Week 1 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Kickoff time: TBD
Location: Caesars Superdome (New Orleans, La.)
The Saints will start at home for the seventh time in the last eight years, per NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill, and they're riding a win streak in Week 1 that goes back to 2019. It'll be Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals coming off an 8-9 finish in the crowded NFC West and looking to make some noise early this season. The Saints won the last matchup in New Orleans handily (beating the Cardinals 31-9 back in 2019) but Arizona narrowly holds the all-time series lead at 16-15, at least in the regular season. The Saints' statement win in the 2009 divisional round helped send them to Super Bowl XLIV, and it ties them up at 16-16.

Saints Coach Indirectly Slows Hype for Giants' Pursuit of Chris Olave
Saints Coach Indirectly Slows Hype for Giants' Pursuit of Chris Olave originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On paper, the New York Giants trading for receiver Chris Olave would make a good amount of sense. The New Orleans Saints don't plan on being competitive in 2025, and Olave is eligible for an extension, with his free agency looming after the 2026 season. Advertisement The Giants could stand to upgrade at receiver, too, and the chance to sign him to a long-term deal makes a trade all the more enticing. That doesn't mean a move is coming down the chute. Saints coach Kellen Moore recently quieted the rumors surrounding Olave, letting the Giants (and the rest of the league) know that he isn't available. 'I wouldn't worry too much about that,' Moore told reporters during his press conference on Thursday. 'We feel really, really good about Chris. He's had an excellent offseason, he's had an excellent career so far, and he's going to have an excellent future.' There's every chance Olave signs a second contract with New Orleans, but a handful of concerns still linger, potentially making him available (or, perhaps, less appealing). Advertisement Paramount is the five concussions Olave has suffered since debuting at Ohio State. He entered the league with one to his name but has been plagued by head injuries throughout his career. This came to an urgent head in the middle of the 2024 season. In Weeks 6 and 9, Olave suffered concussions, bringing his total to (at least) five. That's incredibly concerning for Olave and puts his long-term status in doubt. Olave found 32 catches for 400 yards and a touchdown in his half-season's worth of work in 2024. Prior, he posted two 1,000-yard seasons. On a pure talent level, he's a star and an upgrade over veteran Darius Slayton. That isn't necessarily enough to warrant a deal, especially given New York's early schedule and the likelihood that it will be out of contention by the deadline. The team also just re-signed Slayton to a three-year deal. He's a beloved veteran in the locker room and stands to improve with Russell Wilson under center. Upsetting that dynamic immediately after signing him isn't good politics, which New York might be inclined to monitor after general manager Joe Schoen ruffled feathers with corner Nick McCloud a season ago. Advertisement Olave is a movable receiver and a better option than Slayton. Given just about everything else necessary for a trade to come to fruition, it is more worth hoping he has a healthy season and hits free agency in 2026.

LSU football QB Garrett Nussmeier makes appearance at New Orleans Saints minicamp
LSU football QB Garrett Nussmeier makes appearance at New Orleans Saints minicamp LSU football quarterback Garrett Nussmeier appeared at the New Orleans Saints minicamp this week. As Nussmeier prepares to begin his fifth year at LSU, Nussmeier's Dad, Doug Nussmeier, is getting ready for year one as the Saints' offensive coordinator. Nussmeier worked alongside new Saints head coach Kellen Moore in Philadelphia. Moore intends to call the plays, but tabbing a familiar face in Nussmeier to administer the offense made perfect sense. While at the camp, Nussmeier was seen talking to Moore. He also took time to sign autographs. There's already speculation about Nussmeier being an option for the Saints in the 2026 NFL Draft. Nussmeier is expected to be one of the top QBs on the board, and the Saints are projected to have one of the top picks. The Saints picked QB Tyler Shough in the 2025 draft, but there are questions about his long-term viability as the Saints' starter. Nussmeier was one of the best quarterbacks in the country as LSU finished the season on a three-game win streak. According to BetMGM, Nussmeier ranks No. 2 on the Heisman Trophy odds board, only trailing Texas QB Arch Manning. 2024 was Nussmeier's first season as LSU's full-time starter. In four years at LSU, Nussmeier has 5,772 yards and 40 touchdowns.
