Bleav in Saints

Mario Jerez, Spanish play-by-play voice of the New Orleans Saints and proud New Orleans native, is joined by veteran Saints and NFL reporter Erin Summers to discuss one of the biggest stories of the Saints offseason: Chris Olave's new contract extension. Olave and the Saints agreed to a four-year, $130 million deal with $90 million guaranteed, making him the sixth-highest paid wide receiver in the NFL at $33 million per season. Mario and Erin discuss why the extension was a necessary move, how Olave has thrived despite constant coaching and quarterback turnover, and why his resilience and professionalism have helped make him one of the league's most consistent young receivers. The conversation also examines Olave's remarkable journey following multiple concussions during the 2024 season, the uncertainty surrounding his football future at the time, and how he responded with the best season of his career in 2025. Plus, the hosts discuss FanDuel's projections for Olave's receiving totals this season and whether he can continue producing at an elite level. Later in the show, Mario and Erin recap the Saints' third training camp practice before the team's scheduled day off. While the defense continues to look ahead of the offense in team drills, there were still encouraging moments from Tyler Shough, Bryce Lance, Noah Fant, and several young playmakers. The hosts break down key injury updates, roster notes, and what has stood out during the first week of camp. Defensively, Quincy Riley and Jaden Price generated buzz with impact plays in front of fans, while veterans like Ike Yiadom continue making strong impressions. Mario and Erin also discuss which individual players have caught their attention so far, including Kool-Aid McKinstry, Kaden Elliss, Nathan Shepherd, and others making a push for larger roles. Finally, the running back room is beginning to take shape. Alvin Kamara, Travis Etienne Jr., and Kendre Miller appear to be separating themselves from the rest of the group, and Miller's return from a season-ending ACL injury continues to be one of the most encouraging developments of camp.

The first day of New Orleans Saints training camp is officially in the books, and there was plenty to discuss. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers react to an energetic opening practice in Metairie, highlighted by full team drills, a fast and physical defense, and several encouraging developments on the health front. The biggest positive? Rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson was a full participant throughout practice after being limited during much of the spring. With the cautious ramp-up seemingly behind him, the conversation shifts from his health to what he can realistically bring to the Saints offense in Year 1. The hosts also discuss Chris Olave's limited participation as contract extension talks continue, the concerning knee injury suffered by defensive tackle Bryan Bresee, and what they observed from the Saints' revamped secondary. Justin Reid's description of the defense as "controlled chaos," along with his glowing praise for Kool-Aid McKinstry, offers another glimpse into the identity New Orleans is trying to build under Kellen Moore. Plus, Mario and Erin examine the running back rotation featuring Alvin Kamara, Travis Etienne, Kendre Miller, and Devin Neal, why Miller may have one of the highest ceilings in the room, and what stood out from Tyler Shough's media availability. The young quarterback discusses his leadership growth, confidence entering Year 2, and the increased responsibility he's been given within the offense. The show also looks at FanDuel's odds for Jordyn Tyson's rookie production, Alvin Kamara's outlook on the running back room, and why optimism around this Saints team feels noticeably different compared to a year ago. To close things out, Mario and Erin take a quick tour around the NFC South, including injury concerns in Carolina and the latest contract-related developments involving Falcons star running back Bijan Robinson.

Saints training camp is officially underway, and the excitement around the 2026 season is starting to build. On this episode of the BLEAV in Saints Podcast presented by FanDuel, Mario Jerez and Erin Summers break down everything from the Saints' opening training camp press conferences, including key comments from General Manager Mickey Loomis and Head Coach Kellen Moore. They also discuss the Saints' strong overall health entering camp, the significance of Chris Olave being cleared to practice despite ongoing contract negotiations, and what to make of rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson's recurring hamstring issue. Mario also explains why Tyson's situation reminds him of Marshon Lattimore's injury history at Ohio State and why patience may be required with the talented rookie. The conversation shifts to the offensive line, where continuity and the addition of veteran David Edwards have created optimism for a unit that quietly made major strides during the offseason. Mario and Erin also examine why the Saints' recent draft classes could become some of the franchise's best if several second-year players take the next step. Plus, Mickey Loomis offered some of his strongest praise yet for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, acknowledging that the Saints' ceiling this season may ultimately depend on how quickly the young signal-caller develops. The hosts discuss what that means for the quarterback competition and whether Taysom Hill still has a place on the roster. Kellen Moore also didn't shy away from expectations, openly stating that the goal is to win the NFC South and still be playing football in February. Is that confidence justified? Mario and Erin share their thoughts. Finally, the show takes a tour around the NFC South, including playoff odds for all four teams, a devastating injury for Carolina, Atlanta's quarterback concerns entering camp, and the latest developments in Tampa Bay, where Vita Vea has reportedly requested a trade and questions continue to surround the Buccaneers' long-term outlook.

