Placing Wagers on the Saints in 2025: Super Bowl Probabilities, Victory Targets, Propositions, Top Wagers, and Predictions for New Orleans
New Orleans Saints Shake Up Roster Ahead of 2026 Season
The New Orleans Saints have been busy this offseason, making several significant moves to bolster their roster and secure their long-term future.
In a bid to find a new quarterback star, the Saints had Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler as their main candidates leading into the 2026 season. However, doubts about both players prompted the team to focus on the 2026 NFL Draft for a potential acquisition.
The Saints have a new coaching staff, with Kellen Moore taking the helm as head coach. Moore, who has orchestrated high-powered offenses during his six years as an NFL offensive coordinator, will be looking to continue this trend in New Orleans.
One of the key additions to the Saints' roster is Kelvin Banks, drafted in the first round to strengthen the offensive line. The offensive line was already performing well last year, with Drew Carr having the lowest sack rate in the NFL.
The Saints have also added a host of new faces, including Jamaal Williams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jack Stoll, Ryan Ramczyk, Lucas Patrick, Shane Lemieux, Lucas Patrick, Oli Udoh, Justin Herron, Davon Godchaux, Payton Turner, Tanoh Kpassagnon, Wille Gay, Paulson Adebo, Shemar Jean-Charles, Tyrann Mathieu, Will Harris, Darren Rizzi, Klint Kubiak, and Joe Woods.
Despite these additions, the Saints' defense has taken a hit with the departures of cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo. The defense, which has been a relatively steady unit in recent years, slipped considerably last year. However, the team has brought in some experienced veterans to help shore up the defense, including Mathieu and Kpassagnon.
The Saints' schedule for the 2026 season includes home games against the Giants, Jets, and Patriots, as well as division matchups against the Panthers and Falcons.
In terms of offense, the Saints have selected Spencer Rattler as their Week 1 starter. Rattler, who was 0-6 as a starter last year and threw four touchdowns to five interceptions while fumbling five times, will be looking to prove himself in the new season. Alvin Kamara, the 30-year-old running back, will also be a key player for the Saints. Despite his age, Kamara has never rushed for 1,000 yards in his career.
Brandin Cooks, who was the team's first-round pick in 2014, remains on the Saints' roster. The team's pass catchers' yardage leader went for 548 yards last season, and Cooks will be looking to build on this in the upcoming season.
As the 2026 season approaches, the Saints will be hoping that their offseason moves will pay off and help them to challenge for a playoff spot. With a new coach and a host of new players, it promises to be an exciting season for the New Orleans Saints.
