The Saints’ starting QB is still to be determined but the decision is coming soon

When comparing the New Orleans Saints with the rest of the NFL, they are the only team without a named starting quarterback. This makes sense given the battle being so close, but the team needs to make a decision soon. Many had hoped that it would be announced today in head coach Kellen Moore’s press conference, but alas, that was not the case, and we will have to wait a bit longer. According to Moore, the decision between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler is reaching the last stages and should become official in the coming days. When asked how close...

Overreactions: Saints vs. Broncos

The New Orleans Saints hosted the Denver Broncos at Caesars Superdome on Saturday for their preseason finale, falling 28-19. Let’s take a look at three overreactions from this weekend’s matchup.

New Orleans will be looking for a new starting RG after the season.

After taking a significant leap in production in 2024, fifth-year guard and former first-round pick Cesar Ruiz has had a pretty underwhelming preseason. He finished Saturday’s game with a 47.5 overall grade from Pro Football Focus (49.3 RBK and 45.8 PBK) and allowed a pressure in all three preseason games.

The Saints inked Ruiz to a four-year,...

Who was the Saints’ breakout player vs. the Broncos?

The New Orleans Saints wrapped up the 2025 preseason with a 28-19 loss to the Denver Broncos on Saturday, led by familiar faces Sean Payton and Darren Rizzi.

The week’s standout player capped an extremely impressive preseason with another eye-opening performance. The breakout from the Saints’ preseason finale loss to the Broncos is OL Torricelli Simpkins III.

The UDFA out of South Carolina posted a 77.1 overall grade from Pro Football Focus (80.7 RBK and 67.1 PBK) after allowing just one hurry on 26 pass-blocking snaps against the Broncos. According to The 33rd Team, Simpkins’ 109 pass-protection snaps without allowing...

Yaccarino’s final Saints 53-man roster prediction

The 53-man roster deadline is this Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and the New Orleans Saints have many important decisions to make. Back at the end of May, I made my own early predictions for the final roster, but at that point, there was much uncertainty with many different positions.
