The New Orleans Saints Future Is Extremely Concerning | 2024 NFL Team Previews 

How far do you think the Saints go in 2024? 🤔

They need a hard reset and to accept they'll suck for 3 years. Their cap situation is a nightmare.

Didn’t Josh Allen also play for the University of Wyoming lol

Saints replaced their horrible OC, and he was a HUGE problem.

Here’s my issue with people criticizing the Saints Cap management, it’s typically incredibly ignorant. The Cap management strategy they adopted for the end of Bree’s’ career isn’t something you flip back to in one season, like everyone who criticizes it seems to think. I would also argue, that getting the balance sheet back to zero or below might not even be the best strategy for using the maximum amount of resources to build a team. There’s no “interest” penalty for pushing money into the future. The only real downside is on the owner of the team, because it requires more cash be paid up front. If the owners fine with that, there’s zero reason for the fanbase to complain, it doesn’t effect what they can or cannot do In really anyway, other than moving on from multiple players at the exact same time. They have to space out, moving in from players with large contracts & money pushed into future. For example, they moved on from 3 of those types of players just this season, in Winston, Mike Thomas, & Andrus Peat. They really only have 7 players left who fall under that criteria currently. Jordan, Davis, HoneyBadger, Hill, AK, Ram & Carr. Ram willl retire next season & they already reduced Cam & HoneyBadgers contracts. At the end of the day, they had 2 options, take massive Cap hits over 2 seasons & barely be able to even field a team, most likely winning only a couple days, OR, the plan they chose, a staggered reset over about 5 seasons, that allows them to remain competitive and if things work out, they’ll have the same chance to make a run in the playoffs as 90% on the NFL, still giving their Vets like Cam & Davis an opportunity in the twilight of their careers. This IS the best strategy for their Players, Fans & Ownership. The only people who are negatively effected by this strategy are the media & analysts who refuse to understand what the Saints are doing with their non-conventional Cap management.

All haters make these videos. They want the saints to blow it up and become the new Carolina Panthers

Shaheed will be fantastic, AT Perry will be solid. Taysom Hill is still a stud.

9-8 last season and they fixed their biggest problem by changing the offensive coordinator. They addressed the pass rush and offensive line concerns. Salary cap issues don't exist. They have been dealing with that "issue" for twenty years and they've been one of the best teams through that span. Weird that you would critique the defense at all. It will always be good as long as Dennis Allen is there and it's full of good players. People say they should blow it up and rebuild, guess what, they are rebuilding. Just a few years after Brees and Payton left, they are already getting better and finding a new identity. Most "cap issues" are clearing up just in time to start over paying other players in the next couple of seasons. they already have a very good roster that is weak at a couple positions. Seems like they set themselves up pretty well. Falcons ain't winning squat.

Lmao the jab at Josh Allen

Asking whether or not we trust Carr and Allen to win is not the right question to ask. People should be asking if Kubiak and Carr can put together a consistent complimentary offense to keep defenses on their toes and take advantage of the positions their good defense puts them in. As long as they can do that at an average level they will take the weakest NFC conference and be just fine this year. It's incredible how people forget that the saints completely revamped their offensive staff and mindset. I don't expect them to win the super bowl or anything, but if they string together some wins at the end of the season and carry that momentum into the post season anything can happen. Kamara for MVP!!! Geaux Saints!!

The Saints have been the most active team on pushing salary cap money into the future. Unfortunately, they have been doing this with now average to below average players who are now past their prime (Kamara - 19M cap hit, Cam Jordon - big contract to 35 year old, Carr - big contract to average player, Ryan Ramzyck - old and injury concerns. Taysom Hill - 35 year old TE, Demario Davis - big contract to 35 year old, Mattison - injury prone corner). At least Philly and the Rams who do similar cap manipulations do it with good players. The Saints will need two years to undo their cap situation and get themselves into a place where they can properly start a rebuild.

