Link to story Saints | Bryan Bresee set for surgery Sun Aug 2, 01:02 PM
New Orleans Saints DT Bryan Bresee (knee) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: The Saints have enough depth on the defensive line to absorb this blow, but the 2023 first round pick was expected to play his best football yet going into his fourth season. With a trip to Detroit on tap to open the season, the Saints defense will see just how much they will miss Bresee right away. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Saints Thursday, July 30, worth as much as $132 million.
| Footballguys view: Olave now ranks no.6 in the NFL (tied with DK Metcalf) for an AAV of $33 million, and the contract includes $90 million in guaranteed money. He had been held out of team drills early in camp because of this contract situation, and the Saints got it done. Expect Olave to post borderline WR1 numbers this year. He's got a current ADP of WR13 (3.04) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Saints | Taysom Hill will not be returning Thu Jul 30, 02:14 PM
Free-agent TE Taysom Hill (Saints) is still deciding if he will continue his playing career but indicated he will not be re-signing with the New Orleans Saints if he plays in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Hill spent nine years with the Saints as a TE/QB/Swiss Army knife player. He may not have many suitors based on his age and declining skill set. However, Broncos HC Sean Payton used Hill in a variety of ways. Hill turns 36 in August, but he could be a versatile reserve tight end and quarterback for the Broncos. Stay tuned. |

Saints | Kool-Aid McKinstry leaves early Thu Jul 30, 01:18 PM
New Orleans Saints CB Kool-Aid McKinstry (ankle) left practice early Thursday, July 30, because of an ankle injury, but head coach Kellen Moore said McKinstry was removed as a precaution.
Link to story Saints | Chris Olave limited Wednesday Thu Jul 30, 10:39 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave only participated in position drills during practice Wednesday, July 29, because of his contract situation, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Health is not an issue for Olave, even though he missed time this offseason due to being on blood thinners to treat a blood clot (lung) found at the end of the 2025 season. Saints GM Mickey Loomis did say this week that Olave is "full go" at the start of training camp. We'll see now if Loomis get Olave a new contract that makes him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL. |
Saints | Bryan Bresee feared to have torn ACL Wed Jul 29, 01:51 PM
New Orleans Saints DL Bryan Bresee is feared to have suffered a torn ACL at practice on Wednesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: Bresee was a 2023 first-round pick in New Orleans, and he started all 15 games he played during the 2025 season. He has 86 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 49 career games for the team. The Saints exercised Bresee's fifth-year option this offseason, so he is under contract for next season. |

Saints | Chris Olave in talks for extension Wed Jul 29, 12:47 AM
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is having 'a lot of discussions' about a new contract, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. Olave is playing in the last season of his rookie contract.
| Footballguys view: On the field, Olave (blood clot) is now "full go" and has no restrictions, as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp. Whether he gets a new deal or plays out the current contract, Olave is a solid fantasy prospect with a WR12 ADP. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson to practice Wednesday Wed Jul 29, 12:30 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson is set to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to a report on Tuesday, July 27. 'I think we'll see him play football tomorrow,' New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The team's first-round draft pick (No. 8 overall) didn't do much on-field practice work after the first day of rookie minicamp as the team sought to manage the recurrence of a hamstring injury he suffered before he was drafted. Expect the Saints to be cautious, with Tyson ramping up to being able to fully participate in practice. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (blood clot) is now 'full go' and 'has no restrictions' as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Olave missed Week 18 because of a blood clot in his lung, and the team limited his work during the spring in order to continue monitoring the situation. On Tuesday, GM Mickey Loomis said that Olave has been given the green light to do everything during this summer's practices. Olave's three-game stretch to finish the season was impressive. He was WR2 from Weeks 15 through 17. He's being drafted as WR12. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is still talking with the Saints about a possible contract extension, but his practice participation is not expected to affected by the contract talks, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Olave is set to play the 2026 season on his fifth-year option, but there could be a new extension done before the start of the regular season. He's gained some muscle this offseason, and reports indicate he's looked 'great' in limited work. Olave and the Saints have been talking for some time, and there was hope a deal could get done before the start of camp. They're still talking, but we have to see if any movement comes from these most recent conversations. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara agreed to new deal Thu Jul 16, 10:47 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara agreed to a new deal Thursday, July 16, that includes a $6 million base salary and could be worth $8.5 million in incentives.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com notes, Kamara's previous contract had him slated to count $10.45 million against the salary cap in 2026. Kamara, 30, has spent his entire career with New Orleans since the club selected him in the third round of the 2017 draft. Last season, Kamara totaled 657 yards from scrimmage, finishing 2025 with 471 yards rushing with one touchdown, along with 33 receptions for 186 yards. The Saints added Travis Etienne at running back in free agency this offseason, which could diminish Kamara's role in the offense. But the veteran is now set to begin his 10th season with New Orleans on a new deal. |

