The New Orleans Saints offseason may not be over yet.
The Saints have expressed interest in adding a red zone threat and contested catch target over the offseason. After skipping on adding a receiver through the 2025 NFL Draft, New Orleans could target these wideouts to the roster.

Among the players most frequently linked to the Saints was former Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen. The veteran pass-catcher played under new Saints’ head coach Kellen Moore in 2023, making him a strong candidate to fill the team’s need.

In 2024, Allen put up a respectable 744 yards and 7 touchdowns in 15 games with the Bears, being a reliable target for then-rookie Caleb Williams.
At 33 years old, Allen brings a veteran presence to the young wide receiver room. With his ability to help as a contested-catch target and Allen’s high-level route-running, New Orleans would add a veteran who fills a major need and helps their young quarterback.

Veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper surprisingly remains unsigned despite an impressive 1,250-yard season just two years ago. While Cooper wasn’t as productive in 2024—accumulating 547 yards in 14 games—the 30-year-old wide receiver still has a lot to offer.

Amari Cooper fits into the Saints’ new system similarly to how Allen would. Cooper was a middle-of-the-field threat throughout his career and has the tools to make an impact in the red zone. The 6-foot-1 wide receiver hasn’t had an impact as a scorer, but his middle-of-the-field presence is enough to fill a need for the Saints offense. Along with connections to Kellen Moore, spending the 2018-2021 seasons in his system with the Dallas Cowboys, Cooper is a strong candidate to join the wide receiver room in New Orleans.
Allen Robinson

Wide receiver Allen Robinson hasn’t had an impact on an NFL team since his 1,250-yard season with the Chicago Bears in 2020. Robinson’s role has become smaller over the years and he ended the 2024 season with just 3 receptions while appearing in 12 games with the Detroit Lions.

Despite the 6-foot-3 receiver’s lack of production over the last four seasons, he can earn a larger role with New Orleans and fill their need for a big-bodied contested catch target. Robinson would be in the cheaper range of the available receivers and has the experience of a Pro Bowl receiver.
