Saints trade deadline: Our reaction and report card

The New Orleans Saints traded away two offensive starters at the NFL trade deadline Tuesday, wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and offensive lineman Trevor Penning. Our Saints Insider crew reacts to the news, the draft capital the Saints got in return and how the offense will function without Shaheed and Penning. Finally, we give a grade for how the Saints did on deadline day given the current state of the franchise. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfltradedeadline #nfltrades #football #nfl #nflweek10 #football #fantasyfootball

In the middle of a losing season, the New Orleans Saints turn to rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to look for a spark both for their current offense and the future of their franchise. The trouble is he'll face one of the NFL's best teams (and pass rushes) in the Los Angeles Rams in a Week 9 clash. Our Saints Insiders break down the matchup, offer what a successful debut would look like for Shough and offer our keys to the game and predictions, both for the final score and what the rookie QB will look like in his starting debut. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek9 #larams #ramshouse #football #footballbetting #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints are switching their starting quarterback to second-round rookie Tyler Shough, who will replace Spencer Rattler after the Saints' 1-7 start. Our Saints Insider team discusses why the move was made now, what to expect from Shough and why the next nine games are so crucial for both the quarterback and the Saints franchise. We also take a look at the NFL trade deadline, what the Saints might do and how that will affect Shough's progress and the team's evaluation of their new starter. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek9 #nflquarterbacks #nfltradedeadline #nfltrades #fantasyfootball #football

(Our apologies for a couple of audio lapses because of technical difficulties.) The New Orleans Saints finally play their first division game of the NFL season here in Week 8, facing the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. Our Saints Insider crew breaks the game down, examining the impact of season-ending injuries to Erik McCoy and Kendre Miller, a long list of Bucs players missing the game and more, including how the Saints will try to slow Baker Mayfield and what the game means for Spencer Rattler.  #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek8 #nflpicks #tampabaybuccaneers #gobucs #football #fantasyfootball

With the New Orleans Saints sitting at 1-6 and suffering key season-ending injuries in their loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, our Saints Insiders take a look at what could be an inflection point for the team in the 2025 NFL season. We examine comments made by Mickey Loomis on his radio show, wonder about his future and how the team will be built in the near-term. We also take a look at the Tyler Shough question: When do you take a look at what the second-round rookie can do in a live game? How much would an upset win in the next two weeks change things for Spencer Rattler? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek8 #football #fantasyfootball #nflquarterbacks

The New Orleans Saints travel to face the Chicago Bears in NFL Week 7, and as they seek their first road victory of the year (and just second win overall), they'll face a familiar name in Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who was just fired as Saints head coach 11 months ago. Our Saints Insider crew breaks down the game, including the Bears' penchant for forcing turnovers, the Kendre Miller revenge angle and how the weather can affect this game. Finally, we give our keys to the game and make predictions. #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nflweek7 #bears #chicagobears #football #fantasyfootball #footballpicks #whodat #whodatnation

The New Orleans Saints broke their eight-game drought with a victory over the New York Giants on Sunday. It was an impressive performance in many ways, but how many of those are sustainable for this team? Was the improved defense a product of turnover luck or a real change? What about the contributions from young players? On the flip side, the offense's problems in the red zone are a continued issue and the special teams are struggling. Our Saints Insiders break down their takeaways in this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek6 #football

The New Orleans Saints return to the Superdome still looking for their first win.

Our Saints Insiders break down the matchup from every angle, break down the injury report and give our predictions for Sunday's game in this week's special live edition of the Saints Insider podcast. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #giants #nygiants #nfl #nflweek5 #football #fantasyfootball