Saints | Tyler Shough working out with teammates Thu Jul 16, 12:34 AM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough is working out with several of his offensive teammates this week in San Diego.
| Footballguys view: Shough organized the outing with some help from Drew Brees. Shough's teammates, Juwan Johnson, Chris Olave, Travis Etienne Jr., Bryce Lance, Barion Brown, Audric Estime, and Noah Fant, were among those in attendance -- along with Brees. In his rookie season, Shough, a second-round pick, went 5-4 as a starter and completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. From Weeks 15 through 17 -- fantasy playoffs for most of us -- he was QB8, averaging 19 points per game. He's being drafted as QB19 this year. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara working on new deal Wed Jul 15, 04:17 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is working with the Saints to agree on a new contract.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has been very blunt about his desire to remain a Saint. When trade rumors started swirling around the deadline last year, Kamara joked publicly by saying, "Then I'm going to go drink a piña colada somewhere," alluding to a retirement. The Saints spent big on Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency this offseason, and he's expected to be the lead back. Kamara is entering his age-31 season, but still looked like he had some juice in the tank last year before injuries ended his season. At worst, Kamara could have some stand-alone value as a pass-catching specialist. At best, his contingent upside in the event of an Etienne injury could make him one of this year's best picks. He's currently being drafted as the RB49, a very cheap cost for a former superstar approaching the twilight of his career. |

Saints | Erik McCoy looking to stay healthy Sun Jul 12, 01:56 PM
New Orleans Saints C Erik McCoy has missed 20 games across the past two seasons due to various injuries. 'S--- happens,' McCoy said. He has missed 10 games in each of the past two seasons, dealing with groin and elbow injuries in 2024, and a torn biceps in 2025. He played all 17 games in 2023, and he was a Pro Bowl pick. He is penciled in to start at center again in 2026, and he hopes to stay healthy to be part of one of the better offensive lines the team has had in years, according to beat writer Luke Johnson.
Link to story Saints | Tyler Shough designated as an x-factor Fri Jul 10, 02:10 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough was labeled as an x-factor for the 2026 season by ESPN's Seth Walder.
| Footballguys view: Rookie quarterbacks can often surprise before the league gets an offseason to analyze and reset. Shough certainly surprised in Year 1. And the Saints trusted him enough to sign Travis Etienne and draft Jordyn Tyson and Oscar Delp. They are surrounding him with playmakers to see how he develops. The Saints' success will hinge on his ability to adapt to new coverages in Year 2, making him the most important factor going into the season. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson pairs well with Tyler Shough Thu Jul 2, 03:21 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson pairs well with QB Tyler Shough based on his route-running ability, according to NewOrleansFootball.com's Nick Underhill.
| Footballguys view: Investing the eighth overall pick in Tyson, the Saints clearly liked the Arizona State product. He'll have a nice go early in his career, playing opposite Chris Olave. Olave should draw primary coverage, allowing Tyson to get open easier. Falling into the ninth round of fantasy drafts, Tyson could easily outperform his current cost. |
Saints | Chris Olave hopes for new deal soon Wed Jun 24, 01:37 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave said he would like to agree to a contract extension before the start of training camp, according to ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
| Footballguys view: The Saints have been in talks with Olave since last year about a new deal, and while nothing has happened yet, both sides have spoken positively of the situation. Olave has been at OTAs and minicamp as usual, and he spent the offseason around the Saints' facility. Terrell noted that New Orleans typically gets its bigger deals done closer to the season, and Olave seemed optimistic during OTAs that they could get a new deal completed soon. |
Saints | Rookie WR Bryce Lance makes the most of his opportunities Tue Jun 23, 12:58 PM
Saints fourth-round pick Bryce Lance got his time to shine during minicamp with Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson limited and a number of other wideouts hurt. Lance made it count during the 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods, working with both the first- and second-team quarterbacks. He scored a touchdown in 11-on-11 red zone work on a pass from Spencer Rattler on the final day of minicamp and also had a touchdown from Tyler Shough in 7-on-7s that day.
| Footballguys view: ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell acknowledges Lance might not get as many reps when the other receivers get healthy, but he has potential. Footballguy Jeff Bell believes Lance could push Devaughn Vele to be the third receiver, though the two have different skillsets, with Vele a better blocker and Lance opening defenses with vertical speed. Even in a potentially limited opening role, Lance merits attention. His top-level athleticism could make him the clear fill-in if Olave or Tyson were to miss time. Bell added that there is underrated long-term value here if Lance's play and Olave's contract demands diverge. |