Can’t wait til they prove everyone wrong this year who dat 🔥 but yes they should’ve blown it up when Drew retired

Overall great points, but slight pushback on the GM salary cap mechanics comment. They started this max salary short term view as Brees aged and Payton wanted to try for it all, instead of it being those two covering for it this whole time. One can say they should have stopped when he retired, but ownership has a lot of say in whether they want to accept that type of embarrassing play for a year or two

I agree the Saints need to rebuild but I absolutely think Kubiak will do wonders for the run game. Carmichael didn’t know how to call run plays and the O line was so weak at it even when they were ran it was basically the running back against the whole D line. Kubiak has already been working on far more run plays in camp especially around the full back. I expect the run play numbers to go up. I don’t know how much but more

Unless you're over the age of 35 I feel like a lot of these young commentators write off athletes in their late 20s to early 30s. There is no concern. Those players are still in their prime and unless they sustained major injuries they will perform just as well or better than a 24 year old. It's like you forget these are top athletes not 33yo suburban dads.

People talking about the cap havent been following the saints the last couple years every year the cap is like -100 mil and people freak out, then they rework contracts and stuff and then theyre under. Kicking the can down the road works when the salary cap is ever increasing, as well as getting rid of some contracts and future contracts like with trey hendrickson. Micky Loomis has been the GM since 2002 i think he knows what hes doing

Offensive scheme was so bad Taysom nearly ruined the td on the first clip cuz Pete put 2 receivers stacked making the pass even harder

Yall worried about the Saints Cap, yall need to be talking about any Team that's paying their QB more than/ just as much as Mahomes lol. They're paying them more money with more help but cant beat him at the highest stage. 🤦‍♂️😂

The dolphins were also terrible vs playoff teams, so were the cowboys. I’d argue their future is even more concerning because their QBs will get paid big

How is this roster the least inspiring in the NFL? The Panthers are literally next door in the same division. Are the Titans inspiring? The Giants? I dont see how they are in the same category.

This is great stuff! Hope to see videos on all the teams, appreciate the content

That secondary is not concerning at all, its top 3

It's a middle of the pack roster, NOT a bottom five roster. Does this guy not even watch football? WOW

Seems like ever since the Saints were robbed in that playoff game against the Rams, they haven’t been the same. They’ve had talent, but never a complete team. And Injuries didn’t help either.

How are you worried about the saints secondary? Marshon, Paulson adebo, alontae Taylor, kool Aid, honey badger, Jordan howden, etc

There is a lot I disagree with in this video. Mostly all of the national talk analysis which gets a lot wrong about this team. We have an upgraded team from last season. We lost the tie breaker to get into the playoffs. No reason to think the falcons which have been extremely mid for 10 years now will all of a sudden win the division because they upgraded their QB position with an aging QB that is coming off of a major injury. Don't count the Saints out of playoff talk even at a 9-8 record because that can win this division, look at the bucs last season. Go listen to some local analyst shows and you will get a very different feel to this team.

The Saints making the playoffs this season ⚜️💯

Love the new video formats man

Respectfully, max out the cap and never plan ahead is simply wrong. It took a pandemic to derail the Saints way of doing business. The bill never comes due as long as the cap continues to rise (which it does every year). As long as they can avoid another pandemic there is no difference between the way the Saints do business and any other team.

Lol did you seriously just reupload the same Saints video 😂

I think if the saints are above .500 at Week 8, I think the saints will pull the plug on Dennis Allen. Pete is gone so that’s gotta count for something right…..RIGHT?

Idk how you could be a Saints fan. Atleast when my team sucks I have the future to look forward to. No idea what the plan is here

The Saints for the first time in forever, they didn’t spend a ton of money in free agency. Their big free agency signing was a 1 year, 13 million dollar contract to Chase Young which was really a 1 year 3.5 million. They also drafted for needs, and for future needs for a change. Lattimore is likely out the door sometime in the next two years, Carr is a contract they can get out of in two years, Ramczyk is likely to retire, Cam Jordan will retire after this year, and Alvin Kamara is likely to get an incentive based contract. People overlook the fact this is now a competitive rebuild, which is exactly what the Vikings have been doing since 2019. I think their situation is completely overhated, and it’s not impossible to get out of.

I just believe that the offense that Pete Carmichael had was not a good offense. I can see how klint Kubiack helps our offense. I feel like we could be a sneaky good team. We can probably win the division.

