Saints To Set Extra Place At Table For Prophet Sean Payton

Wine stolen from Jerry Jones In a gesture that shows that either the Saints are being extra dramatic about the punishment handed down for bounties or that Sean Payton has died in a tragic riverboat gambling incident, the team is taking a note from Seder custom and leaving a space open for their suspended head coach at team functions throughout the year. Payton won’t soon be...

Why New Orleans Is Making A Big Mistake By Waiting to Sign Drew Brees

In the NFL the quarterback position is the most coveted in the league and Drew Brees is one of the five best. Yet Mickey Loomis, the general manager of the New Orleans Saints, seems to have forgotten that and now he is endangering the team’s chance to sign Brees by turning down the demands of the star quarterback. Before Brees was signed by the New Orleans Saints for the first...

Saints’ Mark Ingram unlikely to be ready for start of Training Camp

The Saints used a first round pick on Mark Ingram in 2011, but he had a disappointing rookie season, rushing for just 474 yards and 5 touchdowns on 122 carries. Some expect him to have a breakout season in his 2nd year, but he already had a deep running back corps (Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles) as well as a coaching staff who hasn’t given a back more than 176 carries since...

Saints Nation: Greg Romeus Poised To Make an Impact

When the Saints drafted defensive end Greg Romeus out of Pittsburgh in the 7th round last year, they knew they were getting a recovering injured player that may need to sit out his rookie season. Romeus was decorated in college, finishing with 4 sacks his freshman year, 7.5 sacks his sophomore year and 8 sacks his junior year. Unfortunately for Romeus, in 2010, he first suffered...

Brian Brohm Participted In The Saints Minicamp Over The Weekend

Former Cardinal great Brian Brohm was in New Orleans over the weekend for the Saints free agent/rookie minicamp. Brohm previously worked out with the Saints a couple months ago, but it wasn’t his workout. Brohm threw for then-free agent WR Randy Moss in March when Moss worked out for the Saints. I’m assuming Brohm’s showing in March was good enough to get a call-back...