Saints | Coach not ruling out Taysom Hill return Fri Jun 19, 01:45 PM
Free-agent QB Taysom Hill (Saints) has not had much contact with the New Orleans Saints this offseason, but head coach Kellen Moore is not ruling out the possibility of Hill re-signing at some point.
| Footballguys view: The odds are somewhat shaky that Hill finds an NFL team before the start of the regular season. Whether that's with the Saints or another team (Broncos?) has yet to be determined. It sounds like Moore is open to the idea of bringing the versatile TE/QB back to the roster. |

Link to story Saints | Solid start for Tyler Goodson Thu Jun 18, 11:50 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Goodson has been 'impressive' while working as the No. 3 running back during minicamp, according to Will McFadden of AtlantaFalcons.com.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons signed Goodson in late March as a depth piece in the backfield. They have Bijan Robinson as their starter, and he's a no-brainer RB1 for Fantasy GMs. Behind him is Brian Robinson, and the veteran brings a ton of power to the room. Goodson is looking for scraps behind those two, but it sounds like he'll be reliable if injuries strike the depth chart in front of him. |
Saints | Oscar Delp shines at minicamp Thu Jun 18, 11:50 AM
New Orleans Saints TE Oscar Delp was the 'top target' for the offense during team drills at minicamp Tuesday, June 16, according to Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net.
| Footballguys view: Let's put this in the "offseason drumbeat" folder for the Saints. Delp has incredible speed down the middle, and he's the type of player who should have a better pro career than a college career. He spent time behind Brock Bowers at Georgia, and Delp never really blew up the stat sheet in the Bulldogs' run-heavy offense. With the Saints, Delp will get to develop behind Juwan Johnson this season. We love him in dynasty formats. |
Saints | Cameron Jordan terms Thu Jun 18, 11:41 AM
Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints DE Cameron Jordan's one-year deal is worth a maximum of $11 million. The base value is $7.5 million ($6.15 million signing bonus and $1.35 million base salary) with $3.5 million in sack incentives.
| Footballguys view: Jordan is back for his 16th season with the Saints. This incentive-laden deal saves the Saints cap space while giving the veteran an opportunity to earn more money. We'll see Jordan as a part of the Saints pass-rushing rotation. |

