SB Nation Reacts Results: How confident are you that the Saints are headed in the right direction and how would you grade their 2025 season?

The 2025 New Orleans Saints season is over and while some teams are looking toward the playoffs, the Saints are already looking to build upon the momentum they had at the end of the season even finishing 6-11. In a rebuild year, they have started to build a pretty solid foundation with Kellen Moore, who seemed to find his franchise quarterback and potential offensive rookie of the year Tyler Shough in the 2nd round of last year’s draft and also in Brandon Staley, who completely turned the defense around this season led by a rejuvenated Chase Young, Demario Davis and...

Saints Final 2025 power ranking

Saints Final 2025 power ranking

NFL.com – 23 (=)

“The Saints became far more competitive down the stretch in Kellen Moore’s first season, showing tangible growth with the move to QB Tyler Shough and finishing the campaign as a surprisingly effective team on defense. The four-game win streak was snapped by Week 18’s loss to Atlanta, one that highlighted some real issues on special teams. The Saints won’t compete for the playoffs next season unless they make major fixes to that element of the operation, and there are some aging veterans and long-time fixtures on each side of the ball whose futures remain...

What would an extension for Chris Olave look like for the Saints?

What would an extension for Chris Olave look like for the Saints?

Fourth-year New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is coming off a career season, logging 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and 9 touchdowns. Olave started the year off slowly. While getting plenty of targets, he failed to reach 100 receiving yards in a game until Week 10, and the big plays were missing from his game.

It wasn’t until the New Orleans Saints decided to move on from standout wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and start rookie quarterback Tyler Shough that we saw Olave become the receiver we knew him to be. Since Week 10, the former first-round pick has brought...

Ups and downs from the Saints’ 2025 season

Ups and downs from the Saints’ 2025 season

The 2025 NFL season didn’t go how we expected for the New Orleans Saints… kinda. We knew that New Orleans was going to be one of the bottom teams in terms of wins, but you won’t find a happier 6-win team. The Saints aren’t happy because they won six games, not in the slightest, but an emergence of a potential coach of the future, franchise quarterback, and a homerun draft class, the black and gold may be set up to compete, maybe even starting in 2026.

In what was known to be a down season for the Saints, many players...
