The New Orleans Saints have finally added some height to their wide receiver room with the acquisition of former Denver Broncos 2024 seventh-round NFL draft pick Devaughn Vele in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-rounder.

The 27-year-old, standing 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, hauled in 41 of 56 targets (9 contested catches and 4 drops) for 475 yards and 3 touchdowns as a rookie in Denver, earning a 71.4 receiving grade from Pro Football Focus—10th among rookie wideouts.

Broncos signal callers had a 74.5% completion rate when targeting the Utah Utes alum last season, according to [Luke...

The New Orleans Saints could very well be picking near the top of the order in the 2026 NFL Draft. Depending on how Tyler Shough performs – if he’s even the starter – they could have their eyes on one of the top quarterbacks in the class. Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar, LaNorris Sellers, Cade Klubnik, and others are all in contention for that QB1 spot, but there’s a certain someone from Austin, Texas who could be as well.

For months, there has been speculation on whether or not Arch Manning would enter the NFL Draft after one year as the...

Looking back at the 2020 NFL Draft, many selections in the first round were confusing and questionable decisions. Due to the pandemic, the scouting process was changed entirely, and NFL teams could not complete the normal amount of draft homework that was done in past years. Some notable mistakes that may have been avoided in past years were the Detroit Lions selecting Jeff Okudah at 3, the Philadelphia Eagles selecting Jalen Reagor just one pick before the Minnesota Vikings took Justin Jefferson, and the Las Vegas Raiders entire draft class. Although examples like these are glaring, many other teams could...

Earlier this week, the New Orleans Saints made a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, sending DT Khalen Sanders to the Jags in exchange for C Luke Fortner. The move was pretty simple; Sanders was likely to be cut from the Saints, and Fortner was likely to be cut from the Jags, so both teams made a move to fill a position of need and give each player a chance to make an active roster.

Today, we’re going to take a look at Fortner’s PFF stats and grades and see just what the Saints are getting in their new center.

Timed alongside the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the 50th birthday of the stadium that came to symbolize both refuge and renewal, CNN Original Series New Orleans: Soul of a City will air a special preview of its premiere episode, “Rebirth of the Superdome” on Sunday, August 24 at 8 p.m. CT.

Twenty years ago, Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf Coast, flooding much of New Orleans and driving tens of thousands to seek shelter in the storm-battered Superdome. Once a scene of desperation, the stadium became a cornerstone of the city’s recovery — its revival culminating in the...

In the first post-practice press conference after the New Orleans Saints’ tie against the Jacksonville Jaguars, many of the questions given to head coach Kellen Moore were about the QBs. A starter has yet to be named for the regular season, and Moore reiterated that the Saints are taking their time to evaluate the QBs (Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough). Still, a starter could have been named before the next preseason game, but Moore has chosen to wait until after that game to make their decision. So, here we look at some of the pros and cons of that decision...

Derek Carr Returning To NFL World After Retirement Bombshell

More former New Orleans Saints are coming back to TV after retiring from the league.

The New Orleans Saints have announced today that they won’t name a starting quarterback until after their preseason Week 3 matchup with the Denver Broncos, per head coach Kellen Moore.

The Saints have a three-way battle between rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener. While Haener is still listed as a candidate for the job in the team’s second unofficial depth chart, it’s likely a battle between Shough and Rattler.

Shough and Rattler have seen the most play time in the preseason and have each been given a chance to start. Through two games, the young signal callers...

Sunday marked the second game of the preseason for the New Orleans Saints as they took on the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars just three weeks out from the start of the 2025 NFL regular season.

First Quarter

After Spencer Rattler started for the black and gold in Los Angeles a week ago, it was rookie Tyler Shough who got the nod at quarterback in this one, though he was made to wait for Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense to conduct the opening drive of the game.

A steady possession resulted in nothing for the visitors, however, as the Saints...

The New Orleans Saints, led by first-year head coach Kellen Moore, faced the Jacksonville Jaguars and their first-year head coach Liam Coen on Sunday at Caesars Superdome, ending in a dramatic 17-17 draw. Here are three potential overreactions following Week 2 of the 2025 preseason:

Have the Saints hit the jackpot on a franchise tackle in back-to-back drafts?

While it’s still early, it looks like New Orleans has struck gold again by selecting first-round offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. out of Texas with the No. 9 overall pick.

Last year, the Saints drafted Taliese Fuaga out of Oregon State at...

The New Orleans Saints made the boring, but right pick at No. 9, selecting Texas OT Kelvin Banks. They could’ve been flashy and taken a quarterback or one of the top tight ends, but instead, they bolstered their offensive line, which really needed to improve after multiple seasons of poor performance.

Many fans tune into preseason games to watch their flashy new rookie, or in the case of some teams, for the quarterback battle. For Saints fans, the latter has been the case. Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough are in the midst of a wildly competitive battle for the QB1...