Saints | Two RBs limited Tuesday Wed Jun 17, 02:45 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (knee) and RB Kendre Miller (knee) were limited during practice Tuesday, June 16, according to ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
| Footballguys view: The fact that Neal, who was hurt in OTAs, and Miller, who tore an ACL last season, were involved at all is a positive. Worth noting, veteran running back Alvin Kamara was back at minicamp, with his status unchanged from his appearance at OTAs two weeks ago. Addressing Kamara's contract remains one of the last big tasks the Saints have this summer. Kamara did limited work at practice and did not participate in 11-on-11 drills, which coach Kellen Moore said was part of the plan since he has had limited practice time with the team. |
Kendre Miller player page
Saints | Jordyn Tyson limited Wed Jun 17, 02:38 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) was limited during practice Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: Tyson has been sidelined or limited for the majority of OTAs due to a nagging hamstring injury. Tyson is expected to continue to be limited for their mandatory minicamp as well. As SI.com suggests, this is likely just the team being overly cautious, but because of his injury history, it's noteworthy. We'll be watching closely when training camp opens next month to see what Tyson's level of participation is before we start rethinking his value. |
Saints | New Orleans makes roster moves Wed Jun 17, 01:25 PM
Free-agent QB Hunter Dekkers (Saints) and WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper (Cowboys) signed with the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, June 17. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed. The team also waived/injured WR Damien Alford (undisclosed).
Link to story Saints | Chris Olave off blood thinners at end of June Wed Jun 17, 12:35 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave, who has not fully practiced since Week 17 of last season, will reportedly get off of blood thinners on June 29 to potentially be fully cleared for all football activities, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16. Olave has only done individual work during the Saints' offseason training program after missing Week 18 with a blood clot in his lung.
| Footballguys view: The Saints' offense was effective with Tyler Shough under center in 2025, which opened the door for Olave to emerge as the fantasy player we've all been waiting for. In fact, he finished the season as WR6 after closing out the year with 20 or more fantasy points in his final three games. He hit career highs in targets (156), receptions (100), yardage (1,163), and touchdowns (nine). But this issue is one of the reasons he's being drafted as WR11 with the 27th pick overall. Drafting him as your second receiver could be a winning move. |

Saints | Devin Neal rehabbing an injury Tue Jun 16, 02:26 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal is in the rehab process following a knee injury suffered last week, according to head coach Kellen Moore.

Saints | Alvin Kamara reports for minicamp Tue Jun 16, 01:21 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara reported for the start of the mandatory minicamp Monday, June 15.
| Footballguys view: Kamara could get traded, get released (and possibly then retire), or just play for the Saints this season. Every day he shows up at the team facility is one day closer to the third outcome, but the first two will save the Saints money. If Kamara is a Saint come Week 1, that's a hit for Travis Etienne's fantasy value, especially in PPR leagues because Kamara's most likely role is as a passing down back. |

Saints | Hamstring injury for Oscar Delp Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
New Orleans Saints TE Oscar Delp (hamstring) has been dealing with a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Delp must have injured his hamstring this offseason. With mandatory minicamp next week, we'll see how much work the Saints give him. Delp is a high-ceiling player who could outproduce what he did in college during his pro career. This year, Delp should serve as a reserve behind TE Juwan Johnson. |
Saints | Chris Olave taking it easy Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (illness) has been held out of team drills while he continues to recover from the blood clot that sidelined him at the end of last season, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Olave's agent should be working on a new long-term deal with the Saints this offseason. Just over a week ago, Olave told reporters that he feels a contract extension is "going to get done soon." We'll see if something can get done before training camp. |
Saints | Kendre Miller making progress Wed Jun 10, 02:59 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) was able to participate in team drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 10.
| Footballguys view: The start of Miller's career has been marred by injuries, and 2025 ended with an ACL tear just as he was stringing together some good outings. After his injury, Devin Neal proved to be a capable back. Then the team signed Travis Etienne Jr. Alvin Kamara is still around as well. Miller would likely need multiple injuries ahead of him to see meaningful playing time at this point. The silver lining, however, is that he was drafted young. He'll likely hit free agency after this season, getting to test the market at 25 years old. |

But Kamara has maintained he'd like to stick with New Orleans, and his arrival on Wednesday lends credence to that notion. For what it's worth, Kamara was only participating in individual drills during Wednesday's session. We'll continue to monitor, but free-agent addition Travis Etienne Jr. is expected to be the lead back, whether Kamara is on the roster or not. |
