With the Saints' offseason training programs complete and a long wait to training camp, the Saints Insiders do an early projection of the team's 53-man roster for opening day. From surprise cuts (Alvin Kamara? Davon Godchaux?) to bubble battles (how many edge rushers will make it?), we'll break down the number crunch for an early look at who will be in black and gold on Sept. 13 against the Detroit Lions.

The New Orleans Saints are done with offseason training with the conclusion of mandatory minicamp this week. Our Saints Insiders give their top takeaways from the past four weeks of practices, starting with the obvious development of second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. We also talk Cam Jordan's return, Alvin Kamara's saga, the rookie injury problem and more.

Defense won the day at the third open session of OTAs for the New Orleans Saints this week, but that led our Saints Insiders into a discussion about the offense. Kellen Moore says he wants to run the ball more, and we're seeing more tight ends on the field at the same time. What does that mean for the Saints' usage of heavy personnel? And where do the wide receivers fit into that? Speaking of which, a lot of those wide receivers are still dealing with injury. And finally, quarterback Tyler Shough is at the center of all of this, continuing to back up the faith the Saints have placed in him for 2026.

The second open practice of New Orleans Saints OTAs featured the surprise return of running back Alvin Kamara, who historically has skipped the optional offseason sessions but made an appearance in the midst of drama surrounding the final year of his contract.

Our Saints Insiders discuss that dynamic, as well as dive into the rising cost of Chris Olave's contract extension and look at our Saints players with the most to prove in 2026.

The New Orleans Saints started OTAs this week with a new look. Gone are Demario Davis, Taysom Hill and Cam Jordan (at least for now). In is the leadership of Tyler Shough, who in addition to his on-field responsibilities is shouldering the load as a locker room leader and face of the franchise. Can he do it? Our Saints Insiders discuss.

Also covered on this episode:

• Time to worry about rookies not practicing?

• The tight end revolution is coming to New Orleans

• Jonas Sanker moves into the spotlight

The New Orleans Saints veterans are back on the practice field for the first time for the 2026 season. We won't be able to draw concrete conclusions from OTAs, but they do offer a few clues for training camp and the season to come. On this episode, the Saints Insiders discuss:

• Tyler Shough taking control

• Travis Etienne's vibes

• Jordyn Tyson, Christen Miller and injury management

• Position battles

• Wide receiver rotation

With the New Orleans Saints a week away from their first OTA, our Saints Insiders take a moment to play Buy or Sell? with some predictions for the 2026 team.

Are we buying or selling:

• Tyler Shough sophomore jump

• Offensive line as a top 15 unit

• All 11 defensive starters currently on roster

• Chris Olave getting an extension before training camp

• Enough leadership without Cam Jordan and Demario Davis

This episode of the Saints Insider podcast delves into the NFL schedule release coming Thursday. First, we have reaction to the official announcement the New Orleans Saints will play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 25 in Paris. Then, we talk about rumors we've heard and expectations for how many prime-time games the Saints will have and whom they may play their season opener against. We offer some opinions on what the Saints should hope for (and hope against) in their schedule and finally talk about the most difficult opponents on the 2026 slate.

Some drama erupted on the Saints podcast scene when former safety Tyrann Mathieu, a New Orleans native who retired last year, said the Saints weren't operating "in good faith" when it comes to running back Alvin Kamara, who is under contract for 2026 but hasn't been publicly backed by Saints leaders after the team signed Travis Etienne.

The Saints Insiders discuss whether Mathieu is right, what the Saints should do about it — publicly or otherwise — and predict ultimately what happens with Kamara and the only NFL team he's ever known.

We also offer a quick preview of rookie minicamp, which starts this weekend.
