The details are in on Michael Thomas’ latest contract with the Saints, and it’s even more incentive-based than initially reported. Thomas, 30, can indeed earn a maximum value of $15 million over one year if he reaches every possible incentive. But the base value is just $6.26 million (a $5 million signing bonus if he […]
It’s hardly uncommon for a free agent switching teams to declare he has a chip on his shoulder. But I’ll admit – I was a little taken aback at how motivated new Saints running back Jamaal Williams still is to prove his doubters wrong. You’d think Williams had done most of that work already with […]
“Boom and Zoom” is coming back in New Orleans? New Saints running back Jamaal Williams feels like the perfect complement to Alvin Kamara in just about every category you can think of – just like Mark Ingram was in their prime years together. The 6-foot, 224-pounder – who previously served as the “boom” portion of […]
The Saints already took care of the No. 1 need on their offseason “must” list by signing quarterback Derek Carr last week. Now the defensive line should take center stage for the remainder of free agency and the draft, since it was already a top priority even before Monday’s deals — with free agent DT […]
The Saints scooped us! Of course we suspected this might happen, but the Saints have already filled the No. 1 spot on our ranking of their roster needs by closing the deal with free agent quarterback Derek Carr this week. That means our final three is really a final two now as we head toward […]

Absolutely, when it comes to current NFL quarterback prices – and especially when it comes to the potential costs associated with new Saints quarterback Derek Carr just three weeks ago. A source confirmed that Carr’s new four-year deal with the Saints is worth a total of […]
INDIANAPOLIS – The Saints remain confident that “Plan A” will work out this offseason, maybe even in the coming days, if they are able to secure a deal with free agent quarterback Derek Carr. Plan B? Well, that’s way more convoluted (which is part of the reason why the Saints like Plan A so much.) […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Mickey Loomis and Dennis Allen both kept their cards close to the vest Wednesday when asked for updates on the Derek Carr negotiations – both stressing that they will allow the “process” to play out. But it seemed clear that the Saints’ enthusiasm for Carr hasn’t waned one bit since they became the […]
We know quarterback is the Saints’ No. 1 priority this offseason – and ideally they’ll address it even before free agency starts on March 15. But where do their other needs rank? And how can they fill them? We’ll break them down in descending order as we count down to the start of the new […]
