The Saints offseason is entering its final stretch, with mandatory minicamp next week the last step before training camp begins the 2024 season next month.
Our Saints Insiders of Luke Johnson, Rod Walker, Matthew Paras and host Zach Ewing give you some reasons they're optimistic about what the team has done this offseason — and some reasons they're discouraged.
We cover:
• Early impressions of Klint Kubiak's offense
• Concerns about Trevor Penning and the offensive line
• Reasons to believe in Trevor Penning and the offensive line
• What to expect from Cam Jordan and the defensive line
• Young players stepping into their own (Bryan Bresee?)
• Mickey Loomis' bargain-basement offseason

With the New Orleans Saints announcing Thursday that Drew Brees would enter the team's Hall of Fame this fall, our Saints Insiders — Jeff Duncan, Matthew Paras, Rod Walker and host Luke Johnson — use this episode to remember Brees. We talk about how Brees was behind the scenes, what covering his games was like — and we play the what-if game with the end of Brees' career. This is the first of many Hall of Fames for Brees. Come take a walk down memory lane with us.

With two New Orleans Saints practices open to the media in the books, the Saints Insider crew of Jeff Duncan, Luke Johnson, Matthew Paras and host Zach Ewing tackle some takeaways from OTAs:
• Who benefits the most from Klint Kubiak's new offense
• How the same defense can change the way it prepares, too
• What Taysom Hill's new role will include — and what it won't
• Has Jake Haener already won the QB2 job?
• Weekly progress report on the offensive line

The New Orleans Saints have an older roster compared to most of the NFL, and their salary cap problems are well-documented.
With that in mind, our Saints Insider crew of Rod Walker, Luke Johnson, Matthew Paras and host Zach Ewing tried an exercise on today's show: What if you had to draft Saints players based on their value for the next four years? Age, contract status and production were all considered, and we ended up with our top 12 Saints players for the next four years.
Let us know what you think of our Saints future draft and what you would have done differently.

The New Orleans Saints held their first open practice of OTAs this week, and our Saints Insider crew of Jeff Duncan, Luke Johnson, Matthew Paras and host Zach Ewing break down what they saw.
One big question: Are the Saints showing us what they plan to do on the much-maligned offensive line, or are they just trying different rotations to see what works? We break that down, answer the Marshon Lattimore question, discuss Taysom Hill's ever-changing role and more.
