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...

The Saints already made a great move last year to trade for Fortner, so why not make another one?
McCaffrey is up for three different awards this offseason.
A no-brainer decision.

The interior of the New Orleans Saints’ offensive line was a weakness all season, but even after Erik McCoy went down with a season-ending torn bicep in Week 7, the center position was stabilized by pending free agent Luke Fortner.
New Orleans acquired Fortner in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for DT Khalen Saunders prior to the start of the 2025 season—a move that paid off as injuries depleted the offensive line. While replacing McCoy’s impact is nearly impossible, the 27-year-old former third-round pick filled in seamlessly and established himself as a reliable depth option.
In 12 games and...

ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. has released his first official mock draft ahead of April’s 2026 NFL Draft. In the article, Kiper Jr. made his predictions for all 32 first-round picks, including the New Orleans Saints selecting Arizona State University wide receiver Jordyn Tyson at eighth-overall.
The pass catching prospect is listed as 6’2”, 200 lbs., and would immediately provide New Orleans with some much needed size within the offense. Tyson finished his Junior year at ASU with 711 yards on 61 receptions while securing eight touchdowns.
Kiper Jr. had this to say when explaining why the Saints would make this...

A smart move from the Saints
It would be a low-risk move.
Top costume from the rookie.

On Wednesday, the New Orleans Saints notified their season ticket holders that they will not see an increase on ticket prices for the 2026-27 season from the previous season’s pricing.
Saints’ season tickets have been sold out every season since 2006, which was their first year back in the dome after Hurricane Katrina. That season the team also sign Sean Payton and Drew Brees, who led them to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in franchise history.
The Saints are currently scheduled to play 9 regular season home games barring an announcement from the NFL of the team...
