New Orleans Saints 85 OVR

The Saints finished 8-8 last season, a one-game improvement over the year prior. The team looks to keep improving and finish with a winning record this season. Trace McSorley will need to take a big step forward for it to happen. 

Captains

With Drew Brees gone, the team needs to select a new offensive captain. Alvin Kamara, Cam Jordan, and Marshon Lattimore will remain captains this season while Michael Thomas becomes the 4th. These are the ...

The Saints lost 17-10 because they threw a pair of pick-sixes. McSorley finished 16-24 with only 168 yards and 1 touchdown. He had 4 interceptions. One positive note is he spread the ball around to 9 different receivers. 

With the Saints all but eliminated from playoff contention, the team is giving Trace McSorley the starting nod at quarterback. The rookie will be replacing one of the best QB's of all time, Drew Brees. Brees is expected to retire at the end of this season when his contract expires. Several other changes were made to the depth chart this afternoon. Trey Hendrickson and Marcus Davenport will be taking over at defensive end. In a corresponding move, Cam Jordan will start at defensive tack...
