.
The Buffalo Bills made the AFC championship game last season and has the reigning MVP in quarterback Josh Allen. They have also made numerous offseason additions to the defense, including a draft that saw 6/9 picks on that side of the ball and the big signing of pro-bowler Joey Bosa.
One positive is that the Saints...
