Pete Werner Must Become A Bigger Playmaker For New Orleans Saints Defense
Credit: Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports
After complementing Demario Davis for three years, rock-solid Pete Werner now faces a challenge for both playing time and a bigger contract
By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI
New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis has been one of the NFL's best defenders at any position since arriving to the team as a free agent in 2018. For six consecutive years, Davis has had at least 105 tackles and no less than 10 stops for loss. One of the league's best against the run, he's also been equally effective against the pass in both coverage or as a pass rusher.
The challenge for the Saints has been finding a running mate to Davis at linebacker. Alex Anzalone, drafted in 2017, had his moments but missed a lot of time with injuries. Kaden Elliss, drafted in 2019, was best as a pass rusher and downhill defender but struggled in coverage.
Kwon Alexander, traded for in 2020, was an ideal athletic complement to Davis but also struggled with injuries. Alexander, like Anzalone and Elliss, would leave in free agency after 17 games played with New Orleans.
Willie Gay Jr. was signed as a free agent this offseason. Gay, 26, is a terrific athlete with excellent instincts and has looked Davis-like at times during his first four NFL seasons with Kansas City.

NEW ORLEANS — The Saints will hold a three-day minicamp beginning Tuesday and we expect to see all the players that skipped the voluntary workouts to participate this week. It's also another opportunity for the new players and rookies to work with the team.
And that means more reps for Spencer Rattler, the outside interest is high on how the rookie 5th rounder is progressing, simply because he plays quarterback.
Rattler joins Jake Haener and veteran Nathan Peterman in the competition to be the backup to Derek Carr.
Now it's usually not the easiest transition from college to the pros, so...

Countdown to Kickoff: Tanoh Kpassagnon is the Saints Player of Day 92
It’s such a shame that the New Orleans Saints are going to be without Tanoh Kpassagnon while he recovers from an offseason Achilles injury — the big defensive end has been one of their more productive free agent finds in recent years. Kpassagnon’s main goal this year is obviously getting healthy, but there’s a chance he could return to the field before the season ends in January.
Before we get to that, though, let’s get to know him a little better:
Kpassagnon has turned into a great value signing for the Saints. After initially playing out a two-year, $4.5 million deal in 2021 he signed...

2024 Saints game previews: Week 18 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We’ve reached the finish line. The New Orleans Saints will close out their 2024 regular season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, giving them the opportunity for a road game outdoors under the Florida sun. We’re guessing the weather will be pleasant even in January.
And a lot could be at stake in this one; the NFL is waiting to see how the standings line up before scheduling the exact time slot. If the Saints and Buccaneers are both competitive when the playoff picture takes shape, this game could draw a national spotlight.

92 days until Saints season opener: Every player to wear No. 92
There are 92 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 season against the Carolina Panthers, so we’re counting down the days by looking back at every player to wear the No. 92 jersey in black and gold. September’s kickoff game will be here before we know it.
The number’s current owner, defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon, switched to it after Marcus Davenport used it for five years. It changed hands many times before Davenport picked it up, most notably being worn by Super Bowl XLIV champion Remi Ayodele from 2008 to 2010.

CSC Poll Results: Which offensive player is most likely to have a career season?
In this week’s CSC poll question, we asked which of the below statistical accomplishments on offense is most likely:
With 47.1% of the 306 total votes, wide receiver Chris Olave having a 1,300+ yard season was your winner. Olave has gone for 1,000+ yards each of his first two seasons, but a 1,300-yard season would be by far his best year. If Olave were to reach that mark it would be the first such season for the Saints since Michael Thomas in 2019, and only the 7th 1,300-yard season in team history. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is no stranger to that milestone however, as last...

Former Green Bay Packers All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari remains on the free agent market, and Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox linked Bakhtiari to the New Orleans Saints in what he says would be a perfect marriage. Bakhtiari was once a consistent member of the All-Pro team year in and year out. He was the only offensive tackle to make All-Pro every year from 2016 to 2020.
Unfortunately, injuries derailed what once appeared to be a promising Hall of Fame career. The Saints have seen that story before. A torn ACL on Dec. 27, 2020 left a permanent impact on Bakhtiari’s left knee and he...
