New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is having the rookie ride of his life literally, as he has been named the Grand Marshal for the Krewe of Pygmalion parade.
The Uptown parade, who is celebrating their 25th year, will roll on Saturday, February 7th beginning at 6:15 p.m. on Magazine Street, and ten wrap up at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center with “Pygmalion Fest” featuring by global superstar DJ and producer Marshmello. This year’s theme, “The Princess and the Pyg,” reimagines the magic of Mardi Gras through a modern fairytale lens, where timeless tradition meets royal revelry and every...

When the 2025 NFL season started, there was a real chance this would never be made. An extremely close QB battle between Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough lasted most of the preseason, and with it being so close, the Saints went with Rattler. At the time, the decision made sense, but it did not quell Saints fans’ criticism over “wasting” the 40th overall pick on a 25-year-old rookie QB who may not even get on the field.
As we know now, that’s not what happened.
Once Shough was brought in to take over from...

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 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...
