Saints HC Kellen Moore stresses the importance of naming a backup QB

New Orleans to take a different approach by declaring a backup quarterback ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Under former New Orleans Saints HC and current Chicago Bears DC Dennis Allen, it was rare we’d know who the QB2 behind Derek Carr would be until game day. Amidst Carr’s absence in 2024, there was even uncertainty over the starter between Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener for a stretch of the season, with decisions often being made after the last practice of the week—something that didn’t sit well with the fan base. However, new head coach Kellen Moore intends to redefine the...

NFL to replace chain gang with Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology

NFL to replace chain gang with Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology

The traditional first-down measurement system will become a backup as a new era begins in 2025.

On Tuesday, the NFL announced it will adopt Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology to electronically measure all first downs throughout the 2025 season, keeping the traditional chain gang on the sidelines as a backup.

After years of rumblings about this change, the league tested the system during the 2024 preseason and ran it behind the scenes during regular season games, ultimately opting to make it the primary method of measurement. The optical tracking technology is expected to provide a more accurate and modern way to determine...

New report suggests the Saints may be in for Jaxson Dart

Something to monitor going into the NFL Draft.

Currently, the New Orleans Saints have a major question mark over their quarterback's future. With Derek Carr's situation heading into a breakup next offseason and not really any answer behind the veteran quarterback, the Saints need to consider their options in the draft. This could happen at any point in the draft, but all that matters is New Orleans bringing in a rookie quarterback this offseason. One of these potential prospects is Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. His draft stock has skyrocketed throughout the offseason, and some believe it can be like...

NFL adopts playoff overtime rule for the regular season

Could be a rule that stays for a long time

Today, many new rules are either being denied or pushed through to be implemented for next season. This is all happening at the annual NFL Owner’s Meeting. Most of the focus has been on the potential “Tush Push” ban being voted on this week. Still, there are many other rules that will change how games are playing in 2025 and potentially beyond. One of these rules, which we have already seen done in the playoffs, has been accepted. For at least next season, overtime in the regular season will now...

NFL updating uniform policy to allow more throwback or alternate uniforms

Teams can now wear throwback or alternate uniforms up to four times per season.

The NFL has updated its uniform policy to allow teams to wear throwback or alternate uniforms up to four times in a single season, per Jordan Schultz. This means the New Orleans Saints can pull out a different look for four of their 17 games this season if they choose to do so.

If you’re a fan of the NFL, you should be a fan of this rule change. The NFL (also sometimes known as the No Fun League) is typically pretty strict on what players...

LSU OL Will Campbell visits with the Saints

Could New Orleans target the offensive lineman if he drops?

The New Orleans Saints have nearly perfect flexibility going into the NFL Draft, and at pick 9, the team is not forced to select a certain position. In 2024, offensive tackle had to be their selection in the first because of how big of a need it was. Yes, Brock Bowers may have been the one exception, but if the Saints did get Bowers, imagine the offensive line struggles the team would have gone through. With this flexibility, New Orleans must do as much homework on the top prospects in...

The Green Wave defensive lineman is drawing interest.

Turner offers position flexibility. The 290-pound defensive lineman played defensive end before transitioning to defensive tackle. Turner’s combination of speed and power allows him to be a liable pass rusher from the inside, while...
