Saints depth chart prediction: Safeties

Here’s what I think the position group will look once the offseason is over.

The New Orleans Saints have made some changes to their defensive backfield via free agency and the draft. Here are my thoughts on what the depth chart for the safety position might look in Week 1:

#1. Tyrann Mathieu

Given Mathieu's status as a team captain, multiple All-Pro, and Super Bowl champion, I believe it's an obvious choice for him to secure the top spot. The Honey Badger is also reuniting with former Texans teammate Justin Reid, which hopefully should open up more opportunities for...

Early Saints 53-man roster prediction

Early Saints 53-man roster prediction

Some surprising potential moves.

This year’s 53-man roster deadline is August 27, and although that seems like a bit far away from today, the final roster is already being theorized by teams. For the New Orleans Saints, this will be a very interesting year for the final roster due to where the team currently is. Some young players may get the nod over veterans due to their potential rather than current skill. The Saints are not in a position to win now, so having some of those high-potential/low-floor young players on the roster could be worth it. Saying this, the...

A deep dive into New Orleans options at RB this season.

The New Orleans Saints enter the 2025 season in a new era, with some lower expectations, but also some high hopes. They have a new head coach as well as two young quarterbacks in Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler that they feel pretty good about. The national media may be low on the Saints, but there are positive vibes in the building and fanbase.

When the Saints hired Kellen Moore to be their next head coach, the expectation was that he’ll step in and improve the offense immediately. Even...

Saints vs. Panthers Week 10 and 15 preview

The NFC South rivalry continues late in the season for the Saints and Panthers.

The New Orleans Saints will face the Carolina Panthers, their NFC South divisional rivals, in a matchup between weeks 10 and 15.

The Saints will first travel to Carolina for their Week 10 matchup before hosting the Panthers at home for Week 15.

Panthers quarterback Bryce Young struggled during his rookie season and was benched for Andy Dalton in 2024. Despite being benched, Young came back better than ever throwing 7 touchdowns over his final three games and no turnovers.

Carolina used the 8th overall draft...

The situation is fluid due to off-season injury restrictions.

With OTAs fully underway one of the more interesting position groups for the New Orleans Saints is the tight end room. There’s actually a ton of talent in the position group but a couple of key pieces are on the shelf currently.

Taysom Hill, the Saints’ Swiss army knife, tore his ACL in Week 13 and Foster Moreau also suffered a knee injury but in the final game of the 2024 season. As reported by Nick Underhill, neither will be available to see any on-field action until camp at the earliest....

What to Watch: Saints Quarterback battle

With three inexperienced quarterbacks, the job is open for anyone that is ready to win it.

As the New Orleans Saints get deeper into OTAs and get ready for training camp in the summer, many questions are going to rise about the quarterback position.

Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener entered OTAs in a battle for the spot, but Haener recently suffered an oblique injury and will miss the rest of OTAs.

But Moore is used to working with inexperienced quarterbacks, especially Dak Prescott in Dallas when he was the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys.

What to expect from the old division rival.

The New Orleans Saints are set to start the month of November on the road in a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. With the game taking place around the halfway point of the season for New Orleans and the trade deadline likely looming, it could end up being crucial.

The Rams made some offseason moves, including signing franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford to a two-year contract extension and releasing and replacing All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp. Young defensive stars Jared Verse and Braden Fiske were also given another offseason to improve.
