Saints 2025 Off-Season Roster Moves

vpheughan · 03-12-2025, 09:48 AM

Everything starts at the top, and the owner of the team must know what it takes to win, be willing to listen and not turn back when things get rough. Make no mistake about it: A coach or general manager who takes over a team that has won in the past can influence the current group by showcasing the franchise's previous glory as a model.

The quarterback -- The most important position on the field is the best place to start if a coach or GM wants to change the culture of a losing team. o really create long-term change, a coach and GM must fill the roster with good players who also are great men. It doesn't take too many personnel mistakes or bad apples in the locker room to drag a once-proud franchise to the bottom. The coach and, more importantly, the GM must be able to make the hard decision that appears cold on the surface but is the right thing to do in the long run. Cutting a player, firing a coach or dismissing a scout isn't easy, but the smart teams pull the trigger when necessary. The locker room is where teams can be made or dismantled. There's no fooling the players when there's a weak link in the locker room or a player interested in self-promotion over what's best for the team.

A bit of luck -- Every team needs some luck. Great preparation is more reliable than luck, but if something fortunate happens -- like getting a borderline call or an opponent missing an easy field-goal attempt -- it doesn't hurt.

Just thinking here that given what Cam Jordan has been posting the idea that we would be moving to a 3-4 may not be a given. One would expect that Cam has at least spoken to Brandon Staley about his plans moving forward. Cam is clearly thinking the same 4-2-5 base that we've had recently. The retention of the players we had thus far supports that thinking. I'm hoping Staley makes the best use of what we have available instead of forcing them into a specific scheme

Cameron Jordan, a defensive end for the New Orleans Saints, had 20 solo tackles, 23 assists, 2.0 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery in 17 games in 2023
Cameron Jordan had 18 solo tackles, 16 assists, 4.0 sacks and 1 interception in 17 games in 2024. ... 4.0 sacks and 1 interception in 17 games in 2024.

Jordan and the Saints agreed to a re-structured contract Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

I love Cam Jordan but I'm ready for some fresh faces for the 2025 season.

Same bro. Love Cam. But seriously the defense wasn’t anything to write home about last year. Now we basically have the same guys and a few decent depth guys.

“Add in Isaiah Foskey….” As what Cam? The guy who will go get snacks at half time? Lol.

I really think the players were not used to their strength's under the distracted Dennis Allen. I heard today that Staley does indeed to build the defense around the strengths of the players on the roster instead of trying to plug them into a specific scheme. That explains Cam's mention of a four man front as opposed to a 3-4 which many just assumed. Cam has also said he has indeed met with the staff. I for one believe Jordan has some gas left in the tank. The problem was that he was not in there, not by his choice, when those stat situations were at hand.

Truth.

See Philly. Fired then DC (Sean Desai) cut Darius Slay, traded Ceedy Deuce, allowed Josh Sweat to get over paid elsewhere. Even Sirianni was on the "hot seat" to start the 2024 season

GM Roseman & Lurie want results. No one is ever safe there.

Hopefully Coach Moore brings some of that mindset & philosophy to New Orleans. It's not gonna happen in 1 year though.

Tough to say that when we now know he took the Saints gig having to accept Carr as QB1.
