What I want to see from the Saints’ offense in preseason finale

What I want to see from the Saints’ offense in preseason finale

The New Orleans Saints will close out their preseason schedule with a Saturday afternoon showdown against their former Head Coach, Sean Payton, and the Denver Broncos.

The offense – more specifically the quarterback position – will be put under a microscope this weekend. I’m not sure how many, if any, of the Broncos starters will be playing, but they’re projected to have one of the best defenses in football in 2025, so this should be a great test for the Saints’ offense.

Here are three things I want to see from the Saints’ offense in their preseason finale.

Either quarterback...

Why the trade for Devaughn Vele makes sense for the Saints

Why the trade for Devaughn Vele makes sense for the Saints

The New Orleans Saints made a surprise trade on Wednesday, acquiring second-year wide receiver Devaughn Vele from the Denver Broncos.

Vele was the Broncos’ seventh-round draft pick in 2024 and had a breakout role in Sean Payton’s offense. The 6-foot-5 wideout would start in 7 games with Denver, bringing in 41 receptions for 475 yards and 3 touchdowns.

The reactions to the acquisition have been mixed. While some are praising the Saints for finally addressing the size problem in their receiver room, others are iffy about the draft capital New Orleans had to give up to acquire the second-year wideout....

Yaccarino: First reactions to the Devaughn Vele trade

The New Orleans Saints have never shied away from making moves to put the team in a better position to win, no matter what the outlook for the season is. This was the case last season when the team traded a 7th for John Ridgeway to begin the season, and at the time I am writing this, it has happened again. New Orleans has traded a 2026 4th and a 2027 7th for Broncos WR Devaughn Vele.

When the news was first revealed that Vele was being traded to the Saints, it looked like an exceptional move due to what...
