Vilma pleased with new start in New Orleans (AP) - (08/05)

Any lingering aggravation from Jonathan Vilma's difficult final season in New York is confined to the intermittent soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. There's no hint of bitterness when the former Pro Bowl linebacker and two-time defensive captain discusses how and why his value to the Jets plummeted after Eric Mangini took over as head coach two years ago.

McCray sees Saints defense as 'dominant' (AP) - (08/05)

Bobby McCray knows little about what went wrong with the New Orleans Saints' defense last season. He's not very interested, either. "We don't talk about it," McCray said after a recent practice at Saints training camp. "This is a new start, a new defense." Not entirely new, but certainly different, in part because of the arrival of McCray, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive end who started nine games...

Cornerbacks Mike McKenzie and Tracy Porter, as well as wide receiver Devery Henderson, will sit out as well, Payton said Monday.

Pierre Thomas emerging in Saints backfield (AP) - (08/01)

Pierre Thomas joined the Saints as an undrafted rookie and a long shot to make a roster loaded with running backs. He not only beat out fourth-round draft choice Antonio Pittman to make the team, but later ended the season by earning a mention in the franchise record books, becoming the first player in the Saints' four-decade history to have more than 100 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving in...

Saints' top pick joins training camp (AP) - (07/30)

New Orleans Saints first-round pick Sedrick Ellis took a healthy amount of ribbing from his teammates on the defensive line as he arrived Wednesday at Millsaps College for training camp. Ellis gave it right back to them as he practiced for the first time since signing his five-year contract earlier in the day.

Shockey a huge addition for the Saints - (07/21)

If the Saints weren?t a legitimate threat to win the NFC before today, the most certainly will be after today. In a move that will have the Who Dat nation downing celebratory Abita beers for the next week, the Saints acquired TE Jeremy Shockey from the Giants for second and fifth-round pick in next year?s draft.

Saints season preview: Part 1 - (07/11)

With Saints training camp less than two weeks away, it is now entirely acceptable to begin salivating.  Last year?s season was a rollercoaster ride from start to finish.  It left me weary and frustrated, but also optimistic.  Even though the team didn?t live up to its post-2006 billing as the team to beat in the NFC, [...]

Who will line up next to Colston as the Saints No. 2 wide receiver? - (06/10)

Marques Colston was not among the players reporting to the Saints? voluntary OTA sessions starting yesterday and I?m not surprised one bit. Behind Drew Brees, Colston is arguably the most valuable player on the Saints offense.  He set an NFL record for most receptions in his first two years as a pro and has been the [...]

Saints D-Line is suddenly stacked - (06/02)

Last season the Giants won the Super Bowl behind the strength of an overpowering defensive line.  Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck joined forces to create the most feared front line in the playoffs.  After holding perhaps the greatest offense in the history of the league to 14 points in the Super Bowl, the [...]

Minicamp is now in session - (05/30)

Beginning today the Saints will convene for a weekend minicamp that will serve as the last organized team activity before training camp begins in two months.  What does that mean for Saints fans?  It means you better eat your hearts out now Who Dat nation, because after this weekend there won?t be a significant bit [...]
