The New Orleans Saints are back at training camp, and with three days under their belt, our Saints Insiders — columnists Jeff Duncan and Rod Walker and beat writers Matthew Paras and Luke Johnson — gather to give their early impressions: • Good vibes so far • An early edge in the QB competition • New signings • Early depth chart thoughts #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #nfl #nfltrainingcamp #saintsnation

The turnover continued Tuesday on Airline Drive as veteran New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu announced his retirement the day before the Saints begin training camp. Our Saints Insiders — Times-Picayune beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras, columnist Jeff Duncan and editor Zach Ewing — discuss the surprise retirement and discuss other comments from Saints vice president Mickey Loomis and head coach Kellen Moore the day before the Saints begin a brand-new chapter with their 2025 training camp. #saints #neworleanssaints #saintsnation #whodat #whodatnation #honeybadger #nfl #nfltrainingcamp #nfl2025

With training camp just days away, the Saints Insiders are back with an episode on reasonable expectations for each defensive position group on the 2025 New Orleans Saints. • Can Brandon Staley's alignment unlock more pass rush, either from the edge or other positions? • The run defense can't get much worse, but how much better can it be? • Can Demario Davis continue to defy Father Time? And what's the backup plan if he can't? • The depth is perilously thin at corner, but Alontae Taylor might become a star • Is Justin Reid the best player on this defense? #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nfloffseason #nfltrainingcamp #whodat #whodatnation

The Saints Insiders (some of them, anyway) are back from vacation, and just in time to comment on the New Orleans Saints' new white helmets. We also use this podcast to dive into each of the Saints' offensive position groups and give our expectations for each spot: • Can either young quarterback take control? • Can anyone help Alvin Kamara? • At wide receiver, it's all about staying healthy • Juwan Johnson breakout ... finally? • Investment in young tackles must pay off

The New Orleans Saints are going through a roster reset, if not a full rebuild, and so they'll need young players to break out in 2025. Who are the top candidates for the sort of season that can turn a rookie into a starter or a solid player into a star? Our Saints Insiders discuss their choices. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflrookies #nfldraft #nfloffseason #saintsnation

Several pundits, rankings and odds boards have listed the New Orleans Saints as the worst team in the NFL or the team the least likely to win the Super Bowl. Our Saints Insiders discuss whether there's a case for that, what reasons the Saints have for optimism and the paths that lead to each outcome, including: • A look at the QB battle between Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough • The pros and cons of rookie head coach Kellen Moore and staff • Is the defense still in decline? • Could the offensive line actually save this team? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfloffseason #nflpowerrankings #nflodds

The New Orleans Saints are done with minicamp and their offseason program, so with five weeks still to go before training camp, we take an early look at the team's final 53-man roster for opening day in September. Lots could change in camp, between player performances and injuries, but for now, we'll discuss: • The backup running back spots • Who will fill out the receiving corps? • Will the Saints carry eight or nine offensive linemen? • Who's the odd man out at defensive tackle? • How is the secondary organized? • Could either the incumbent kicker or punter be in danger?

The New Orleans Saints have reached the end of their offseason program with mandatory minicamp. Our Saints Insiders — beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras, columnist Rod Walker and editor Zach Ewing — give their thoughts on performances from quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough, who's winning the QB competition and much more, including: • The apparently set-in-stone OL lineup • Defensive scheme shift and what it means • Overall top-down changes in structure and attitude

The New Orleans Saints have some salary cap space for once — about $29M that could be spend before the 2025 season begins. Our Saints Insider crew breaks down how likely it is the team will spend most of that and on whom: Gabe Davis, Cam Akers, Asante Samuel Jr, Jaire Alexander or someone else? And is a trade to get Trey Hendrickson back to New Orleans even possible? We'll break it all down in this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflfreeagency #nfloffseason

With all the talk about the New Orleans Saints' quarterback situation and offensive rebuild, it felt like high time to talk about all of the changes on the defensive side of the ball. With a new coordinator in Brandon Staley, the Saints are bringing back the 3-4 defense. How much will really change? Could Chase Young and Alontae Taylor unlock their potential? And who else will be key to this defense improving on poor marks in 2024? Our Times-Picayune beat writers, Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras, join editor Zach Ewing to discuss all things defense. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfloffseason
