There are plenty of different paths they could take and plenty of holes that need to be filled. On today's episode of Saints Insider, we take a look at how we'd approach their to-do list, with some ideas on: • Contract extensions • Coaching changes • Decisions on popular players • Free agency • The 2026 NFL Draft We also give our initial thoughts and picks for the NFL playoffs. Here's Jeff Duncan's to-do list at NOLA.com: https://www.nola.com/sports/saints/jeff-duncan-to-do-list-for-the-new-orleans-saints-offseason/article_1462292a-6bbb-4b29-8954-6ff75f4abe2f.html #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nfloffseason #nflfreeagency #nflplayoffs #whodat #whodatnation

The New Orleans Saints play their 2025 season finale Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and our Saints Insider crew is here to break it down. We'll analyze the matchups in the game, the significant injuries the Saints are dealing with and the stakes of this game, which is plenty meaningful even though both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention. Can the Saints win their fifth in a row to end the season? We'll make our predictions, too. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #falcons #atlantafalcons #riseup #nfl #nflweek18 #nfldraft #nflplayoffs #football

The New Orleans Saints play their season finale Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in a game between two eliminated teams but still potentially a lot to play for. There are plenty of implications, starting with the idea that these teams — not the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are vying for the division title — are actually playing the best among NFC South teams. Also, it's one more chance for Tyler Shough to make his NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year case and possibly our last chance to see several Saints players in the black and gold. We'll discuss it all on this episode of the Saints Insider. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #riseup #falcons #atlantafalcons #nflweek18 #nflplayoffs

The New Orleans Saints ride a three-game winning streak into their Week 17 visit to the Tennessee Titans. It's a game between two teams eliminated from NFL playoff contention, but it's an interesting matchup of two teams with momentum — and rookie quarterbacks. Can Tyler Shough continue his momentum in the Offensive Rookie of the Year race? Will the Titans challenge the Saints' surging defense? Our Saints Insiders break down the matchup and offer their keys to the game and predictions. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #titans #tennesseetitans #nfl #nflweek17 #nfldraft #nflquarterbacks #football #fantasyfootball

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave had a career day in Sunday's victory over the New York Jets, catching 10 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns. That brings into focus the discussion around Olave — is he a No. 1 receiver? Can he stay healthy? — and the decision facing the Saints this offseason, the last Olave will have under contract with the team. Is an extension coming? What would that take from the Saints' end? This holiday edition of the Saints Insider tackles those questions. Also, we examine Brandon Staley's defense with a little point-counterpoint: Is the Saints' defensive performance a sign of things to come, or just a product of a soft schedule and favorable situations? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek17 #chrisolave #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints have won two games in a row and improved their outlook for the future since Tyler Shough took over as starting quarterback. Now comes a new challenge: The Saints are nearly a touchdown favorite against the New York Jets on Sunday in their home finale. How does the team handle that role and all of their success? Are injuries finally going to catch up to the Saints? And what should we expect of the first Aaron Glenn-Kellen Moore matchup? Our Saints Insiders answer those questions and offer keys to the game and predictions in this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #jets #nyjets #nfl #nflweek16 #football #fantasyfootball #footballpicks

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has changed the vibes around the 2025 season by leading the team to back-to-back wins. The NFL at large is starting to pay attention, and his odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year have improved dramatically. Can Shough actually win the award? Who's his competition? And what does he need to do over the Saints' final three games to finish first? Our Saints Insiders answer those questions and more, as well as look ahead to the home finale agains the New York Jets, in this week's episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek16 #nflawards #rookieoftheyear #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints have built at least a little momentum for themselves in the second half of the season, winning last week at division-leading Tampa Bay. Now they face the team that replaced the Bucs atop the NFC South in the surprising Carolina Panthers. Can the Saints knock off the division leader two weeks in a row and complete a season sweep of Carolina? Our Saints Insiders break down the matchup and give our picks on whether the Saints can win back-to-back games for the first time since last November. #saints #whodat #neworleanssaints #whodatnation #panthers #carolinapanthers #keeppounding #nfl #nflweek15 #nflonfox #football #fantasyfootball #nflpicks

After leading the New Orleans Saints to another victory, Tyler Shough is starting to get some recognition around the NFL, validating the Saints' decision to draft him and then switch to him. His statistics haven't quite caught up — he's still behind Spencer Rattler in a lot of key categories — but our Saints Insiders believe Shough has shown his value in plenty of other ways. We discuss that, plus the Saints' running game, improving defense and their chances of a strong finish on this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek15 #nflquarterbacks #nflrookies #football #fantasyfootball
