Saints WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. continues to impress as roster cuts approach

Saints WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. continues to impress as roster cuts approach

The veteran receiver remains a strong candidate for the team’s open WR3 spot.

The New Orleans Saints added veteran WR Cedrick Wilson in free agency this offseason following the departure of former Saints WR Michael Thomas. At 6’2”, Wilson’s frame and skillset could help fill Thomas’ role as the team’s big-body slot receiver, as he is also an above-average blocker at the position.

During Saints HC Dennis Allen’s post-practice press conference on Friday, he emphasized the leadership and experience that Wilson provides for the rather young position group. With roster cuts looming, Allen pointed out the veteran’s willingness to block...

Expectations for the Saints offense in the final preseason game

Expectations for the Saints offense in the final preseason game

New Orleans offense has been disappointing this preseason, but can they turn it around on Sunday?

The New Orleans Saints take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, August 25th for their final preseason game of the year. I think it’s fair to say the Saints offense has been somewhat disappointing thus far, scoring just 26 points through 120 minutes of play this preseason.

This week, something needs to change. Some of the fanbase is already beginning to lose hope for the season after it seems like little has changed from last year, but with a solid outing on Sunday, maybe...

ESPN’s preseason mock draft has Saints select LSU OT Will Campbell

ESPN’s preseason mock draft has Saints select LSU OT Will Campbell

Campbell would be the Saints third first-round tackle in four years.

ESPN insider Field Yates released his preseason first-round mock draft for 2025. In this mock, Yates has the New Orleans Saints selecting LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell with the 10th overall pick. This would be the first time the Saints have selected a player out of LSU since 2018, when they selected offensive lineman Will Clapp.

Campbell is 6’6, 324 pounds, and would be just 21 when drafted. The big lineman is already projected as a possible top five pick with some mocks having him go in the top...

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Saints vs. 49ers

What went wrong for New Orleans in the loss in San Francisco?

The Good: Defensive Line

The New Orleans Saints defensive line was able to put constant pressure on 49ers starter Brock Purdy. Bryan Bresee was able to create pressure up the middle and force an incompletion on 3rd down while Carl Granderson sacked Purdy out of bounds to end the 49ers next drive. Chase Young looks like the Pro Bowl caliber player he is when healthy so far and stood out on almost every play he was on the field during this game. The Saints held the 49ers...

With roster cuts looming, could Miller’s spot be jeopardy after missing the entirety of training camp due to injury?

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller, who sustained a hamstring injury during the first individual drill on Day 1 of training camp, has yet to return as Wednesday’s practice concludes. Frustration from Saints HC Dennis Allen appears to be becoming more apparent as roster cuts approach (August 27th).

Throughout training camp, Dennis Allen has emphasized how difficult it is to evaluate a player who is not on the field. When asked specifically about Miller, Allen noted that there’s little new information...

With the second game of the preseason in the books, let’s take a look at who stood out this week for New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints fell 16-10 to the San Francisco 49ers in their second preseason matchup of 2024. However, the starters looked much better on Sunday night compared to the team’s victory in the preseason opener. New Orleans managed to execute one of their longest drives in years by opening up the offense with a potent run game, something they’ve lacked in recent seasons.
