When the Saints host the 49ers in week two of the 2025 NFL season, not all football fans in Louisiana will be able to see the game on traditional TV broadcast.
Are Saints fans relying on better living through chemistry to help them get through the games? Well, there's apparently one thing almost all Saints fans were on yesterday.
The New Orleans Saints' recent roster moves, particularly at quarterback, have sparked a controversial theory: Is the team intentionally tanking the 2025 season? Many believe the answer is a resounding yes, all to secure the top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The target? None other than Texas phenom Arch Manning, whose family ties to the Saints organization run deep.
Well it didn't take long for the New Orleans Saints to make this change. Although it was probably brought on by the player, and not the team. Literally the same day former Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr was placed on the Reserve/Retired List with the NFL offices, the team reassigned his jersey number.
The New Orleans Saints are finally confronting a decade of "kick the can" with their salary cap, a game of financial deferment that has culminated in an unexpected reckoning. With the surprise retirements of quarterback Derek Carr and offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk, the team finds itself with significant salary cap relief, albeit at the cost of immediate experience on offense. This pivot forces the Saints to rely on their recent NFL Draft picks, Kelvin Banks Jr. and Tyler Shough, ushering in an era of newfound financial flexibility but also undeniable on-field uncertainty as they rebuild for the future.