Ayy u got my sub I’m a falcons fan but I love the way how u talk about this weak ass team right here 🤣

Its obvious that you dont even know what is happening with the saints, you mention kendre having a bad year as if he was healthy to begin with lol. You claim theyre not doubling in penning and he was only moved to the other side of the line, you didnt mention tysom hill and you claim that they wont go from 3.6ypc to 5ypc as if improving to 4-4.3 wouldnt be a massive improvement. Nobody wanted winston to get in, the times he did he lost all the games, including a 17-0 lead in the 3rd quarter, he was so bad thst carr was forced to play Injuried against the bucs the 1st time , if carr didnt get Injuried they wouldve been in the playoffs and all of a sudden you would be Claiming thst that hace stars all around the defense because its obvious that you dont know what is going on and only repeat the same recycled commentary from the media

Im a huge Saints fan and would love to talk ball with you if you’re interested. U made some great points but some I think needs more attention

I'm a falcons fan and I don't see us winning the division. I see us starting out 4-0 maybe 5-0 against some good teams and getting a lot of hype but then losing 4 of the next 5 and being 6-4 or 5-5 losing against bad teams and losing key players to injury they then lose 4 or 5 of the last 7 to go 8-9 or 7-10 to finish 2nd to whoever it may be NO or TB who win the division by a game or win via a tie breaker better division record of 4-2 to ATL's 3-3 cause we couldn't beat any of them twice

Love your content

Pete Carmichael, that's all I have to say. He's gone now

In summary: Old men with a GM with both terrible money management and a fetish for Ohio State alumni

Carl Granderson is the best known player out of Wyoming? You forgot about Josh Allen?

saints been concerning ever since brees retired and sean payton left ya'll haven't been relevant since

Tryann left for Saints yeah nothing big happened when you left. Team really fell apart when he left Willie Gay said sure I will my chances and join him.

My Saints will be mediocre as long as Dennis Allen is the head coach. I don't know why he wasn't fired other than ownership seems to like him. I expect the Saints to be just below average again this year. As a fan, I'm hoping they tank the season so Allen will have to be fired. It may be time for Loomis to move on as well. He's been with the team since 2000.

This is a bullshit take. That team lost one game by ten or more. The idiots that talk about tearing down a team for the crap shoot of a qb. The saints are not bad truly in every game. The offensive coaching change is gonna make huge differences in this team. You guys with the doom and gloom bullshit. They are in a better place than lots of teams.

If Dennis Allen will let the offense flow and focus on D I think the Saints could surprise people our secondary is lights out , Linebackers are solid and I'm hoping the D Line rotation improves with young in the mix but this team is. D team I can be honest and say the O line is concerning

The Future Isnt Doomed! We Still Have Multiple Drafts Coming And We Resetted Our Mane Issue, And That Was OC and the entire offensive staff we good, our qb had a solid year to say he had a terrible person calling plays for him and a bad oline carr will be okay! our defense is top in the league and cap aint nun fareal! we will be okayy! whodatt

Saints will win the South this upcoming season. Book it!

I'm 100% sure Josh Allen is most notable player from university of wyoming.

Yeah i think NO will struggle, Atl got better, TB is still a good team, just Car struggle too, so winning their division will be hard, depends if they can remain healthy

can’t wait with saints win the division i’ll be back

Sorry, who is the most famous person to play for Wyoming in the NFL?

The Saints dont rebuild. They reconstruct 😂

Josh Allen played for Wyoming…

Josh Allen went to Wyoming. Your voice without facial expressions is not one to use for sarcasm, unless you’re intentionally being a troll

Idk what the future holds for my Saints. I’m curious mostly. Don’t really Believe in Allen long term.

We haven’t even tried to rebuild since Drew left. Instead of mediocrity every year I’d rather just tank and draft a QB. So frustrating

Bro you hurt my feelings so much with your Saints content. 😢 because it’s all true 😭😭😭😭

Our offense was our issue with Pete he never should of got the play calling job after SP left. If everyone can stay healthy kubiak will unlock the offense and Carr can be a good game manager for us and get us into the playoffs again. He showed improvement down the stretch last season and just needs a guy like kubiak. Also in regards to our future we’ve got plenty of building blocks, Olave, Shaheed, A.T, Bub Means, Fuaga, Kendre Miller, Kool Aid, Adebo, Tae Taylor, Howden breakout candidate at safety, granderson is the most underrated edge in the league and will be another age less guy like demario where he’ll age like fine wine, who knows what we got in foskey, turner I’m happy to say is a bust mainly due to his injuries, Bresee, Khristian Boyd could become a steal to, Ford at lb will be another steal to. Get your heads out of your bootys and stop being sheep if you break our team down we are a lot better off than most teams are.

