New Orleans Saints
It’s an early NFC South matchup for New Orleans’ season opener.
The 2024 NFL season is finally here, and the New Orleans Saints (0-0) will open their season at home in Caesars Superdome against the Carolina Panthers (0-0)
In what is an early NFC South matchup between these divisional opponents, the Saints are currently favored by 4.5-points against the Panthers according to FanDuel. The over/under is currently 41.5 points but there will surely be some movement on these odds as the week goes on.
Looking back at some of the moves that the Saints made during the offseason, starting with...

Here are your daily New Orleans Saints links.
The New Orleans Saints are heading into the 2024 season with a question mark on their safety position outside of Tyrann Mathieu. However, with the recent injuries to the room, the entire secondary should be in question as well.
Just one day after getting an electric kick returner off the waiver wire, he is back searching for a new home due to a failed physical.

Austin Deculus is joining the Saints practice squad.
The New Orleans Saints have signed former LSU offensive tackle, Austin Deculus, to their practice squad.
Deculus was a four-year starter at LSU from 2018-2021. He played over 3,300 career snaps and was the team’s starting right tackle during their national championship run in 2019.
Deculus was drafted in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. He didn’t play as a rookie and totaled 39 snaps in 2023 where he posted a 64.6 run blocking grade and a 53.6 pass blocking grade.
Deculus signed with the [New...

New Orleans may have more work to do.
The New Orleans Saints have had a great offseason, improving their defense from good to great. Bringing in Chase Young to solidify the edge rush group and drafting Khristian Boyd, who can greatly improve the run defense, were amazing moves that could elevate this defense to another level. Looking at every defensive position group, it is very hard to find any issues, but one spot does stick out. The safety group has been the one question mark on defense, and the Saints have not hidden this. In no way are the safeties...

The hard decisions of cutdown day made for some surprising moves.
All 32 NFL teams had to make the hard decision of trimming their roster down from 90 players to 53. Although teams can later add these players to their 17-man practice squad, releasing them runs the risk of that player being claimed on waivers or signed by another team. As it comes with every cutdown day, the New Orleans Saints made some surprising cuts.
The Saints hosted a safety battle with second-year Jordan Howden and veteran Johnathan Abram throughout training camp and the...

New Orleans has bolstered the interior defensive line’s depth amid injuries at the position.
The New Orleans Saints have sent a 2025 6th-round pick to the Washington Commanders in exchange for DT John Ridgeway III and a 2025 7th-round pick.
Washington underwent a complete change in leadership after hiring former San Francisco 49ers Vice President of Player Personnel, Adam Peters, as the team’s new GM, along with former Dallas Cowboys DC, Dan Quinn, as the new HC.
Ridgeway was originally a fifth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2022 NFL Draft before being waived early in the season and...

With the preseason finale in the books, let’s take a look at who stood out this week for New Orleans.
The New Orleans Saints closed out the 2024 preseason with a 30-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Although the Saints’ receivers struggled with drops, rookie QB Spencer Rattler put his talent and poise on full display, while the run game looked promising as well.
This week’s breakout player took over in the second half of Sunday’s game, as he continued his fight for a roster spot in a crowded position group. The breakout player for the Saints’ preseason finale loss...

Predicting offensive stat lines for some of the Saints stars.
The New Orleans Saints enter 2024 with a need to get better on offense. Even though they ended the season as the 10th best team in terms of points per game, it just felt like they still had a lot of room for improvement. This year, the Saints brought in new offensive coordinate, Klint Kubiak, in hopes that he can turn things around.
The preseason is now over and we’re two weeks away from the Saints season opener against the Carolina Panthers, so I thought we’d go through and try...
