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...

Before Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, Brandin Cooks, Marques Colston and Lance Moore, there was Joe “Hollywood” Horn. Later today, the charismatic former New Orleans Saints wide receiver will be inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches.

The Saints’ offseason has been nothing short of exciting. From Tyler Shough immersing himself in the culture of New Orleans, to the addition of multiple explosive offensive weapons, to the lingering and now resolved questions that surrounding the futures of Cam Jordan and Alvin Kamara, there has been no shortage of storylines.
The situation surrounding Kamara was particularly interesting because he was already under contract. Earlier in the offseason, the Saints created additional salary cap space, signaling that they could potentially move on from him through free agency or even during the NFL Draft.
Those days are now long gone....

The Saints’ offense struggled to find consistency last season, and that inconsistency even spilled over into their inability to start games effectively. When examining the offense, there are several areas that could be blamed, but one of the primary issues was play at the line of scrimmage.
The offensive line has been a constant concern in recent years, and it has not been due to a lack of investment. Entering the 2025 season, the Saints fielded a starting offensive line that featured four first-round picks and a high second-round selection who was drafted in a year when the Saints did...

Brendan Sorsby’s name has dominated headlines across the sports world for what feels like forever now. It appears, however, that the drama may finally begin to settle down.
Earlier this week, the NFL denied Sorsby’s request to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft.
The Supplemental Draft is designed for college players who miss the traditional NFL Draft because of academic or eligibility issues. Unlike the traditional draft, there is no predetermined selection order. Instead, teams submit the round in which they would be willing to draft an eligible player. If multiple teams submit bids, the team offering the highest round wins...

When looking around the New Orleans Saints roster, there are some players who stand out as candidates for contract extensions soon. Some players are in the midst of those conversations, and others may need to start having those discussions.
So, let’s look at some of the Saints’ players who should be getting extensions soon.
The timing of contract extensions is interesting: getting it done as early as possible is smart before the market rises, but doing it too early could be risky if the player’s ability declines or there are injuries. Then waiting might be necessary if...

Although running back Travis Etienne Jr. was on a different team for the 2025 season, he was announced as the second member of the New Orleans Saints with a spot on the NFL Top-100 list this year.

Etienne signed with New Orleans as a free agent this offseason after the two sides agreed to a 4-year, $52 million contract. The Louisiana native played his prep football with the Jennings High School Bulldogs.

Former New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis has earned the 95th spot of the NFL’s Top 100 players list for 2025. This marks the sixth appearance on the list for Davis, who is entering his 15th NFL Season.
Unfortunately, after 8 seasons with the Saints, Davis departed New Orleans for the New York Jets in March during free agency. Davis was drafted by New York back in 2012 and this his 3rd stint with the team.
During the 2025 season, Davis started all 17 games for the Saints, racking up a career-high 143 tackles (64 solo and 79 assists)...
