Do you have trouble keeping track of all that has happened between the Saints and Derek Carr since his injury last season? Do you need a reminder? Here's a deep dive on the timeline of this bizarre saga nola.com/sports/saints/…
Saints working to sign veteran safety as Tyrann Mathieu's replacement after retirement nola.com/sports/saints/… via @nolanews
The Saints are working to sign veteran safety Julian Blackmon, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed. @JFowlerESPN and @RapSheet were first. There's mutual interest.
The #Saints are working to sign free agent safety Julian Blackmon as a Honey Badger replacement, per sources. Nothing done but sides have been in talks. With Tyrann Mathieu retiring, Blackmon is one of the best safeties still available.
Legendary career @TheJimmyGraham - we can’t wait to see your next adventure🫡
And that includes two torn ACLs. Remarkable reliability, even with the injury history.
Of the many impressive things Tyrann Mathieu accomplished in his remarkable career, perhaps the most impressive was this…. In a game of giants and goliaths, he missed 16 games in 12 seasons — at 5-9, 190 pounds. At safety.

Saints HC Kellen Moore says he hasn’t received his Eagles Super Bowl ring yet. Says he FaceTimed Nick Sirianni after they were given out, who gave him a lot of grief for not being there 😂
Kellen Moore said the Saints will rotate the quarterbacks early on in training camp. Plan is to rotate through the Chargers game and then adjust from there.
Kellen Moore on Tyrann Mathieu retiring: "Just a spectacular NFL career."
Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill will start camp on PUP, Loomis says.
Loomis: "Derek (Carr) not playing, it gives us a chance to reset some of the financial repercussions that we have. We're in the mode of trying to win every game. I don't look at it as a rebuild. "
Tyrann Mathieu announces unexpected retirement right before Saints training camp nola.com/sports/saints/… via @nolanews
Holy crap
Tyrann Mathieu has announced his retirement from the @NFL 🫡
The 49ers signed WR Equanimeous St. Brown to their 90-man roster at the opening of training camp. He is a six-year NFL veteran who appeared in two games with no catches for the Saints last year.
"To me, that’s what life is about.” After a period of self-pity following a broken leg in 2023, Tyler Shough began to feel normal again in part due to walks with his dog. Now, a new adventure awaits in New Orleans: nola.com/sports/saints/…
