It’s a little disappointing this is even a thought
College football is an interesting beast. It’s so common to see players dominate at that level and then go on to disappoint in the NFL that nearly everyone gets second-guessed before the draft. If that happens to Ohio State’s Justin Fields in the draft, it would be a huge boon for the Saints and Sean Payton, and they would be remiss not to take him at 27.
While it’s...

Y’all thought Marcus Davenport was a project.
If you thought Marcus Davenport was a work in progress, Tanoh Kpassagnon is on another level.
With ridiculous measurables and athleticism — 4.8 40 yard dash and a 128” broad jump at the NFL Combine to go with a 6’7” and 289 pound body — Kpassagnon had scouts drooling once they first set eyes on him.
He dominated poor competition at Villanova, and was selected towards the end of the second round of the 2017...
I like it. I like it a lot.

Who the Saints should target to replace
Kwon Alexander was a mid-season addition to the New Orleans Saints that helped take their defense to the next level. The Saints sent off a 5th-round pick and LB Kiko Alonso to San Fransico for Kwon Alexander to pair next to Demario Davis. The Alexander-Davis duo anchored one of the best defenses in the NFL immediately following the trade. Unfortunately, Alexander tore his Achilles tendon versus the Minnesota Vikings and...

Saints receivers 2020 season was marred by injuries
2020 Season ReviewThe 2020 Saints passing game was marred by injures to its two most important players. Drew Brees and Michael Thomas only played two full games together in 2020, as they both suffered injuries that held them out of multiple games. The season was ultimately lost for Michael Thomas, as he was injured all year and even when he was able to play, it was with Taysom Hill at QB for a majority...

From the looks of things this summer he is eager to seize the moment ahead of him. Canal Street Chronicles got a chance to talk with Coach Aaron Day, who is a defensive line trainer, about the work...

...or at least one where either side has an equal chance of winning.
Contrary to popular belief, there is not an open quarterback competition for the New Orleans Saints.
I know what Sean Payton is saying. I know the team and the players - Jameis Winston included - have said that Winston and Taysom Hill are competing for the starting quarterback job in 2021. There’s even a chance the players, coaches, and front office all believe there’s a legitimate...

If Sean Payton is serious about Jameis Winston as the future, now is the time to make it work
Year after year, fans of quarterback-needy teams around the NFL look at QBs on the chopping block and go “I can fix him.” For the first time since 2006, Mickey Loomis and the New Orleans Saints are in this position, as they look to replace a Hall of Fame arm in Drew Brees. There’s not shortage of players whose names have been mentioned to helm the offense for...

The New Orleans Saints provide some clarity for the future by trading up for a quarterback.
Hello! We are just over three weeks from the NFL Draft. There aren’t many more of these mocks left. Why don’t we look at a scenario that if you presented me about a month ago, I would’ve laughed at you. Now? Not so much. This is apparently something that could realistically happen. Here, the New Orleans Saints trade up for Justin Fields.
I decided to switch it...

Life without Drew Brees begins now
The New Orleans Saints knew inevitably they would have transition to life after Drew Brees. The future Hall of Fame quarterback made that reality official last month by calling it quits after an illustrious career in the NFL. The Saints know they must work to find Brees’ heir apparent, and whether that quarterback is already in the building or coming up in the draft remains to be seen. What is certain is that things...

We have previously covered three wide receivers the New Orleans Saints could look to as a potential replacement for the recently-released Emmanuel Sanders. Now, let’s look at a pair of receivers the Saints - and Saints fans - shouldn’t be relying on to potentially pick up Sanders’s snaps in the 2021 Saints offense.

Could the Saints take a look at the former Illinois QB in the latter rounds?
NFL draft season is upon us and each year teams look for that diamond in the rough that can make a significant impact for their team. For Illinois State quarterback Brady Davis, he is no stranger to being counted out. His confidence, however, is unwavering and he expects to be counted on at the next level.
