As we get closer to the startof free agency, it looks like wide receiver Marques Colston may not be back with the New Orleans Saints next season. At this point the Saints haven’t even made any attempts to try and work out an extension with Colston, according to Dan Pompei of the National Football Post. In the end, it looks like the Saints will have to decide between signing either...

While the New Orleans Saints had a very productive 2011 campaign, winning the NFC South and finishing second overall in the NFC with a 13-3 record, their failure to make it past the divisional round has left many fans saying ‘what if.’ As in ‘what if our pass defense had not been among the worst in the league?’ It’s safe to assume that Saints management...

It’s possible Marques Colston will be a former Saint in the near future as the team has made no attempts to re-sign the star wide receiver up to this point. The front office has been pre-occupied with trying to work out a new deal for Drew Brees. If the Saints can’t sign Brees, they likely will use the franchise tag on him, giving them one less way to retain Colston. Also complicating...

Now that the NFL season is officially over the focus has shifted to the NFL Draft. The New Orleans Saints are still licking their wounds from their defeat at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. Despite the disappointing end to the Saints season there is a lot to look forward to next season, particularly with the overhaul of the defensive coaching staff. The Saints probably do not...

Drew Brees’s contract extension is taking longer than everyone had hoped and some have been wondering if the New Orleans Saints are going to franchise tag Brees. I do not think it would be in either party’s best interest if Brees were to be franchised. I think the Saints need to do everything possible to get a deal done for Brees as fast as they can so they do not have to use...

I think we can all agree that the Saints need to re-sign Drew Brees, Marques Colston and Carl Nicks. All three of those players are key components to the historically supreme offense the Saints showcase and retaining them has to be of utmost importance. That said, for the second consecutive offseason, the biggest "upgrade" the Saints will have to seek is a playmaker on...

Head coach Sean Payton made the official announcement that the New Orleans Saints have added three new coaches to their coaching staff. The most notable of the coaching additions is the hiring of Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator. In addition to the new defensive coordinator the Saints hired Ken Fajole as the secondary coach and Andre Curtis as assistant secondary coach. Spagnuolo...

Potential free agent Jermichael Finley of the Green Bay Packers has had sporadic contact with the team since the end of the season and remains hopeful that a long-term deal will get done before the team must decide whether to use the franchise tag on him. With a complete revolution of the tight end position sparked by Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots and Jimmy Graham of...

The New Orleans Saints do not have a first round pick in this year’s NFL Draft due to the team trading up to get Mark Ingram in last year’s NFL Draft. The Saint first pick will come in the 2nd round with the 59th pick. Although they have no first round pick they should still be able to find a quality player to draft with the 59th pick. Now the question is who the Saints draft...

And the #1 play of the season had to be this one. Brees breaking a record labelled "unbreakable" and untouchable for so long. While this season didn't have the final success of the 2009 season, this moment was the culmination of a truly special season that saw tons of passing yards, points and wins. This is just another historic moment in the remarkable tenure Drew...

Drew Brees and the Saints have said so many times that both sides want to get a long-term contract done that it seems like a mere formality that things will get worked out long before it’s time for Brees to get to work at the Saints’ first offseason minicamp. But one report suggests that contract…

I've got a number of things I want to talk about so be forewarned, there's numerous topics discussed in this blog post. Here are the 8 topics I want to touch on, so I hope you're ready to spend your Monday reading about the Saints.1. Super Bowl thoughts - So the Giants won last night in what I thought was a very boring game. Neither team really took chances and they were...

With such a busy week last week we didn’t have time to get to this, but former NFL fullback Heath Evans, who spent four years in Seattle under Mike Holmgren before moving to New England to wind up his career playing for Bill Belichick, had some strong words for the current Browns president in Pro Football Weekly: Evans said he was “ready to retire” because of the...

Everyone knows that the New Orleans Saints are a high octane offensive team. The Saints can and do put up points in a hurry and usually win their games by outscoring their opponents. If there were any criticism about the Saints this past season it was that their defense was not quite good enough to advance further in the playoffs. Granted, many turnovers cost the team in the divisional...

Nicks says he would love to stay in New Orleans according to Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune alhtough he realizes the Saints have a lot of free agents to sign. Nicks, a...

Watching this play now makes me more sad than excited because of what a waste it was for such a spectacular and crucial touchdown. Still, it deserves credit for being one of the most clutch plays all season long. This touchdown would give the Saints a 1 point lead with 1:48 left in the divisional playoffs thanks to Jimmy Graham doing what he does best: making plays. You know what...

In a world where drop kicks are attempted in the Pro Bowl, New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees did his best to try accomplish the feat. Sadly for Brees, the drop kick he attempted didn't even come close: Here is the GIF courtesy of Mock Session:

During a press conference in Indianapolis yesterday it was announced that Drew Brees was named the 2011 FedEx Air NFL Player of the Year. The choice was pretty much a no-brainer as Brees had the best season of his career; posting career highs and setting records. Brees set the passing record for a single season with 5,476 passing yards; he also set records for completion percentage...

Drew Brees is without a doubt one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now and Brees is thankful for the chance that the New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton gave him. After Brees and the San Diego Chargers could not come to terms on a new deal back in 2005 Brees’ options were the Saints or the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were reluctant to take Brees because of his...

On the New Orleans Saints official twitter page, @Saints, Drew Brees shared his thoughts on his tight end, Jimmy Graham. Brees had this to say, “He has a chip on his shoulder that I feel is always going to be there because the kid wants to be the best.” I think Jimmy Graham having a “chip on his shoulder” is a great thing for such a great athlete to have. For one, it ensures...
