On this episode of the BLEAV in Saints Podcast, Mario Jerez and Erin Summers discuss one of the biggest developments of the Saints' offseason: Alvin Kamara unexpectedly showing up for voluntary OTAs.

After months of uncertainty surrounding his contract situation, Kamara arrived in New Orleans and addressed the media, giving fans and observers plenty to dissect. Mario and Erin examine what his return means, whether it's a message to the front office, and if the Saints are approaching a crossroads with one of the greatest players in franchise history.

The duo also dives into the latest OTA observations, including another encouraging practice from rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who continued to look comfortable despite missing several key offensive weapons, including Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson.

Other topics include:

OTAs are finally here, and the hype around the 2026 Saints season is starting to build. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers break down the biggest storylines to watch as the team returns to the practice field, including Tyler Shough’s development, player usage and positioning, and who shows up for voluntary workouts.

Plus, the debut of a brand new segment: YES or BS.

The crew debates whether Chris Olave is getting massively underrated around the league despite putting up elite production through constant offensive instability. Is the “injury prone” label fair? And why does his reputation among fans still feel lower than his actual production?

Then: Kellen Moore vs the rest of the NFC South. Mario explains why the Saints’ new head coach/playcaller enters the division as the most accomplished offensive mind by a wide margin — and why that should give Saints fans real optimism heading into the season.

They also tackle a big betting question: Will the Saints make the playoffs this year? With expectations clearly rising inside the building, Mario and Erin discuss what a postseason appearance would mean for the future of the franchise, Tyler Shough’s development, and the overall direction of the organization.

And of course, the latest from #SaintsTwitter:
