The New Orleans Saints have an interesting season ahead in 2023-2024 with a new quarterback at the helm. They are seen as the favorites to win the weak NFC South and have a great chance to make the playoffs in head coach Dennis Allen’s second season with the team.

The New Orleans Saints opened their 2023 training camp on yesterday with both 100% attendance and participation due to no injuries but unfortunately that did not last long. News came out of today's training camp practice that Saints OT Trevor Penning is dealing what was call a "minor" foot injury.

The New Orleans Saints had quarterback issues once again and finished with a losing record of 7-10. However, the Saints addressed that issue in the off-season by signing QB Derek Carr from the Las Vegas Raiders. The signing of Carr gives New Orleans a better chance to win the NFC South this upcoming season.

This offseason many teams have been looking to hire new coaches. However, out of all coaches, one stood above the rest. That coach is former Super Bowl-winning coach Sean Payton. After having it look like Sean Payton would sit out the 2023 season and remain in broadcasting for another year, we now know he will be returning to coaching.

The Saints weren't the only ones trending last week. The New Orleans Saints reporter, Aileen Hnatiuk reacts after going viral on Twitter with her 'That's a wrap' tweet that has been seen by more than 6.8 MILLION people. She responded as any southern lady would, with a fun, yet direct statement 'Y'all are wild!'

New Orleans Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis held his end of the season press conference on Saturday and while not many details were given about the decisions the team is facing in the near future, one of the biggest questions did get answered: Dennis Allen would remain as the Saints head coach next season.

A disappointing end to a disappointing season. Sadly, the New Orleans Saints started the season off with so much hope and promise, only for almost every one of them to be broken.

The New Orleans Saints and WR Michael Thomas have agreed to a restructured contract, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Thomas who is 29 years old, is under contract with the Saints through the 2024 season. His base salary in 2023 will be reduced from $15.5 million to $1.165 million. Also, if he is still with the team in 2023, Thomas will receive a $31.75 million roster bonus that will be fully guaranteed on the 3rd day of the league year, which is March 17th. Thomas will also receive a signing bonus of $908K this week, which is the equivalent to one extra game check for this season.

On Friday, the Saints held their 33rd annual Hall of Fame luncheon where three new members were introduced into the Saints Hall of Fame.

The New Orleans Saints announced on Saturday that they have placed wide receiver and return specialist Deonte Harty on injured reserve. In last Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, Harty left the game in the first half with what has been described as a significant turf toe injury. Harty did not participate in practice all week and was ruled out of today's game against the Bengals on Friday, prior to being placed on the injured reserve list. When he was asked about the injury, Saints head coach Dennis Allen did not give any updates after practice in press conferences. Saints' rookie left tackle Trevor Penning suffered a similar injury in preseason and he is said to be out until at least next month.

Another Saints game, Another questionable call. This is really starting to sound like a broken record. In the 4th quarter of yesterday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, safety Tyrann Mathieu was called for illegal hands to the face on a play that appeared to be a 3rd down stop by the Saints defense. Due to the penalty, the Vikings were given a 1st down and their drive continued. The problem is Mathieu did not put his hands in Jefferson's face, he just jammed him in the shoulder. After the game, Mathieu was asked about the call and said, “I don’t think I touched him in the face. I know I didn’t.”

The first quarter of the Saints season is almost over, and we are nowhere near where we thought we would be or should be. Sitting at 1-2 may not mean a lot in a 17-game season but what has happened over the past three games is more than concerning. On paper, this Saints team is one of the most talented in the league but that has failed to transpire on to the field. Mounting injuries, penalties, poor play calling, and slow starts are digging the Saints into a hole they may not be able to crawl out of. According to this week's injury reports, QB Jameis Winston has not been practicing. Both Andy Dalton and Taysom Hill are getting snaps at quarterback. It looks like Dennis Allen has a big decision to make and soon. But the team's issues are far deeper than the injuries at quarterback. As Allen said after the game on Sunday, "We're beating ourselves. We're beating ourselves with penalties. We're beating ourselves turning the football over and that's got to stop."
