Chris Olave appears to have gained noticeable muscle during OTAs

Entering the fourth year of his career, Olave has put some work in during the offseason.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has appeared to put on significant muscle after pictures surfaced of the young wideout at voluntary OTAs.

Olave has dealt with multiple significant head injuries throughout his three-year NFL career, with some fans and former players advising him to retire due to the severity of his injuries. Despite some advising the young wideout to retire to avoid more injuries, he appears to remain committed to the team and has even bulked up during the offseason.

In 2024,...

Howell’s 2025 1st round Saints mock draft

My one and only...

With the NFL Draft is right around the corner, it’s time for my one and only mock draft. Let me start by saying that I love reading mock drafts, but I don't like doing them. Night 1 of the draft is so exciting but totally unpredictable for the most part. So, most of the time, our mocks are wrong, sometimes really wrong. Yet every year, we do our research, write them up and hope for the best. With that, I give you my in a “perfect world” prediction...

SB Nation Reacts Survey: Should the Saints take a quarterback at No. 9?

SB Nation Reacts Survey: Should the Saints take a quarterback at No. 9?

Vote in this week’s poll and let us know!

Just 13 days before the NFL Draft and 3 days before the New Orleans Saints players were due to report for voluntary workouts, news came out that quarterback Derek Carr is dealing with a shoulder injury that may or may not need surgery and could affect his ability for the upcoming season. The timing of this bomb dropped is very interesting since the team’s season has been over since January 5th and they just restructured Carr’s contract in early March. There have since been reports of Carr being unhappy and wanting...

Could Aaron Rodgers be a viable QB option for the Saints?

Could Aaron Rodgers be a viable QB option for the Saints?

The former Super Bowl MVP, 4-time NFL MVP and 10-time Pro Bowler just happens to be available.

Let me start this off by saying, I know a lot of you all are already angry and you haven’t made it past the headline. Felt like that should be acknowledged early on.

With the news that Derek Carr may miss the season, and the lack of a for sure number one QB option for the New Orleans Saints (although I do believe in you Spencer), some are looking around at what is available whether through the NFL Draft or free agency.

Hubbard: Why the Saints should wait until 2026 to draft their QB of the future

Hubbard: Why the Saints should wait until 2026 to draft their QB of the future

Waiting a year to draft a QB could prove worthwhile for New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints have a big decision to make in a couple weeks. With the 2025 NFL Draft looming and Derek Carr’s availability for next season in question, the Saints need to decide whether or not to spend their first top 10 pick in 15+ years on a quarterback.

Personally, I don’t think they should.

I know I may be in the minority here, but I don’t think this roster is a rookie quarterback away from making the playoffs and contending next season. Unless you find...

Should Saints roll with Rattler?-Canal St Chronicles

With Derek Carr likely gone for the season, the New Orleans Saints have a very interesting decision to make before the NFL Draft.

Perfect scenario prospects-CSC

Let's take a look at some of the prospects that would be a slam dunk if they were still available at 9 for the Black and Gold.

Perfect scenario prospects the Saints could get in the first round

Perfect scenario prospects the Saints could get in the first round

Run to the podium!

The New Orleans Saints will have some great options to select from in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but some prospects that could be available rank above the rest. Every year, prospects drop more than expected in the first round and beyond. This could be for many reasons, but in the top 10, one main reason is that other teams like other prospects. This is where the Saints can really benefit at pick 9. New Orleans does not have a position that needs to be addressed in the first round, and this flexibility...

Should the Saints go ahead with Spencer Rattler as the starter?

New Orleans now has a massive issue at QB but drafting one early may be a bad idea.

With the recent news surrounding Derek Carr’s new shoulder injury, the outlook for the upcoming New Orleans Saints season is much different. The team is currently missing a certified starter at quarterback, and of course, because they are drafting a pick 9, that position is expected to be in play.

Before this news, drafting a QB in the first round, for example, Shedeur Sanders, sounded much better due to having the opportunity to sit the rookie for a year and learn behind...

Saints QB Derek Carr’s availability for the 2025 season now in question due to shoulder injury

A massive surprise just two weeks before the NFL Draft. So, now what?

With the NFL Draft less than two weeks away, the New Orleans Saints selection at is extremely unknown. They can go in a number of different directions, and in recent weeks, Sheduer Sanders’ has been attached with the Saints’ pick. This was a bit interesting because we do not know the team’s thoughts on certain QB prospects, but Sanders could be the pick there. However, going away from QB made more sense regarding how the team was built.

Well, breaking news was just released that revealed starting...