Training camp is finally here, and the Saints are less than a month from taking the field for games. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers share their overall thoughts on New Orleans' offseason before diving into the biggest roster battles and position groups to watch when camp opens next week. The duo examines the crowded wide receiver room behind Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson and Devaughn Vele, where a long list of young players and reclamation projects will be competing for limited roster spots. They also discuss the intriguing competition at middle linebacker between veteran Pete Werner and rising second-year standout Danny Stutsman, as well as the evolving linebacker roles in Brandon Staley's defense with Kaden Elliss taking over as the signal-caller. On the defensive line, Mario and Erin look at whether former first-round pick Tyree Wilson and veteran Anfernee Jennings can carve out significant roles behind Chase Young, Carl Granderson and Cam Jordan. They also break down the Saints' kicker competition between Charlie Smyth and UFL standout Tanner Brown, one of the few true starting-job battles on the roster. The conversation continues in the secondary, where Kool-Aid McKinstry leads a young cornerback group that includes Quincy Riley, Martin Emerson, Isaac Yiadom and several versatile defensive backs competing for snaps. Plus, the hosts check in on the latest FanDuel NFC South odds, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain division favorites, while the Saints sit firmly in the hunt. Erin also shares insights from covering the 2026 American Conference Kickoff. Finally, Mario and Erin celebrate Drew Brees' ongoing Hall of Fame media tour, reflecting on his impact both on and off the field, the national spotlight he's bringing to New Orleans, and why it's so special to see one of the city's greatest ambassadors receive the recognition he deserves before his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The conversation then shifts to wide receiver Chris Olave, who landed at No. 64 on the NFL Top 100 list while entering the final year of his rookie contract. Is a long-term extension inevitable? What would Olave need to prove this season to justify a massive new deal, and how important is his connection with second-year quarterback Tyler Shough? Mario and Erin also dive into the recent quarterback-led workouts in Southern California, where Saints players spent time training alongside franchise legend Drew Brees. They discuss Brees' message to the team, Lance Moore's involvement with the receivers, and why Brees credited Shough for organizing and leading the sessions. As training camp approaches, the hosts examine one of the most intriguing position groups on the roster: the interior defensive line. They react to recent reporting suggesting potential changes could be coming up front and discuss why the position could have a major impact on the Saints' season. Plus, Mario and Erin reveal their biggest X-factor players on offense and defense, and they close the show by looking at FanDuel's odds for the Saints to make the playoffs at +176.

Mario Jerez and Erin Summers are joined by Saints safety Justin Reid for an in-depth conversation as training camp approaches. Justin reflects on his unique football journey, from growing up in Ascension Parish and starring at Dutchtown High School to choosing Stanford over LSU and eventually becoming a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs. Reid discusses the influence of his family, including his mother's remarkable work ethic and his early passion for soccer, which nearly became his primary sport before football took center stage. Justin also opens up about life away from the field, sharing his interests in photography, chess, and other personal passions that help him stay balanced during the NFL season. On the football side, Reid provides insight into the Saints' offseason preparations, his growing role as a veteran leader, and the benefits of another year in Brandon Staley's defensive system. He discusses the impact of players such as Chase Young, Justin Blackmon, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Jonas Sanker, while also evaluating the continued development of quarterback Tyler Shough. Reid shares his thoughts on what Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne can bring to the offense and explains how familiarity and continuity could help elevate the Saints defense in 2026. The conversation also touches on the NFC South race, New Orleans' rivalry with Atlanta, comparisons between Brandon Staley and Steve Spagnuolo, and Reid's approach to blocking out outside noise and “fabricated hearsay” as the Saints prepare for a pivotal season.

Matt and Phil Simms dive into a second-year QB roundup: Phil raves about Jaxson Dart's arm and running ability in New York, calls Tyler Shough one of the more underrated young quarterbacks in the league, and saves his biggest praise for Caleb Williams (a third-year guy) — who he calls arguably the most talented QB in the NFL alongside Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

