Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Previews Camp | Michael Thomas Makes NFL's Top 10 | PFF Ranks NFL Secondaries: Sean Payton updates camp player availability, getting a look at Jameis, McCoy, and Ruiz Discussing clips from New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton's teleconference with local media. Will the team be at full strength as camp begins in earnest? What's the plan to get a look at Cesar Ruiz and Erik McCoy without a preseason? What about Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill? Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas lands on the NFL's Top-100 players list within the top 10. Does he rank highly enough to carry a "prove-it" chip on his shoulder? Or low enough to carry the "I'll show you" variety? The New Orleans offensive players aren't the only ones finding their ways on to lists these days though. Pro Football Focus ranked all 32 of the NFL's secondaries and there's a lot of faith in the Saints as lead by Marshon Lattimore, Janoris Jenkins, and PFF favorite Marcus Williams.

With only two restricted free agents remaining, what's the plan with Deonte Harty and Shy Tuttle? How the Saints can creatively work around the potential loss of Terron Armstead this offseason.

Jameis Winston Was the Right Choice as the New Orleans Saints' Starting Quarterback: The New Orleans Saints naming Jameis Winston their starting quarterback was the right choice to make. Locked On Saints host Ross Jackson breaks down why the decision was made, what Winston showed on and off the field to edge out Taysom Hill, and why Mike Martz wasn't just visiting for a cafe au lait. What does Jameis Winston at quarterback mean for Alvin Kamara, Marquez Callaway, the offensive line, and Taysom Hill? It's not just about who takes the snaps, there are several big pieces that are impacted by the quarterback selection. Here's an introduction as to what Sean Payton and the gang can now do. Saturday's preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals has moved to Noon CT in preparation of Hurricane Ida.

New Orleans Saints Jameis Winston's Recovery Could Make Him An Even Better QB: New Orleans Saints QB Jameis Winston suffered a season-ending ACL injury last season, and sees his rehabilitation process as an opportunity to get better and improve areas of the game he wants to focus on. Alvin Kamara, Jarvis Landry, Michael Thomas, and Chris Olave not only get to benefit from his on-field focus, but they help him benefit as well.

How Jameis ended up back in the Big Easy and why he wanted to return. The Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will compete with the Saints for the NFC South in 2021.

Sean Payton Trusts Jameis Winston? New Orleans Saints Keys To Victory At Washington Football Team: The New Orleans Saints fell victim to some curious moments in last week's loss to the New York Giants. From that game came a lot of questions about QB Jameis Winston and head coach Sean Payton and the trust between the two. But is trust really the dynamic at play? Or is it something more nuanced?

How returns like Michael Thomas, Tre'Quan Smith, Terron Armstead, and Erik McCoy factor in will be key. Keys to victory for the New Orleans Saints offense aren't just about one quarterback.

New Orleans Saints Have Possible In-House Defensive Coordinator Replacements For Dennis Allen: Should the New Orleans Saints lose defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to one of the NFL's open head coaching positions, they have two excellent in-house options to take over the role. Ryan Nielsen and Kris Richard both have what it takes to carry on the success of Allen's defense and add their own spin and fire to the position. If the Saints choose to go out of the facility to fill the spot, they could look to an old friend of head coach Sean Payton's in former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer. Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill both exceeded expectations in 2021, but one finite detail can be missed about Winston's passing distribution that speak positively of his decision-making, which was previously in question.

New Orleans Saints Have Ample Opportunity To Upgrade WR | QB Options Dwindling: The New Orleans Saints should be very active in the wide receiver market this offseason and with the ample talent in free agency and the NFL draft, nothing should stand in their way of some substantial upgrades. In addition to returning Michael Thomas, the Saints could add rookies like Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Christian Watson, Jameson Williams and others. Thanks to the loaded draft and free agent classes, teams may not jump as early, leaving the Saints comfortable at 18. Meanwhile, the quarterback market is headed in the opposite direction than many expected. Going from what was supposed to be one of the most active veteran QB markets in NFL history, to a lot of teams committing to their guys while at the Combine.

Deshaun Watson - New Orleans Saints Trade Would Be As Complicated As His History: The New Orleans Saints are one of two teams most connected to potentially trading for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. After not being charged in any of his nine criminal accusations last week and with 22 civil suits still open and to be determined, NFL teams clearly feel comfortable moving forward with Watson and his complicated history. How the fanbases perceive this move will be one piece of a very complex puzzle. Beyond the moral pieces affixed to this decision, the Saints and other teams will have to be willing to give up quite a bit in compensation including multiple first round picks, additional draft compensation, and a quality player or two. Some names attached to the interest of the Houston Texans include Ryan Ramczyk, Cesar Ruiz, and Erik McCoy. Is that worth it?

Sean Payton says the Saints will "work through" losing Michael Thomas to open the season with the guys they have in the building. But one of those guys, Deonte Harris, was arrested on suspicion of a DUI earlier this month, meaning the options are continuing to thin to open the 2021 NFL season if he faces suspension like PJ Williams did in 2019.

Alvin Kamara may be unavailable, but Mark Ingram has been the lead back before, can he keep the run game productive in Nashville? Odell Beckham Jr. is on his way to join the Los Angeles Rams, so the New Orleans Saints will have to improve their pass-catching woes with the receivers and tight ends already in the facility. Spacing, drops, separation have all been an issue. But creativity, match ups, and versatility are key to how the Saints can improve their situation in-house.
