The Jimmy Graham trade: Results after 10 years

The Jimmy Graham trade: Results after 10 years

What was the fallout from the 2015 Jimmy Graham trade?

Many will look back at the 2024 season of the New Orleans Saints and hope that a new coaching staff and potentially better luck when it comes to staying healthy could propel the Saints to the postseason for the first time since 2020, but this post looks back even further. Specifically, twice as far back all the way to 2015 when Mickey Loomis and John Schneider shocked the NFL world by trading Pro Bowl players.

CSC Poll: Which free agent would you like to see the Saints to sign?

New Orleans now has some money to spend so should they bring in one of the few big names left?

In our most recent poll we asked readers which of the following free agents would you like to see the New Orleans Saints sign now that the retirement of Derek Carr has cleared up some cap space:

In a close race, pass rusher Za’Darius Smith won with 30.7% of the votes. Smith played last season for the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions and registered 9 total sacks. He has gotten 9+ sacks in each full season but one since 2019...

New Orleans makes a trip to the Windy City to visit the Bears in Week 7.

The New Orleans Saints will make a trip to the Windy City in week 7 for one of their more interesting matchups this season vs the Chicago Bears.

There are a lot of storylines surrounding this game. Kellen Moore vs Ben Johnson in their first years as head coaches. Dennis Allen coaching against his former team. Caleb Williams vs Tyler Shough. Even though the Saints aren’t expected to be amazing this year, this could be quite an interesting matchup.

Offensively, the Bears hope they...

Quarterback update from OTAs-Canal St Chronicles

Aaron Rodgers says he is not interested in playing for the Saints

Aaron Rodgers says he is not interested in playing for the Saints

The 10-time Pro-Bowl QB is currently a free agent.

While the New Orleans Saints currently have 4 quarterbacks on the roster, there have still been questions as to whether they would sign a veteran QB to bring some experience to that position group. It was an even bigger question this past week, as news came out that QB Jake Haener is dealing with an oblique injury and is likely out until training camp.

While there has been no concrete information that the Saints are even interested in veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, who is currently a free agent, his name has...

Saints OTA Quarterback updates

What to know about the quarterback room now that OTAs are in session.

Following Thursday’s practice session, New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore has provided some insight into what the quarterback room will look like during OTAs and into the offseason.

“For the most part, the quarterbacks have just been rotating, just kind of by the day,” Moore said in a meeting with media. “I don’t want them looking into a ‘who’s in, who’s out?’, create a little bit of rhythm each day. ...it’ll rotate throughout the whole offseason.”

The coach went on to say that third-year QB Jake...

Kelvin Banks Jr. takes OT reps while Trevor Penning moves inside at OTAs

Kelvin Banks Jr. takes OT reps while Trevor Penning moves inside at OTAs

The Saints’ first round pick could be the day one left tackle.

The New Orleans Saints began OTAs earlier this week, and the media got an early look at the team on Thursday. During their viewing period, NOF reported that Kelvin Banks Jr. was the starting left tackle while Trevor Penning kicked inside to left guard. Taliese Fuaga also moved to right tackle after playing left tackle last season.

This move isn’t necessarily final, there could still be some changes and maybe they find out the Banks is better at guard and move Penning back to tackle, but from Kellen...

Jennings: Three under-the-radar Saints for 2025

These overlooked players may have a bigger impact than expected for New Orleans this season.

As the New Orleans Saints turn the page and begin their next chapter, depth players will need to step up if the team hopes to stay competitive in a relatively weak division. With that in mind, here are three guys I believe aren’t getting enough attention but could end up playing a much bigger role than initially anticipated.

WR - Cedrick Wilson Jr.

During the 2024 offseason, New Orleans agreed to terms with veteran WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. on a two-year, $5.7 million deal,...

A look ahead at the Saints vs. Giants in Week 5

New Orleans needs to avoid the Jameis Winston revenge game.

The New Orleans Saints will be facing the New York Giants at home in a Week 5 matchup. The Giants went 3-14 last year but even with that lackluster performance, this is a game that I have circled on my calendar due to the potential Jameis Winston return game.

While these are not two teams coming off contending seasons looking to duke it out in the second month of the young season but that doesn’t mean there isn’t intrigue, even if it’s niche.

The big elephant in the room will...