The Saints are starting to turn heads across the NFL. On this episode of the BLEAV in Saints Podcast, presented by FanDuel, Mario Jerez and Erin Summers dive into the growing national hype surrounding New Orleans after The Athletic named the Saints one of the five offenses most likely to break out in 2026. Is the optimism justified, or is this the kind of praise that should make Saints fans nervous? The discussion begins with the biggest reason for the excitement: the offense. Mario and Erin break down why analysts believe the Saints could take a major leap forward behind a rebuilt offensive line, a healthier supporting cast, and the continued development of quarterback Tyler Shough. Can Kellen Moore's system unlock an offense that struggled mightily in the red zone and near the bottom of the league in several key categories last season? Then, Tyler Shough joins the spotlight after appearing on Chris Long's podcast and offering some fascinating insight into his new teammates. Shough compares first-round pick Jordyn Tyson to Chris Olave, calling the rookie a "carbon copy" of the Saints' star receiver. Is that a compliment, or would New Orleans benefit from having a different skill set at wide receiver? The hosts debate Tyson's upside, his receiving-yard prop bet, and whether expectations are already climbing too high. Shough also shares his thoughts on Chris Olave's unique ability, the Drew Brees-led offseason retreat with Saints pass catchers, and why he believes Eric McCoy and Juwan Johnson remain two of the most underrated players on the roster. Plus, Mario and Erin explain why Johnson's production last season deserves far more attention heading into 2026. Later, it's time for another fun FanDuel futures conversation. Sportsbooks appear to be believers in Kellen Moore, but not necessarily in his young quarterback. Tyler Shough currently sits at 100-to-1 odds to win NFL MVP. Is there any realistic path for him to join the exclusive list of second-year quarterbacks who captured the award alongside Dan Marino, Kurt Warner, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson? All that, plus a birthday shoutout to a Saints legend and much more on the latest BLEAV in Saints Podcast.

Mario and Erin open by looking at ESPN's annual survey of NFL executives, coaches and scouts, where both Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne Jr. received votes among the league's top running backs but neither cracked the Top 10. Is Etienne being overlooked entering his first season in New Orleans? And what should Saints fans realistically expect from a backfield featuring Etienne and Kamara? That conversation leads into a debate about Kamara after Bleacher Report labeled him the NFL's most overpaid running back for 2026. Fair criticism or disrespect? The show also highlights some national recognition for the Saints defense, including Kool-Aid McKinstry receiving votes in ESPN's cornerback rankings. Is a breakout season on the horizon for the young corner? Then it's time to talk odds. FanDuel currently lists Kellen Moore among the favorites for NFL Coach of the Year, despite New Orleans entering the season with relatively modest expectations. What would have to happen for Moore to cash that ticket, and what does it say about how people around the league view the Saints' potential? Finally, Mario and Erin have some fun with a comparison that might sound crazy at first: could the 2026 Saints become this year's version of the 2025 Patriots? New England entered last season as a long shot before dramatically outperforming expectations, and with the Saints sitting at +3500 to win the NFC, is there a path for New Orleans to become one of the NFL's biggest surprise teams? Plus, Justin Reid explains why Cam Jordan's return is "huge for the culture" of the organization, why Jordan's leadership remains invaluable, and which young defensive linemen need to emerge if the Saints are going to exceed expectations this season.

We also dive into key additions like defensive tackle Christen Miller and tight end Oscar Delp out of Georgia, and why the Saints may be leaning on SEC-ready talent to stabilize both sides of the ball. Also, we hit on mid-to-late round picks including Jeremiah Wright, Bryce Lance, Lorenzo Styles Jr., Barion Brown, and TJ Hall—focusing on development, depth, and wanting to be SPECIAL on special teams. We also touch on: How this draft reflects the Saints' current roster needs The emphasis on speed and explosiveness at wide receiver Special teams value and whether players like Styles Jr. can follow the path of past Saints standouts What realistic expectations should be for this rookie class in 2026 https://x.com/Mario_E_Jerez https://www.facebook.com/mario.jerez.39 https://www.instagram.com/mjerez3/ https://www.staatalent.com/client/mario-jerez/?_gl=14isseb_gaMTIwNzAxOTk5Ni4xNzY0Njk3MDA1_ga_MPW0LSJE88*czE3Nzc0NjkwNDEkbzQkZzEkdDE3Nzc0NjkxODAkajUyJGwwJGgw Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bucky Brooks is joined by former Ohio State linebacker and NBC Sports analyst Joshua Perry to break down top NFL Draft prospects. The conversation centers on quarterback Fernando Mendoza, debating whether he's a true franchise-changing talent or more of a system-dependent game manager who thrives in a run-heavy offense. They discuss the importance of fit, personality, and how Mendoza's game translates to the NFL. The duo also dives into Ohio State standouts, including linebackers Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles, , and safety Caleb Downs, praised for his football IQ and leadership. Wide receiver Carnell Tate is projected as a future impact player, though likely starting as a No. 2 option in the NFL. They also touch on Michigan edge rusher Derrick Moore's power-based pass rush concerns and Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson as an explosive, under-the-radar playmaker with home-run ability.
