<title>Saints sign former UFL and Falcons offensive lineman Barry Wesley</title>

<p>This is the second former UFL player New Orleans has signed this week.</p> <p id="VNjfX3">The <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a> have added some more depth to the offensive line by signing Birmingham Stallions tackle Barry Wesley. Wesley played college football at Colorado State and has had stints with the Massachusetts Pirates of the Indoor Football League as well as the Seattle Sea Dragons of the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/xfl-football">XFL</a>. Wesley spent the 2023 season and 2024 preseason as a member of the <a href="https://www.thefalcoholic.com/">Atlanta Falcons</a> practice squad before ultimately joining the Stallions ahead of the 2025 UFL season.</p>
<p id="T5Mkx1">Wesley has good size at 6’7” and 310 pounds and has experience playing at both guard and tackle. Wesley is the second UFL player the Saints have brought in this week, so Head Coach Kellen Moore clearly thinks there are contributors to be found in the highest level minor league of professional football. Wesley will likely be competing for a spot on the practice squad with the potential to be activated to cover for a potential injury during the season. It will be interesting to see if either of the UFL players the Saints have brought in to camp are able to earn their way on to the practice squad in New Orleans, and perhaps even on to the active roster at some point.</p>

<title>Could Saints RB Alvin Kamara’s best football still be ahead?</title>
<content type="html">

<p>Kamara’s poised to put the league back on notice in New Orleans’ revamped offense.</p> <p id="d4deuP"><a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a> star RB Alvin Kamara appears to be flying under the radar ahead of his ninth NFL campaign, but the 29-year-old could be primed to reassert himself as one of the league’s most versatile weapons with new head coach Kellen Moore now in charge of play calling duties.</p>
<figure class="e-image">

<cite>Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images</cite>
</figure>
<p id="Vn4LiC">The narrative that Alvin Kamara is declining is one I still can’t fully wrap my head around. <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pff.com%2Fanalyst%2Ftrevor-sikkema&amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canalstreetchronicles.com%2F2025%2F6%2F19%2F24441415%2Fcould-saints-rb-alvin-kamaras-best-football-still-be-ahead" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Trevor Sikkema</a> of Pro Football Focus actually ranked Kamara 20th in his running back rankings ahead of the 2025 season. Kamara also finished the 2024 season with just an 85 overall rating on Madden NFL 25.</p>
<p id="GCNsXX">As the leading rusher in franchise history with 6,779 yards, Kamara came just 50 yards short of his first-ever 1,000-yard rushing season in 2024—proving he has a lot of good football left in the tank.</p>

<cite>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</cite>
</figure>
<p id="4uTzuG">Looking at new Saints head coach Kellen Moore’s track record, running backs clearly play a pivotal role in his offense. In Moore’s lone season as the offensive coordinator of the <a href="https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/">Philadelphia Eagles</a>, All-Pro RB Saquon Barkley rushed for a career-high 2,005 yards, 5.8 yards per carry and 13 touchdowns in 2024 while being named the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year.</p>
<p id="8QkCit">During Moore’s time as OC of the <a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/">Dallas Cowboys</a> from 2019 to 2022, Moore helped former <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-pro-bowl">Pro Bowl</a> RB Ezekiel Elliott post two 1,000-yard rushing seasons and find the end zone 40 times over that four year span.</p>
<figure class="e-image">
<img alt="NFL: New Orleans Saints at New York Giants" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/zVdBDeKk_OPN225upwcQYFJQ_7g=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/26029409/usa_today_24941781.jpg">
<cite>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</cite>
</figure>
<p id="HbPGJx">Over the last three seasons, Alvin Kamara leads all NFL running backs in targets (252), receptions (200), and receiving yards (1,499), per <a href="https://x.com/The33rdTeamFB/status/1932496977599648237">The 33rd Team</a>. Kamara’s versatility puts him in rare company—just three running backs in NFL history have gained 5,000 or more yards both rushing and receiving: Marcus Allen, Marshall Faulk and Tiki Barber. Kamara is just 238 receiving yards shy of joining that elite group of ball carriers.</p>
<p id="2SJeGa">However, running backs have typically seen a drop in their receiving production under Kellen Moore’s offense. According to PFF’s <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pff.com%2Fanalyst%2Fnathan-jahnke&amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canalstreetchronicles.com%2F2025%2F6%2F19%2F24441415%2Fcould-saints-rb-alvin-kamaras-best-football-still-be-ahead" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Nathan Jahnke</a>, Saquon Barkley consistently posted a target share of at least 17.7% during each of his six seasons with the <a href="about:blank">New York Giants</a>, but that dipped to 13.8% after joining Moore in Philadelphia. Similarly, Austin Ekeler averaged just 1.25 yards per route run in his lone season under Moore with the <a href="https://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/">Los Angeles Chargers</a> in 2023—the lowest mark of his career. And in Dallas, Ezekiel Elliott’s efficiency as a pass catcher also declined. His yards per route run—which had consistently been over 1.0 before Moore began calling plays—fell below that threshold during Moore’s tenure, only to rebound back to 1.0 the year after Moore left for LA.</p>
<p id="HH8Z9X">While Kellen Moore hasn’t historically emphasized utilizing running backs in the passing game, he’s made it clear this offseason that he plans to let his players play to their strengths. That could benefit Kamara, even though the numbers from Moore’s previous offenses show a different trend in the passing game. </p>
<p id="SZNBEW">Moore on Kamara:</p>
<h3 id="2in1is"><strong>“He is one of the premiere players in this league and we want to utilize every aspect of that. His mental capacity is really high, and he understands football. It will be fun... He will be a big part of this.”</strong></h3>
<figure class="e-image">
<img alt="NFL: Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/panpuiFn6xMfrZQW9wMlPwAml70=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25635930/usa_today_24300661.jpg">
<cite>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</cite>
</figure>
<p id="uzpFr0">It’s also important to note that despite injuries across the offensive line last season, the Saints’ front five was still one of the best when it came to run blocking, clocking a top-10 RBK grade from PFF in 2024. With the addition of first-round <a href="about:blank">NFL Draft</a> pick Kelvin Banks Jr. and Trevor Penning’s transition inside, the OL could look even stronger in 2025. </p>
<p id="IdBLll">Meanwhile, Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy—the heart and soul of the Saints’ offensive line—missed 10 games after suffering a groin injury just three plays into Week 3’s matchup against the Eagles, yet still posted a 94.6 run-blocking grade from PFF. If McCoy stays healthy, the run game should take a clear step forward.</p>
<p id="4lpoq3">That said, I have high hopes for Kamara in 2025 as both a rusher and receiver—now the question is, who will back him up amid a crowded RB room?</p>

