The New Orleans Saints concluded their last season with a 9-8 record and were second in the NFC South. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, Derek Carr led the Saints in his first season.

He played in seventeen games and registered 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions. He completed 68 percent of his passes. The general manager of the Saints, Mickey Loomis shared how Carr would be holding his mantle for the upcoming NFL season, during his recent appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

He mentioned, “Like anyone would be, the surroundings are more familiar, the coaches are more familiar, the environment that we have in our building is familiar. But, one thing that’s been understated, it’s on purpose is Derek had a pretty tough year last year, physically. He got rocked pretty good in the Green Bay game and it took a number of games for him to get feeling like himself.”...

Saints sign OL Lucas Patrick to 1-year deal

The New Orleans Saints and interior offensive lineman Lucas Patrick have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. Patrick is expected to sign on Monday.

Patrick, 30, went undrafted in 2016 before signing with the Green Bay Packers. Patrick has appeared in 96 games throughout his career starting in 56. The veteran lineman started 15 games for the Chicago Bears in 2023 allowing 25 total hurries without giving up a sack.

Patrick can play all positions in the interior of the line providing much-needed versatility for the Saints. New Orleans used their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to...

Saints say poor NFLPA report card didn't spark cafeteria renovations

It doesn’t sound like the New Orleans Saints’ leadership team was surprised to receive a poor grade on their team’s food options, but that doesn’t mean recent NFL Players Association report cards prompted extensive renovations to the cafeteria. The Saints were graded with an F in both 2023 and 2022 for their food/cafeteria offerings. So it’s easy to speculate that ongoing cafeteria construction (which is sending the team’s 2024 training camp to California) could be a response to that performance.

Team president Dennis Lauscha tackled that topic in a recent press conference with local...

Here’s some improved depth for the New Orleans Saints’ offensive line. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reported that the Saints have reached an agreement with free agent lineman Lucas Patrick on a one-year deal. Patrick has spent seven years in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers and, most recently, the Chicago Bears. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent from Duke.

Last year Patrick started 15 games at center for Chicago, where he worked with Andrew Janocko; the current Saints quarterbacks coach held the same role with the Bears. In his career Patrick has logged 1,000-plus...

B/R says Derek Carr is entering 2024 under immense pressure

Quarterback is the most important position in football, so determining your starter is, logically, one of the most important decisions you can make. The Saints have been bouncing from starter to starter over the last few years. Barring injury, Derek Carr should be the first quarterback to start the majority of games in back to back seasons since Drew Brees.

If you ask Maurice Moton, Carr will be doing so in a make-or-break season. The Bleacher Report writer laid out six quarterbacks who are entering seasons where they must perform or risk being moved on from:

Saints plan on returning to New Orleans for their 2025 training camp

It’s safe to say the New Orleans Saints moving their 2024 training camp to California isn’t a very popular move. Taking one of the most accessible events for fans and sending it halfway across the country, where NFL rules may not even allow fans on the West Coast to attend practices, has drawn a lot of criticism.

Ongoing renovations to the team headquarters and the construction of a new cafeteria meant the Saints would be taking their training camp on the road this summer. But the plan is to be back for 2025 and beyond. Team president Dennis Lauscha addressed that during a Saturday press...

You can’t say Gayle Benson isn’t investing in her team. The New Orleans Saints shared renderings of future plans and progress updates on renovations to their headquarters in Metairie, with work beginning on the team cafeteria as well as the indoor practice facility. It’s all part of a wide-reaching endeavor to modernize everything from the team’s draft-day war room to their locker room at the Caesars Superdome. Expansions to the weight room, media room and team meeting rooms are part of the plan, too.

It’s been a busy weekend at the New Orleans Saints practice facility — 60 players gathered for rookie minicamp workouts, a third of them free agents participating on a tryout basis. This is an important opportunity for them to make their case for a spot on the Saints’ training camp roster later this summer.

And we’ve collected the best photos from the team’s rookie camp, featuring Saints rookie draft picks like Taliese Fuaga and Spencer Rattler as well as coaches Klint Kubiak and Dennis Allen. Here’s your first look at the newcomers in black and gold:

Taliese Fuaga knocking off the rust at left tackle in Saints rookie minicamp

  • News source: John Sigler

This was mildly surprising. When the New Orleans Saints took the field for rookie minicamp practices this weekend, former Oregon State right tackle Taliese Fuaga was lining up on the left side of the line. He hasn’t played left tackle since he was in high school, but the Saints must be prepared in case they need him there in the fall.

And it makes more sense to have Fuaga knock off the rust in May than in August or September. He told reporters after practice that “Yeah, it’s just, you know a little rusty over there on the left side. Definitely got to get those reps in again.”
