EXCITEMENT: New Orleans Saints’ Tyler Shough Ignites OPTIMISM As Mickey Loomis, Kellen Moore Build

The New Orleans Saints are building serious momentum around second-year quarterback Tyler Shough, transforming him into a true magnet for top NFL free agents. With Kellen Moore and Mickey Loomis highlighting Shough as the franchise’s ultimate building block, the Saints’ cautious strategy in free agency and focus on the best player available in the draft fuel optimism for a dominant run in the NFC South.

Key questions surround retaining veterans like Cam Jordan and Demario Davis, rebooting the protection unit, and negotiating a critical extension for Chris Olave.

  1. Now that I know where the Saints are picking, I updated my simulator mock draft… I accepted a trade from Miami, and made out well… It appears Miami wanted Zach Branch pretty bad… Personally, I think they over-paid…

  4. Imo. Saints should still address the offensive line specifically the center position. Mccoy is not reliable. Not taking anything away from his play because he is a beast and a big part of the offense but not reliable. Saints should look to draft a pure center

  6. They signed Ruiz to a solid extension far too quickly. He hadn't done enough to solidify himself as a reliable or capable guard at that point, so NO signing him to the extension only reinforced Ruiz's mentality that he doesn't have to even be starter-level to make money from the Saints. He got too comfortable and, I think, quit giving much effort. Ruiz has the athleticism to be a top tier guard. But he seems to have a lackadaisical approach to training and preparing.

  7. Olave wont last long in the NFL without an accurate qb and other teams know that so hes limited on who would pay him. Mickey has to be smart about his contract. I personally would try to trade him for a 2nd.
