Welcome to today’s roundup of New Orleans Saints and NFL news.

The Saints are entering the 2026 trade deadline with some options. They can sell some of their veterans to get younger at positions while also getting future draft capital, or they can make some small moves to upgrade the roster.

New Orleans’ division is wide open, and with pressure to compete, the Saints may be willing to find upgrades to make a push, but their first move of the trade deadline was on the selling side.

Will make the IR decision more complicated…
