If Saints win/lose vs Cardinals

The 2025 NFL regular season is at last just days away. With the New Orleans Saints’ regular season opener against the Arizona Cardinals fast approaching, it’s time to take a look at what either a win or a defeat would mean for the black and gold.

If the Saints win

Winning games of NFL football is never easy. So if the Saints are able to put Sunday in the win column, it means at least some aspects must have gone well. It likely means Spencer Rattler puts on a show at quarterback and the Saints offense manages to shirk...

What factors will define the 2025 Saints?

Success for the New Orleans Saints in 2025 will be different depending on who you ask. Some are hoping New Orleans can make a playoff push, while others are more concerned about draft positioning for the black and gold. However, the win column isn’t what will determine the success for the Saints during the 2025 season.

Finding an Answer at Quarterback

The Saints quarterback competition ended disappointingly during the preseason. Neither signal caller was able to steal the job, and the decision ultimately came down to second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler winning the job via a coaching decision. While Rattler...

Saints have released defensive back J.T. Gray

In a surprise move on Monday, the New Orleans Saints have released defensive back J.T. Gray. Head Coach Kellen Moore made the announcement during his afternoon press conference.

Gray was signed by the Saints as an undrafted free agent in May 2018. He quickly became a special teams standout in New Orleans. Grey was named a first-team All-Pro in 2021, second-team All-Pro twice (2019, 2024) and was selected to the Pro-Bowl in 2021. In March 2023, Gray signed a three-year contract extension with the Saints.

Moore said releasing Gray was one of the hardest decisions made this year. Calling it...

Saints working out former Chargers WR Brenden Rice

The New Orleans Saints are bringing in former Los Angeles Chargers 2024 seventh-round pick Brenden Rice for a workout, per Jordan Schultz.

Rice, the son of NFL Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Rice, was a standout wide receiver at USC, putting up 791 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2023, earning Second-Team All-Pac-12 honors. Despite his success in college, the second-year wideout has yet to record a stat in the NFL.

At 6-foot-3, Rice is a physical receiver and wins off of press with his hands. He highpoints the ball at a high level is a great target for 50/50 balls....
