Cooper Pratt!!! Mississippi kid. Seeing him grow as a player throughout the playoffs has been so cool.

You don't want to make too much of these practice squad changes, but the Saints may have tipped their hand on the plans for rookie WR Jordyn Tyson. They wouldn't have opened a spot in the receiving corps for no reason, right? saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Chase Young has made an argument to be recognized as the Saints' best player and earned a big contract extension. Here's what it could look like. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

BRING IT HOME WOODY

I’ve been busy with a school event for my daughter. The Brewers are up how many runs??

Young's new deal is going to be expensive. Here's what I modeled based off Will Anderson's extension. Messy spreadsheet, deal with it 4 years, $175M, restructures his 2027 cap hit so it's really a 5-year deal

Chase Young is on pace to tie the New Orleans Saints' single-season sacks record. He's due for a big contract extension, and he's already proven to be worth the investment. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

This guy is soft as baby shit lmao

Between big names on injured reserve and active players banged up in recent games, here are five situations to monitor during the New Orleans Saints' bye week. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Would the New Orleans Saints even be an appealing job opening if they fired Kellen Moore? Take a look at their 2027 salary cap, draft picks, and more. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Okay I lied, 5 of these moves are about salvaging this season and the other is about looking to 2027

It doesn't look like firing Kellen Moore is on the board (even if it should be). Here are six realistic moves the Saints can make during the bye week. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

The New Orleans Saints aren't alone in the NFC South's basement, but their trajectory couldn't be more different from their neighbors'. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Barring another NFC East tie (pls pls pls), the Saints should be picking 11th after tonight's Cowboys-Eagles game.

Where are the New Orleans Saints picking in the 2027 NFL Draft? Despite slipping into a 2-5 record, they're barely inside next year's top 10 picks. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

The Saints never even bothered to interview Mike McCarthy before hiring his understudy Kellen Moore. Now he's led the Steelers to a win against them. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Funny enough, it feels like Kellen Moore would've really enjoyed coaching Boise State after he politely turned them down a couple of years ago.

Tyler Shough's teammates like Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy admit they're letting him down. The Saints can't keep asking him to be perfect: 'I feel like we put a lot of pressure on him today. And that's not fair to him' saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I don't even credit Kellen Moore for finding Tyler Shough. Jeff Ireland has talked about how the Saints were scouting him at Texas Tech, before he transferred to Louisville. What's important is they have a QB they can win games because of. They must find a coach who won't fail him.

Kellen Moore wouldn't be the first NFL head coach to be dismissed after an embarrassing loss overseas, but he should be next. He doesn't have answers for the Saints' problems. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

The Saints have an unreliable kicker and a penalty-prone special teams unit. They can't come out of the bye week with the same people in place. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

42-year old Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers outrushed every Saints player. It's time for New Orleans to take some cooks out of that kitchen. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Gayle Benson warned the Saints not to embarrass her in Paris. There should be consequences as Kellen Moore continues to fail to deliver results. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Kellen Moore should begin penning his jisei now. Doug Nussmeier ought to serve as his kaishakunin.

Just a poorly-coached, undisciplined team. Leave Kellen Moore and Phil Galiano on the tarmac.

Charlie Smyth should have gotten the nod for this game.

The Saints are averaging 1.4 yards per carry. Tyler Shough's 6-yard run leads the team.

Great play by Payton Wilson to punish Shough for making a bad decision in a high leverage situation. But you can’t stress enough how little support Shough is getting from his coach and run game. He’s got to do everything by himself today (and almost every other Sunday).

Shough threw behind Olave and telegraphed the play with his eyes. Bad move by him in the red zone. At the same time, this team cannot run the ball against any team with a moderately disciplined defense. They’re putting way too much pressure on an inexperienced QB.

The New Orleans Saints have more games played (7) than first-quarter points (6) this season. At what point does Kellen Moore do something about it? saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Saints declining to activate either running back on their practice squad with just three healthy guys on the 53 is odd. They miss CJ Donaldson in this situation but he's hurt. Can't trust Kendre Miller

Shough dealing with two injured hands.

Nobody told the Saints it was National Tight Ends Day

Drew Brees, watching this game from his phone will crushing a plate of beefy mac: F'in finally

Kellen Moore has done a terrible job scripting opening drives in every stop. At what point does he put in the work to figure out why what he's doing isn't working?

Who's in, who's out? The New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers announced their inactive players for the NFL's first game in Paris. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

BREWERS

The NFL couldn’t protect Bill Vinovich forever (or they at least couldn’t get him to work a Saints game without gifting him a Paris vacation). The head referee from the infamous NFC Championship Game No-Call will work Sunday’s game with the Steelers. saintswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
