Saints Nation: Saints Sign 1st Round Pick Patrick Robinson to a 5 Year Deal
1st round draft choice and 32nd pick overall, cornerback Patrick Robinson of Florida State, has signed a 5 year contract with the Saints and he'll be at camp in time for the first practice tomorrow morning. Kudos to Mickey Loomis for getting this deal done quickly and way ahead of last year's 1st round pick. I'm sure the fact that he was picked 32nd overall helped in...

Saints Nation: Jason McKie Released
Almost as quickly as he was added to the roster, veteran fullback Jason McKie was shown the door. I'm pretty surprised to see him released without even getting a fair shake in training camp. I guess Heath Evans' injury is healing quicker than the Saints expected, and they feel good about him being full go by the beginning of the season. It's safe to assume this guy is...

Saints Nation: It's Time to Look Forward for the New Orleans Saints, by Joshua Joffrion
This season, the New Orleans Saints have a task ahead of them, one like they've never had to face before, it's time to defend their Super Bowl title. For years and years, the Lovable Losers of Louisiana never really had much of a chance to make the playoffs, much less make any postseason noise, but that was before Drew Brees and Sean Payton came to town. Since the magical...

Saints Nation: Dolphins Sign Charles Grant
I guess teams are filling out their roster at the 11th hour getting ready for training camp because we've seen tons of movement all around the NFL in the last 48 hours. Former Saint Charles Grant was the latest to find a team, as he inked a 2 year contract with the Miami Dolphins. You remember Grant was released earlier this offseason by the black and gold, following yet another...

Saints Nation: Mark Brunell Signs with New York Jets
Lots of Saints news today and we're gearing up for camp! On the same day Patrick Ramsey signed to be the backup quarterback to Drew Brees (assuming he beats out Chase Daniel and Sean Canfield which is no given), it's being reported that Brees' former backup Mark Brunell (pictured) has signed a 2 year deal to play with the Jets. I actually think Brunell will serve as more of a role...

Saints Nation: Patrick Ramsey and Jimmy Graham Both Sign with Saints
Patrick Ramsey (pictured) has now officially been signed by the Saints to a one year deal. He'll compete with Chase Daniel and Sean Canfield to be the backup to Drew Brees, and with his veteran experience one has to figure he's the overwhelming favorite to get the job.The Saints have also agreed to terms on a 4 year deal with 3rd round draft pick tight end Jimmy Graham out...

Saints Nation: Saints Getting Distracted?
I don't know about you guys, but the constant book tours that Drew Brees and Sean Payton have done seem to be getting ridiculous. Throw those on top of all the other tours and activities around the country and I'm starting to get a little worried about the constant distractions. I know once training camp starts that will all stop, but it's not like they get to rest. I don't like...

Saints Nation: NFL Considering 18 Game Season
There's lots of discussion about the possibility of the NFL adopting an 18 game regular season in the new collective bargaining agreement. The main con for most players is that they already suffer through significant wear and tear with 16 games, and the pros are endless. More football and more revenue, what's not to like? I personally hope it happens, and it's not possible...

Saints Nation: Saints Sign 2nd Round Draft Choice Charles Brown
ESPN NFL analyst Adam Schefter via his twitter account has just announced that the Saints have agreed to terms with their 2nd round draft choice, USC offensive tackle Charles Brown. It's another 4 year deal, so Brown will be at camp on time. Kudos to Mickey Loomis for getting these done. That leaves Graham (3rd) and Robinson (1st) as the lone remaining unsigned Saints' picks.

Saints Nation: Ranking the 32 Starting NFL Quarterbacks
Here's my take on the quarterback power rankings of the NFL:1. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints: Call it a homer pick if you want, but Brees has thrown for over 4,000 yard the last four seasons and he came within 12 yards of beating Dan Marino's single season yardage record. You can't say the guy isn't a winner anymore, either, because he just won the Super Bowl. No...

Saints Nation: No Patrick Ramsey?
The Saints are now free to sign whoever they want as the free agent restriction was lifted on Thursday. I was a little surprised to see Patrick Ramsey not mentioned as a signing because everyone and their mother has reported that Ramsey and the Saints had a handshake deal in place and it was basically a foregone conclusion that he would back up Brees. I'm starting to wonder if...

Saints Nation: Bobby McCray and Matt Tennant both Sign with Saints
The picture you see to the right is the hit by Bobby McCray in the NFC Championship game that wrecked Brett Favre's ankle. Most Saints fans across the world know exactly what I'm talking about. The Saints cut McCray in a surprise move this offseason to avoid paying him a roster bonus, and in an even more surprising move they re-signed the veteran pass rusher today. You can officially...

Canfield is the second draft pick to sign with the Saints after Al Woods did so late last week.

Saints Nation: Review of Sean Payton's Book "Home Team"
I finally had a chance to finish Sean Payton's book "Home Team", and I'd recommend it to any Saints fan as a must read. While the book is not the best written I've ever seen, it seems genuine and informative at it's core. Payton does a great job of showcasing his part arrogant part humble personality, as well as his fears, his hopes, his honesty and his...

Saints Nation: Al Woods Signs With Saints
Former LSU defensive tackle and Saints rookie Al Woods is the first draftee to sign with the Saints. Usually Mickey Loomis waits a little longer to start inking his draftees, but Woods was locked up today to a 4 year deal. It's great to see him on board!

Saints Nation: Drew Brees and Saints Clean Up at ESPYS, Walk Away with Four Pieces of Hardware
I have to admit I was shocked to see the Saints walk away with 4 ESPYS last night, three of them going to Drew Brees individually. I figured ESPN would find away to ruin the evening for the Saints based on their typical hatred of the deep south. I guess the fans really do control the vote, though, because the Saints were able to avoid some sort of network result rigging.The Saints...

Saints Nation: Sean Payton Live Chat on NFL.com
CLICK HERE to check out the live chat Sean Payton had fielding numerous questions about the Saints. Not much of interest, sadly. It's mostly a boring q&a. I love how one fan gives him an opportunity to single out a rookie that's doing well and he placates him with the "every year we rely on young players" blah blah blah. I love Coach Payton, but why does EVERYTHING...

Saints Nation: 10 Things to Look For As Training Camp Approaches
With training camp right around the corner and just a couple weeks away, here's a few things we should be on the lookout for:1. Who will win the battle to start at strong side linebacker? The favorites are promising youngster Jo-Lonn Dunbar and veteran Clint Ingram, but don't rule out Stanley Arnoux either. There is literally no way of telling at this point how that will...

Saints Nation Fans Have Spoken: Alex Brown Will Have the Biggest Impact of 2010 Newcomers
Asked which offseason addition would contribute the most, Saints Nation fans gave former Chicago Bear defensive end Alex Brown the majority of the vote at 55%. Rookie tight end Jimmy Graham was a surprise finisher in second place at 17%. It sounds like many fans are excited about what the tight end will contribute to the team this year. Still, there's no question that Charles...
