Agree. Hopefully LSU can retain those pieces with the offseason we are about to have, and the precedent of players in this era being extremely quick to utilize the transfer portal.

re: So many of you want us to draft OL and DL in the 1st Round, and its A BAD IDEA.

There are so many areas where we need to get better and younger. All my buddies love doing mock drafts and I applaud them. However, It’s impossible to really dig into any of this until: Saints draft position is finalized and FA period comes & goes. There’s still quite a bit of season left.
Tomorrow morning will be one of the few times I’m eager to hear all the talking heads opinions on that horrific call.
That was “No Call” bad

Honestly they should. That story is a damn tragedy… it’s reminiscent of the Karen Reed “set up”. If you can prove the set up/cover up, then take ‘em out to dry!! I’d bet stuff like these situations happen more than normal folk think and that’s sad.
I back the boys, but the laws have to be the laws for everybody.

re: Trade Olave

Olave - 24.5 yrs old
DA - 32 yrs old
That was a major detractor in the Adams trade.

The Olave trade makes a ton of sense but is super complicated… the injuries/concussions have his value at its lowest. He is super talented but will be seen as a high risk acquisition/building block.
His 2025 hit is only 2.3% of the total salary budget. ($6,131,920 hit).
I feel like the play will be a draft day surprise trade or letting KM see what he can do to protect Olave. 2025 is a contract year so they’ve got to make long-term decisions very soon, if they decide he isn’t a part of the future then I think it’ll be a mid season move.
*Olave sitting out for a new deal is the only potential complicating factor

EXACTLY.
Everybody wanting the blueprint or in-depth groundbreaking answers is smoking crack.
It’d be like getting a new job and being expected to build a new year business plan after your 1st weekend. ???????

re: Moore said a few interesting things in the press conference.

Can’t wait for Kellen Moore to shock the nation, build this organization back up and stamp his name in the upper echelon of this era’s best NFL coaches.
re: Pick #9 should be….
Posted by Stevo1856 on 2/13/25 at 10:31 pm to Kajuntiger121110
Agree. There’s always room for improvements but the original take screams personal bias there. Campbell would be well worth #9 if he’s there!
My worry there is if his game plan is dominate in the SB then the eagles offer him $1.5-2 mill more than his current salary. He’d become the highest paid OC and I’m sure they’d sweeten the deal somehow…. Let’s hope that doesn’t end up happening but it wouldn’t be shocking.

All very valid points but fans didn’t want to admit the Saints have needed cuts for 2-3 years now… when you hit it’s great, when you miss it’s brutal

I agree with everyone else about the risks of toxicity, but I still think it’s worth taking a chance. The only way it works, though, is if he can come to NOLA at a bargain price. If he can hold it together, he’d be an immediate upgrade to the wide receiver corps. The biggest risk is the situation with MT13 during the final year(s) of his tenure as a Saint.
re: Rattler shouldn't even be allowed

You mean the passes to Johnson, Holker Wilson and MVS?
Most of those guys are far from even second string players. Injuries have forced them into the position they are in. It’s crazy to be this hyper critical on Ratt & the team. Dan Marino would struggle with this cast.

I’m fine with losing as long as the team stays competitive. This season’s a wash, but picking in the teens wouldn’t be terrible. Historically, we’ve found gems in the 10-20 range.
The last few years have been hit or miss, but Fuaga looks like a solid pick. Let’s keep that momentum into the 2025 draft.
I’d love to trade back for more assets, but the odds are slim—though the Saints’ situation could force the front office’s hand.

Yup. He’s also missing all his starting receiving options minus 1.
The wr core is thrown together with guys that weren’t even on practice squad 2-4 weeks ago.
Tom Brady couldn’t make this look average.

Agree 100%
There have been too many key players injured to persevere through it.

re: How many draft spots did that “win” just cost the Saints?
Posted by Stevo1856 on 12/10/24 at 1:03 am to MizunoDude
Lol, that’s the conundrum, isn’t it?
The “smart” move is to lose the rest of the games and secure better draft position. The problem is, a better draft spot doesn’t guarantee success historically. On the bright side, since 2020, the Saints have hit on 4 out of 6 picks in the 1st round (or 3 out of 6, depending on how you view Olave). It’s a classic catch-22 for a franchise that lately seems to be snakebitten.
The “smart” play logically is to lose the rest and gain better draft position. Issue there is better position historically does not guarantee a hit. The bright side, going back to 2020 the Saints are 4 for 6 on hitting that pick. (Could argue 3 for 6 depending on how you view Olave). It’s a classic catch-22 for a snake bitten franchise.

I’ll second what others have said about snagging tickets on the day of the game.
A few years ago, I accidentally bought two standing-room-only tickets, which wasn’t going to work with my pregnant fiancée. I found that if you wait until slightly after the game starts, you can get tickets for 35–70% off. The only downside is you’ll miss part of the game, but it’s a great way to save money.

Given the injuries and this roster, it doesn’t matter who’s coaching—it’s a tough situation. Honestly, anything close to 10 wins this season would be overachieving, in my opinion.
As much as I want the Saints to compete like any true Saints fan, losing these last four games might actually be better for the organization in the long run. I get that earlier draft position doesn't guarantee success, but outside of playing for pride/Rizzi or for players to hit bonus thresholds, every win from here on out more than likely hurts the Saints future.

That along with the plethora of injuries the Saints had to their lines when Rattler was thrust into starting.
If the big boys can remain healthy, it should be a slightly better representation of his capability but not by much.

Appreciate the response.
I was thinking of this more from the lense of now that on paper Bryce isn’t coming, what does that open up outside of what we anticipated? How do we repurpose those NIL dollars?
