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.

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...

However, this may not be the last we see of him.
On Tuesday, every team in the NFL had to cut their roster from 90 players to 53. Among the casualties for the New Orleans Saints was Charlie Smyth, a rookie kicker out of Northern Ireland.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Already battling the incumbent kicker in Blake Grupe, the Irishman suffered a groin injury before the preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans However, this doesn’t mean that we’ll be seeing the last of Smyth, with him arriving in New Orleans via the International Player Pathway. If Smyth clears...

The deadline has come and gone, and the Saints are officially down to a 53-man roster. As always, there were some surprise cuts, but some of those players who were waived could be signed to the team’s practice squad starting tomorrow.

Behind Olave and Shaheed, who deserves a roster spot?
The New Orleans Saints’ wide receiver room is young, hungry, and vying for limited spots on the 53-man roster ahead of week one.
After some drop concerns in the final preseason game, plenty of fans are concerned about the WR depth chart past obvious starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. Most NFL teams keep around five to seven receivers on an active roster, so here’s a prediction for the lucky six and their pecking order on the initial depth chart
Olave is the clear WR1 in New Orleans....

Although the Saints didn’t secure the win in the dome, there were still some notable performances that should excite fans about the team’s future, alongside a few concerns for this upcoming season.

The defensive line takes a hit going into the season.
The New Orleans Saints have a much-improved defensive line going into the 2024 NFL season, but injuries can always change that. Per Nick Underhill, Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders will miss a few weeks due to a calf injury.
With this news, there is a chance the Saints may elect to place Saunders on IR to start the season. This would make him unavailable for the first four games of the season, but it would also open up another roster spot for today’s 53-man roster deadline. The Saints usually go...

Despite the loss, I’d say it was a win for New Orleans.
Yesterday, the New Orleans Saints played their final preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. While the team couldn’t get the win, I still think this was a great game by the Saints.
There were a couple of big storylines in play for New Orleans, the biggest of which being the battle for the backup quarterback spot. Alternating quarters, the competition between the Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler would reach its finale. Haener would get the start, and unfortunately wasn’t able to put any points on the board. Ailing...
