Over the final five games of the 2025 season in December and January, Young racked up 19 tackles, 5 sacks, 6 tackles for loss, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

After missing the first 5 games due to a calf injury, Young returned in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2025, he recorded...

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Kellen Moore held a joint press conference on Wednesday to wrap up the 2025 season. For roughly 50 minutes, they took questions from the local media on several topics and gave a little insight on their plans for the immediate future.

Here are some important quotes and key statements from yesterday’s presser:

Mickey Loomis on if quarterback Tyler Shough’s success was surprising:

The New Orleans Saints’ decision to ink DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million contract extension with $33 million guaranteed drew heavy criticism this offseason. Tired of the “bust” label, the former No. 2 overall pick responded with a career year.

After missing the first five games of the season with a calf injury, Young recorded the first double-digit sack season of his career with 10 and led the team with 49 total pressures in just 12 appearances—10 more than Carl Granderson, who finished second with 39 pressures in 17 games. He also finished the year with 38 total...

New Orleans Saints saw steady leadership from Kellen Moore amid early setbacks

It was a long season for the Saints, but Kellen Moore’s improvement throughout was one of the top takeaways from the year.

The New Orleans Saints finished last in the NFC South this season, and as a result, they will face three opponents next season that also finished last in their respective divisions. This is excellent news for the Saints’ hopes of improving their record next year, but it also plummets their strength of schedule.

According to @sfdata9ners, the Saints have the second-easiest schedule when using current records.

Strength of schedule is always an interesting factor to consider when projecting future win totals, and for the Saints, it seems they could have a chance to improve on this season. Obviously, the offseason...

A much better feeling entering this offseason.

The New Orleans Saints have signed CFL standout WR Damien Alford to a reserve/futures contract on Tuesday afternoon, per reports.

The six-foot-six, 224-pound wideout spent four seasons at Syracuse from 2020 to 2023, hauling in 67 receptions for 1,291 yards (19.3 per catch) and seven touchdowns. In his final season with the Orange, he posted a career-high 33 receptions for 610 yards and three touchdowns before transferring to Utah in 2024, where he appeared in just four games for the Utes without recording a reception.

Still just 24 years old, Alford was the first pick in the 2025 CFL draft...

The New Orleans Saints 2025 season officially came to an end on Sunday as the team fell 19-17 to the Falcons in Atlanta to finish 6-11 on the season. Back in September there weren’t many expectations for the team who were in rebuild mode with a new head coach, offensive and defensive coordinators and a lot of uncertainty at the quarterback position after the Saints drafted Tyler Shough in the 2nd round back in April. While Spencer Rattler started in Week 1, Shough cemented his position as the new franchise quarterback before going into Week 18.

Since taking over in...

The New Orleans Saints’ four-game win streak and the ultimate end of their 2025 season came to a close on Sunday after suffering a road defeat, 19-17, at the hands of the bitter rival Atlanta Falcons. The loss marked the first time that New Orleans was swept by Atlanta since 2016. Although this season comes to a close on a sour note, fans and those within the organization have reason to be hopeful for what’s to come in the future of Saints’ football. Here is how social media reacted to the season finale loss.

The Good: Defensive Line

The New Orleans Saints defensive line got after Kirk Cousins on Sunday, logging 4 sacks against the veteran quarterback to go with 8 tackles for loss. The Saints defense finished with 45 sacks this year which was good enough for 10th in the NFL. Cameron Jordan finished with 10.5 sacks, which was good enough for 13th in the NFL and was his most since 2021 and the seventh double digit sack season of his career. Chase Young finished with 10 sacks in just 12 games, finishing 6th in the NFL in sacks per game and...

Here’s a recap of the New Orleans Saints’ final game of the NFL regular season, as the black and gold sought a fifth straight win in a divisional tilt against the Atlanta Falcons.

First Quarter

Atlanta began the game by going three and out, but Juwan Johnson fumbled after he caught Tyler Shough’s first throw of the game to immediately restore possession for the hosts.

Though it was soon the Falcons turning it over, as Kirk Cousins was picked off by Carl Granderson in the red zone.

The teams then exchanged three straight punts, the third of which was...
