This isn't a list of the best New Orleans Saints players, or the most talented or most valuable. It's a list of the most important for the Saints' 2024 fortunes.

We had three Saints Insiders — beat writers Matthew Paras and Luke Johnson and columnist Jeff Duncan — rank their top 10 "most important Saints," then made a composite ranking.

On this episode of Saints Insider, those three, along with host Zach Ewing, give their thoughts on each of these Saints and why they could make or break the Black and Gold in the upcoming season.