If derek carr can have a 25 td season with a bad oline imagine what he can do with an improved oline?🤔

great vid FA

Everyone who’s not a saints fan is steady CAPPIN on the saints. Y’all don’t know what we’ve got brewing up. Just watch. We gon surprise all of you 💪🏽

The Saints are the most purgatory team in the NFL. They don't wanna rebuild no matter what so it's like why bother? Also remember when Saints fan thought for sure they would make the playoffs? 😂

Commenting to help with the algorithm.

do a video on tampa 🙏

As a Saints fan... I don't know what we're doing, either. We should've blown it up last year. The fact that we didn't is an insult to us fans.

You said saints beat teams like falcons but you still have them over the saints i guarantee it lol

Saints will beat panthers and cowboys, lose to eagles beat the falcons and lose to chiefs. 3-2 start you heard it hear first

Damn bro just keeps getting tanner and tanner

If their division wasn’t so bad they would’ve blown it up a couple years ago. It’s hilarious that the Saints terrible rivals are keeping them mediocre.

Another year of running Kamara and Taysom Hill to the ground.

New Orleans native and Saints fan for life and I been calling for the rebuild since 2021, it was clear as day the direction the team was heading in our first year post Drew Brees and Loomis/Benson seem to think Drew Is still here. Take the bad years build some draft stock, GET UNDER THAT CAP FORREAL not just kicking it down the road and live with the results. The Bills did it and have been in the playoffs the last 6 years straight.

So, sites like these cater to haters, not lifelong SAINTS fans. Prediction: SAINTS SWEEP DIVISION!

Who are the maxing the cap on? Chase young is traaassshh!

I pray to god you aren’t a Vikings fan because they won’t even be half as good as the saints

You play to win the game!

I havent seen the video yet, but as a Saints fan, theres one word the saints need to do, REBUILD. At best, we are a 1st round exit, and at worst, a 7-10. To bad to be good, and to good to be bad.

Saints are going to be Selecting Arch Manning in the 2026 Draft with the 1st overall pick. Start the Process!!!

The Aints have soo many players over 30 years old it blows my mind! Them being able to play a full 17 game schedule is a big hurdle in itself. As a Raiders fan I know Derek Carr just isn’t consistent enough since he got that big injury pre 2020. He will always have decent stats but he can’t drive the ball down the field and gets scared when the D Line gets close.

hopefully we’ll have a firing and benching by week 8 so well can finally start making progress

You have no clue what you are talking about 😂😂😂 the problem with he internet is anyone can just post anything

Sadly, i think they are going to have a bad year but get a qb in the next draft and turn it around

8 wins in 2024 is the optimistic projection. I barely see 7 wins form their schedule.

They are where the Vikings were a few years ago, except even worse. They need a reset.

They also lost Michael Thomas…

Smh who dat

At least you are bitching about being mediocre -- you got your Superbowl title to show for it, which is more than a lot of teams including my Bengals. Be grateful.

Spot on 🎯😩

Idk - as a Miami fan the saints have been really active and seem to be making all the right moves- they also got rid of cancers like Winston and Thomas . Picking up Gay and Young was pretty stout and had a really good draft class - Kubiak i believe is a pretty solid coach - so by and large I think they are doing a lot of good. I wouldn’t want to play them -

I couldn’t disagree more!

No hate but i feel like you cant speak on football with no football experience have you ever played or even put on pads ? lol.😂

YOU HAVE THE WORST TAKES I HAVE EVER HEARD AINT NO WAY YOU SAID ATLANTA IS WINNING THE DIVISION🤣

NOLA itself, is in serious danger.

Professional Can Kickers

6-11

I'm not looking forward to this season as a saints fan for more than 15 years I'm thinking we're probably going to be worse than we were last year probably like 6-11 or 5-12

That’s my team ⚜️ dump Allen as head coach bring in “Chucky” HC (Gruden), get behind Carr or move on from him. Defense is a ????? mark!!! Great analysis Homie ✌🏻🫶🏻 I agree 😢

The Saints became irrelevant as soon as Payton left😢
