The last time #Saints selected a QB in the 1st round of the #NFL draft...1971 when they picked Archie Manning out of Ole Miss. 54 years later could the Black & Gold add another Ole Miss QB in the 1st round? 🤨 🙋‍♂️ I asked Jaxson Dart at Panini Senior Bowl about the Saints legend.

UPDATE: NBA draft and trade intel 📝 The Pelicans are NOT in the Ja Morant business. New Orleans will NOT trade for the Memphis point guard.

Cam Jordan Cam Jordan talking about his future in New Orleans. One of the greatest Saints all time... IMO it's a no-brainer for the organization, No. 94 needs to be back in Black & Gold for a 16th season in 2026.

I’m hoping over the next 48 hours that New Orleans Pelicans executive Joe Dumars makes some moves that reinvigorate this franchise and fan base. But right now, because of the Ja Morant to NOLA reports, the Pels just reek of desperation 🫤

Dennis Allen apologized to #DirtyBirds after game Sunday. Says he told #Saints players to go into "victory formation" and take a knee, but players decided they wanted to get RB Jamaal Williams a TD. Atlanta HC Arthur Smith cursing DA after the game as they met at midfield.

I asked Taysom Hill if he took an extra moment leaving the Superdome field after the Jets game. Hill is one of the most unique players in franchise history but can become a free agent in 2026. The fan favorite was emotional talking about Sunday's final home game of 2025.

Atlanta is developing ‘Centennial Yards’ in their downtown area - google it! New Orleans Pelicans and state leaders need to think bigger than just a Smoothie King Center renovation. The entire campus and area around the arena and Superdome needs to be enhanced.

Am I confused or are #Saints confusing operation right now? NOLA started: Carr QB1, Haener backup, Rattler #3 Carr injured, Rattler jumps Haener to start Carr returns, Haener back to #2, Rattler #3 Why isn't Rattler #2 now? Or why not start Jake when Carr originally hurt? 🤷‍♂️
