New Orleans is in no position to move up from 9 to 1.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results, so with that being said...

In 1999, the New Orleans Saints' front office traded their first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh round picks in that draft as well as the first and third rounders in the 2000 NFL Draft to move up to five and select Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams out of Texas.

Eight premium picks for one player that stayed in New Orleans for just three years...

PFF names Brandin Cooks as Saints’ free agent signing with the most upside

Somewhat a surprising choice.

The New Orleans Saints have been able to make some great moves so far this offseason, with some others being questioned in the eyes of some fans. While the full contract details for Brandin Cooks have not been revealed yet, what we do know so far is the overall number is for 2 years, $13 million. It is a bit too early to judge the contract, but with how the national media works, their grades/opinions on deals go off of whatever information is available at the time of the announcement, and many of the grades were...

Saints sign former Titans LG Dillon Radunz

Big help is on the way for New Orleans’ offensive line.

Last week, it was announced that the New Orleans Saints were set to meet with free-agent offensive guard Dillon Radunz. Since being drafted by the Tennessee Titans, Radunz has had an up-and-down start to his career. Still, the offensive lineman had the talent and potential to be a solid starter in this league. With the Saints having a hole at LG, a deal here made sense for both sides and today, it was announced that the Saints have officially signed Dillon Radunz on a one-year deal.

The numbers on...
