A returner battle is brewing in New Orleans

A returner battle is brewing in New Orleans

Last season, the New Orleans Saints dealt with major special teams issues, leading to losses. It was not just the special teams causing these losses; if a few more FGs had been made, coverage on punts/kicks had been better, and returns had been better, the Saints may have been able to make the playoffs.

Understandably, many called for special teams coordinator Phil Galiano to be fired after the team’s struggles, but he is still on the staff. From the Saints’ perspective, the struggles were because of the roster, not the coaches. This argument by the team does make sense because...

Bryce Lance could be Saints’ biggest training camp sleeper

New Orleans Saints fourth-round pick Bryce Lance may be one of the most intriguing players to watch as training camp rapidly inches closer, as the rookie wide receiver is already turning heads.

The North Dakota State product impressed throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp, consistently finding ways to get open and make plays. His biggest statement came during the final open practice, where he hauled in two touchdown receptions.

His consistency also stood out. Across the Saints’ five open practices, Lance finished with the second-most receptions on the team, an impressive feat considering the competition in New Orleans’ wide receiver room....

Saints Reacts Survey: Which home game are you most looking forward to?

The New Orleans Saints have an interesting schedule this season facing the entire NFC and AFC North as well as the New York Giants. They will play 9 home games, one of which will be in Paris, France, the 1st NFL game in history played at the Stade de France.

Unfortunately, they will be on the road for their season opener in Detroit, followed by another road game for Week 2 in Baltimore, before finally getting to play at home in the Caesars Superdome in Week 3 against the Raiders. After two back-to-back games away from New Orleans, fans will...

Could this be Bub Means’ last chance with the Saints?

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bub Means is once again dealing with a lower-body injury during the early stages of the offseason program. While the team has taken a cautious approach with injured players ahead of training camp, another setback comes at an unfortunate time for Means.

The competition at wide receiver has only intensified, as Chris Olave remains the clear leader of the group, while rookie Jordyn Tyson is expected to have a significant role. Devaughn Vele has already generated buzz since arriving in New Orleans and strong end to the season, while fourth-round pick Bryce Lance has been...

Peyton Manning “pulling hard” for Tyler Shough ahead of sophomore campaign

Peyton Manning “pulling hard” for Tyler Shough ahead of sophomore campaign

A year ago, Tyler Shough was on hand to coach at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux. Peyton Manning praised his leadership and commitment at the time, highlighting his influence on the high schoolers in attendance.

A year later, with the camp celebrating its 30th anniversary, the elder Manning brother has once again been speaking highly of the Saints quarterback, who now has half a season of NFL football under his belt and is gearing up for a season where he enters the frame as QB1 in New Orleans.

“I thought Shough had a good year,” he told WGNO. “I...

Why veteran leadership is important on and off the field for this young Saints team

Last year, when the New Orleans Saints entered the offseason, the roster’s age was an issue. The future was not so bright with the lack of young, exciting options throughout the roster, but that all changed with an excellent 2025 draft class. The infusion of youth brought back hope to the fanbase, and getting even younger was bound to happen due to departures in free agency or potential retirements.

To start the offseason, Cam Jordan, Taysom Hill, and Demario Davis were all set to hit free agency. Each had roles, on and off the field, that would be very difficult...

CSC Poll Results: Which non-divisional game is most important for the Saints

In this week’s CSC poll question we asked our readers which non-divisional game do they think is the New Orleans Saints most important this year?

47.4% of voters said it was the opening game against the Detroit Lions.

The mantra of the most important game on your schedule being the next one proved true in this week’s poll, as most of you believed winning in the Motor City and getting off to a 1-0 start is the most important game the Saints can win outside of the NFC South this season. Despite missing the playoffs in 2025 the Detroit Lions...
