Paulson Adebo is getting some love after being named one of NFL.com's most underappreciated players.
By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI
The Saints cornerback situation will be an interesting spot to pay close attention to this year, and they'll need every piece of the puzzle for continued success. One of the defense's brightest spots from last season was Paulson Adebo, who enters a contract year in 2024. Recently, he was praised by NFL.com's Tom Blair as one of the league's most underappreciated players.
One highlight of the Saints' forgettable 2023 season was the pass defense -- and one player who shined individually within that unit was Adebo, a second-year pro who tied for the team lead in picks (four). He also ranked third in the NFL in passes defensed (18) and posted the 10th-best passer rating allowed (58.5), according to NGS (min. 400 coverage snaps). Whether or not Derek Carr and the offense can fully cohere after an up-and-down 2023 is still uncertain, but Adebo is one of a handful of young standouts (along with Carl Granderson, Bryan Bresee and Alontae Taylor) who can help keep New Orleans competitive on D while Carr and Co. try to take a step forward.
Adebo appeared in 15 games for New Orleans last year, posting career highs in almost every category, which included tackles (76), interceptions (4), pass breakups (18), picks (4) and forced and recovered fumbles (2 eacg). To say he rebounded in a huge way after the 2022 campaign is a bit of an understatement. Remember when fans were ready to move off of him? ...

Tyrann Mathieu makes the cut for list of NFL's 11 best safeties
Shoutout to Tyrann Mathieu. The New Orleans Saints safety is aging like fine wine, and he earned a spot on Touchdown Wire’s list of the 11 best safeties in the NFL for his efforts in 2023. He’ll continue to be a major playmaker and leader in the secondary for New Orleans, but here’s why TD Wire’s Doug Farrar argues Mathieu is so special:
Farrar ranked Mathieu 8th-best among his peers, alongside NFC South rivals like Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (No. 2; Winfield is also the highest-paid safety in the NFL), Atlanta Falcons standout Jessie Bates III (No. 5), and Carolina...

Saints linebacker duo find themselves on PFF Top 32 LB rankings
New Orleans Saints linebackers Demario Davis and Willie Gay Jr. made the list for the NFL’s 32 best linebackers at Pro Football Focus. This made them one of 11 teams to place multiple players on the list. Gay’s skillset has already sparked some excitement this offseason, and seeing the pairing included in exclusive company should only fan the flames.
It is no surprise Davis found himself near the top of the list. He has been one of the best in the NFL and a perennial All-Pro player for a half-decade. He comes in as the third best linebacker in PFF’s list. Even at 35, Davis continues to be...

Where Saints rank in salary cap space after June 1 cuts
The New Orleans Saints did not gain much from the releases of Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston taking effect on June 1, but they did get a little more breathing-room. So where do they stand against the rest of the NFL in unspent salary cap space?
If the Saints want to make many more moves before training camp, they’ll have to get creative. Affording more big additions might be beyond them. But they do have enough cap space to add a couple of veterans or pull off a trade in the weeks ahead, if they’re interested.

Spencer Rattler can do a lot of things well, but we can’t say he has a great future in the arts. The New Orleans Saints quarterback was invited to participate at the NFL Rookie Premiere in May, and among other events he tried his turn at painting his new team’s logo from memory. He has a high profile despite being a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft.
“This is embarrassing,” Rattler laughed, holding up a painting that looked more like a muddied star than a black and gold fleur-de-lis. We’re guessing he would do better sketching out the South Carolina Gamecocks’ logo. At least he was a...

B/R writers label Saints' secondary as the team's strength
Free agency and the NFL draft are behind us, so teams’ rosters are mostly complete for 2024. That prompted Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine and Kris Knox to identify the biggest strength of every NFC team as organized team activities ensue around the league. Once the strength was identified, Knox followed up with the key returning players, the biggest addition to the unit and a player to track in OTAs.
The New Orleans Saints’ secondary was labeled as the strength of the team. This should come as no surprise. This was the clear strength of the Saints in 2023, and Marcus Maye’s departure...

The Saints defensive line has been one of the weaker position groups for the team, but Kpassagnon has consistently performed when he was called upon. Now that he will be out for the foreseeable future, what should the Saints do?

Dennis Allen expects new offense to be “significantly different” from previous seasons
New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen appeared on the Rich Eisen Show to review some of the post-draft and OTA headlines surrounding the team. One of those topics included the new offense under coordinator Klint Kubiak.
Allen also noted the variability, modernization, and attention to detail of the scheme will be a healthy change for the offense. He also noted that the offense before Kubiak was often predictable to opposing defenses.
“There was a long time here where we saw a lot of the same plays,” Allen said. “We saw a lot of the same personnel groupings, same motions, and I think...

Countdown to Kickoff, Day 97: Khristian Boyd is the Saints Player of the Day
Khristian Boyd is your New Orleans Saints Player of Day 97 as we count down to kickoff for the 2024 season. The rookie defensive tackle has a great opportunity in front of him, but before we get to that, let’s get to know him a little better:
Boyd is making a big leap from UNI to the NFL, just like his former teammate Trevor Penning has experienced on the other side of the ball. But expectations are wildly different for him as a sixth-round pick compared to Penning as a former first rounder. All Boyd needs to focus on in 2024 is playing his role well as a run-stopper in relief of Khalen...
