Link to story Saints | Chase Young receives positive report Fri Jun 14, 12:11 PM
New Orleans Saints DE Chase Young (neck) received a positive medical report after having his surgically repaired neck examined this week, according to a source. He is scheduled to undergo more tests in six weeks but expects to participate in training camp.
| Footballguys view: Young was still productive playing through the neck injury last year, and we haven't seen him playing healthy for a long stretch since his second season. The Saints could hit a free agency home run if Young can return to that form. IDP league players should consider buying low on Young. |
Saints | Nick Saldiveri injures groin Thu Jun 13, 09:03 PM
New Orleans Saints OG Nick Saldiveri (groin) suffered a minor groin injury while doing individual drills at minicamp, head coach Dennis Allen said Thursday, June 13.
Link to story Saints | Taysom Hill agrees to reworked deal Thu Jun 13, 03:10 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Taysom Hill reportedly agreed to a restructured contract that converted his base salary to a signing bonus and lowered his salary cap number from $15.7 million to $6.8 million.
| Footballguys view: Hill has a larger cap number next year (around $18 million) but the Saints will figure that out later. For now, Hill remains the Swiss Army knife he's always been. Fantasy GMs can use him as a gadget player where league software may consider him a TE or a QB. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara unhappy with contract Thu Jun 13, 01:59 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara skipped the team's final mandatory minicamp practice on Thursday, June 13, due to what is believed to be contract-related reasons, according to Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com.
| Footballguys view: Kamara is likely looking for more guaranteed money. There's only $1 million remaining in guarantees on his contract, but Kamara is scheduled to make around $18 million this season. The Saints could potentially lower his cap number for this year and give the centerpiece of their offense more security. Stay tuned to see if this lasts into training camp. |
Saints | Juwan Johnson set for surgery Thu Jun 13, 09:05 AM
Updating an earlier report, New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (foot) will undergo surgery on his foot next week that will sideline him a while. The belief is he'll be ready for the season.
Link to story Saints | Juwan Johnson injured Thu Jun 13, 08:22 AM
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (leg) suffered a lower-leg injury Wednesday, June 12, and is expected to miss a good chunk of time. He's not expected to miss regular-season time, though.
Link to story Saints | No timetable for Ryan Ramczyk Wed Jun 12, 01:37 PM
New Orleans Saints OT Ryan Ramczyk (knee) still has not made much progress in his recovery and there is no timetable for his return, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
| Footballguys view: It's time to ask whether Ramczyk is going to play again, to be brutally honest. The Saints understand this, taking tackle Taliese Fuaga in the first round this year. If 2022 first rounder Trevor Penning can generate some positive momentum, the offensive line might be ok. Michael Thomas called out the Saints medical staff for their ineffective rehab plans earlier in the offseason. |
Saints | Sal Cannella trying out for Saints Wed Jun 12, 09:38 AM
Free-agent TE Sal Cannella will try out for the New Orleans Saints Thursday, June 13. Cannella led the UFL with six receiving touchdowns as a member of the Arlington Renegades.

Link to story Saints | Chase Young expected to sit out minicamp Sun Jun 9, 07:16 PM
New Orleans Saints DE Chase Young (neck) is not expected to participate during the mandatory minicamp because he is still recovering from neck surgery.
Link to story Saints | Alvin Kamara expected at minicamp Sun Jun 9, 06:39 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is expected to participate in the mandatory minicamp this upcoming week, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Kamara did not report for the voluntary workouts this offseason.
| Footballguys view: While Kamara hasn't participated in OTAs, ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell reports teammates and coaches have said he was around the facility over the offseason. The veteran running back finished 2023 with a disappointing 1,100 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns after missing the first three weeks to suspension. Is there potential for a rebound here? If incoming offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak uses Kamara, currently RB14 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings, the way he used Christian McCaffrey in his previous job in San Francisco, we could see a return to past form. |
Saints | Kool-Aid McKinstry may be on field next week Wed Jun 5, 08:52 PM
New Orleans Saints CB Kool-Aid McKinstry (foot) may be able to participate in some individual drills during the mandatory minicamp next week, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
Link to story Saints | Chris Olave has shoulder injury Wed Jun 5, 02:42 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (shoulder) is dealing with an unspecified shoulder injury suffered in the weight room a few weeks ago, head coach Dennis Allen said on Wednesday, June 5.
| Footballguys view: This sounds like a nothing burger, but put a pin in it just in case this shoulder problem bothers Olave during training camp and the preseason. Olave has been able to practice fully but is wearing a red non-contact jersey. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara losing explosiveness? Sat Jun 1, 09:10 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara has averaged 4.0 yards per rush or less in each of the last three seasons, and he has just one run of 30-plus yards in that span.
| Footballguys view: It happens to everyone as Father Time is undefeated. We'll see what Kamara looks like in training camp this year, but Fantasy GMs are preparing as if he'll post RB2 numbers. In PPR formats, we're still targeting Kamara to do his thing as the Saints' lead back. |
Saints | Kool-Aid McKinstry under contract Fri May 31, 04:54 PM

Link to story Saints | Taysom Hill could be true Swiss Army knife Wed May 29, 12:13 AM
New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill's unique skill set has been on full display during organized team activities, according to Matthew Paras of NOLA.com. For example, Hill took part in individual drills with the running backs last week and is working with the tight ends this week.'It's been a lot of fun. It's weird to say after seven years of doing what I've been doing that I'm being asked to do things I've never done before. That is exciting to me and it's challenging, and I love to be challenged like that. I'm grateful for those guys creating unique and fun opportunities for me,' Hill said.
| Footballguys view: Hill is kind of already that Swiss Army Knife. Fantasy GMs in superflex leagues can take advantage of Hill's status based on what your league software categorizes him as (most have him as a tight end). |
Saints | Tanoh Kpassagnon could play in 2024 Tue May 28, 07:29 PM
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints DE Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles) likely will not be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season but has a chance to play at some point during the season, according to head coach Dennis Allen.

New Orleans Saints OT Taliese Fuaga worked out at left tackle during the team's rookie minicamp and will continue working at the position for now, according to head coach Dennis Allen. However, he could shift back to right tackle, his primary position in college, if OT Ryan Ramczyk (knee) is unable to suit up or forced to retire.
Link to story Saints | Revenge Game for Derek Carr Wed May 15, 06:57 AM
The New Orleans Saints are going to play the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season.
| Footballguys view: Derek Carr gets a chance to showcase his ability to his old team near the end of the regular season. Neither team will likely be pushing for a deep postseason run, so a little extra for this game could come from Carr trying to get revenge on his old team. As a matchup in Week 17 (fantasy championship week), Fantasy GMs should take note. |

Undrafted free-agent TE Dallin Holker (Colorado State) received $235,000 guaranteed to sign with the New Orleans Saints, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell.
| Footballguys view: Holker has a nose for the end zone, and he can find the soft spot in a zone. He didn't test well in the pre-draft process, but he might have better pad speed than he does timed speed. In super crazy deep dynasty formats, we'll keep an eye on his progress. |

South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler was selected by the New Orleans Saints with the 150th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Rattler was getting hyped up before the draft, and some were saying he could go in the late first or early second round. Well, that didn't happen but the Saints felt good enough about him to take a chance on Day 3. Rattler turns the ball over a lot, but he's competitive and plays with full effort. He's a developmental prospect with the upside to be a good reserve. |
