After glancing at the Saints newly released schedule, I can’t help but wonder: Why can’t we go 15-1? Before completely shooting me down, go ahead and glance at the lineup below? WEEK 1 Sept. 7, vs Tampa Bay, Noon WEEK 2 Sept. 14, at Washington, Noon WEEK 3 Sept 21, at Denver, [...]

Remember holding your breath when Deuce McAllister went down in that Monday Night game last season after landing awkwardly on his knee? Go ahead and let it out. Despite fears that a second torn ACL would mark the end of Deuce’s career (or at least his last days with the team), he’s apparently [...]

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley Some of my colleagues are compiling a list of complaints, but let me start by saying that the league stuck it to the Saints again . I was sort of curious as to why New Orleans received two "Monday Night Football" games, but now it all makes sense. Unlike every other team in the league, New Orleans will only play seven home games this season. The eighth ...

14-year veteran CB Aaron Glenn signed with the New Orleans Saints last week. Glenn, who’s had experience starting for the Jets, Texans, Cowboys and Jaguars, will bring depth and another experienced defender to the Saints’ D. So far, the Saints have added MLBs Jonathon Vilma and Dan Morgan, CBs Randall Gay and Aaron Glenn, and DE Bob McCray.

By James Rees With the tenth pick in the MVN Writers’ Mock Draft, the New Orleans Saints select CB Aqib Talib out of Kansas. New Orleans is in desperate need of an upgrade at the cornerback position and Talib has the athleticism to make an immediate impact with the Saints. The knock on the All-American coming out of the combine was that he didn’t have great technique in his ...

Saints running back Deuce McAllister was due to receive a $1 million roster bonus on Tuesday. With his career at a crossroads, however, McAllister wisely opted to agree to a restructuring of his contract. According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Saints and McAllister have worked out a revised contract. The details aren’t clear, but [...]

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Deuce McAllister, citing a spokesman for the running back, will stay with the Saints at least until Training Camp. Speculation that McAllister would be cut was formed when the Saints appeared not willing to give him his $1 million roster bonus. We still aren’t sure if he’ll be receiving it, or if the two sides agreed to just let it go ...

....the New Orleans Saints represented by Dave of Canal Street Chronicles select.... Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, cornerback, TSU I would have loved to have taken any of the DT's like Ellis or Dorsey, but they weren't available. My second choice would have been LB Keith Rivers but the Bengals just snatched him up. That leaves us with CB as the other glaring need in the Saints defense this ...

New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush recently joked that his friend and neighbor, Hornets point guard Chris Paul, "is putting a lot of pressure on me" with his MVP-caliber season. "Now I've got to come and have an equal or better year," Bush said. "I've got to get the crowd chanting MVP. "Last season I was injured more than I had ever been injured in my ...

Discussing his plans for the 2008 season, Saints running back Reggie Bush tells the Baton Rouge Advocate, “I’ve got to get the crowd chanting MVP.” At this point, getting the crowd chanting “competent NFL running back” would suffice. As he enters his third season in the NFL, Bush has been a disappointment in New Orleans, and [...]

Assuming the Saints stay put at the No. 10 spot and don’t trade up or down, they will be making one selection in the first round. One rookie-fresh first-round player, however, will not be all New Orleans gets on its roster next season. I’m talking, of course, about wide receiver Robert Meachem . Plenty of people have already written Meachem off as a bust. I understand that point of ...

And with the 40th pick in the 2008 Arrowhead Pride Community Mock Draft, the New Orleans Saints select: Penn State LB Dan Connor Draft Profile skibum 1537 with the pick: With the Saints getting the standout corner that they need in the first round, they turn their attention to their very fragile linebacker core. Defense is still the number one priority. With the addition of ...

Last month, there were rumors and reports of discussions between the New Orleans Saints and New York Giants regarding a possible trade that would send tight end Jeremy Shockey from Broadway to the Bayou. As we’d last heard it, the Giants wanted a second-round pick and safety Roman Harper, and the Saints declined. But now renewed talk [...]

To continue our own mock draft, rotating the picks among the bloggers the New Orleans Saints are on the clock now with the 10th Pick in the draft. 10th Pick: Leodis McKelvin, CB Troy. The music has stopped and the Saints don’t have a chair. Most of the players the Saints would covet are now gone. Taking the best player available who grades out as the best at his position over someone ...

Here’s a look at the perceived draft needs of the New Orleans Saints, with heavy input from Matt Miller and David Gardner of NewEraScouting.com. Cornerback: The team’s best corner, veteran Mike McKenzie, tore an ACL near the end of last year, and he’s going to be 32 heading into this season. The Saints are hoping that last year’s third-round [...]

The New Orleans Saints signed former Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Aaron Glenn, giving some much needed help to the team's secondary. He played in just five games last season. Glenn recorded four interceptions for Dallas in 2005, but has just two since. The Saints were 30th against the pass last year and 25th in points allowed. The Saints are led on defense by all-world ...