<title>Bauer: Predicting the Saints’ wins and losses once the season has concluded</title>

<p>New Orleans 2025 season could be better than you think.</p> <p id="SJmnaj">OTAs and mandatory minicamp are now in the books for the <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a>. So, while in the calm before the storm of training camp, I thought I’d do a record prediction for the 2025 season:</p>
<h5 id="3nJrei">Week one vs. Cardinals: W</h5>
<h5 id="IMB3Rt">Week two vs. 49ers: L</h5>
<h5 id="JF8SWy">Week three @ Seahawks: W</h5>
<h5 id="x9b8AL">Week four @ Bills: L</h5>
<h5 id="QLoXqk">Week five vs. Giants: W</h5>
<h5 id="7kYZ5D">Week six vs. Patriots: L</h5>
<h5 id="3SEggB">Week seven @ Bears: L</h5>
<h5 id="JaGGJr">Week eight vs. Buccaneers: W</h5>
<h5 id="68Ic7a">Week nine @ Rams: L</h5>
<h5 id="IEkU5y">Week 10 @ Panthers: W</h5>
<h5 id="r0rgZN">Week 11 vs. Falcons: W</h5>
<h5 id="pu78V7">Week 12 @ Dolphins: L</h5>
<h5 id="lY6L3K">Week 13 @ Buccaneers: L</h5>
<h5 id="Fz5mBQ">Week 14 vs. Panthers: W</h5>
<h5 id="9hYNKB">Week 15 vs. Jets: W</h5>
<h5 id="Dg5WlC">Week 16 @ Titans: W</h5>
<h5 id="hLaOV0">Week 17 @ Falcons: L</h5>
<h5 id="quPdqs"><strong>Final record: 9-8</strong></h5>
<p id="5KGsBo">This might be a more optimistic look at the season than others, but my reasons are legitimate. For one, the offense seems to be meshing well together, earning chemistry on and off the field. The team has been able to build chemistry through various events, some of which were organized due to cancelled practices.</p>
<p id="dVdn70">Coach Kellen Moore would suggest that's the whole point.</p>
<p id="WHiC2X">“It’s really important to build on a solid foundation. That foundation is really built around people first and foremost.” Moore <a href="https://youtu.be/5rPubV2VRuk?si=glmAeQPZbRifIGEu&amp;t=45">said at the end of minicamp</a>. “So, we certainly spent a lot of time trying to find different avenues and opportunities for all of us to connect and spend time.”</p>
<p id="U6J99l">Secondly, the team must feel relieved now that they can finally move past the Dennis Allen and Derek Carr era. The period during which arguments bubbled up from the locker room to the playing field was a severe misstep in continuing the legacy that Drew Brees and Sean Payton left behind. </p>
<p id="osswop">Luckily, it seems that new head coach Kellen Moore is trying to build some culture. That will undoubtedly lay the groundwork for meaningful connections between quarterbacks and receivers as the season begins.</p>
<p id="8tg69u">There is also no lack of a quarterback in New Orleans, that’s for sure. Both Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough have strutted their stuff in OTAs and minicamp, leaving wide receiver Chris Olave looking forward to the upcoming season.</p>
<p id="JYuHaz">“I don’t think they’re going to come in and have hiccups. I feel like they’ve got a good head on their shoulders, they’ve got a good IQ, and they’re ready to play NFL ball.” Olave <a href="https://youtu.be/_ncCloAh_Pk?si=_RX8KP-dodtv419q&amp;t=42">said when asked about the QBs</a>. “I’m excited for whoever to get that starting job. They’re both really good.”</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">After spending the past two seasons with the UFL Arlington Renegades, tight end Seth Green is signing with the New Orleans Saints, per his agent Warren Verrett III.</p>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1935321034959225336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 18, 2025</a>

<p id="lFtMIA">Green tried out for New Orleans during minicamp last week and agreed to a one-year deal on Wednesday.</p>
<p id="ZVwWJZ">At 6-foot-3, Green was a quarterback at the University of Minnesota before transferring to the University of Houston and switching to fullback and tight end. The 27-year-old played two seasons in the UFL.</p>
<p id="Q3YOtd">In 2024, Green had 11 receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown for the Arlington Renegades. The 27-year-old tight end improved his numbers in 2025 with 13 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown.</p>
<p id="jUGuCv">Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill, and Foster Moreau set the Saints' tight end rotation. Despite having solid starters, the team has a lack of experience down the board. New Orleans drafted tight end Moliki Matavao out of UCLA in the seventh round of the 2025 <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft">NFL Draft</a> and signed UDFA Dollin Holker in 2024. </p>
<p id="TaPTHz">With Taysom Hill’s injury, Green’s flexibility could be a solid substitute while the veteran Swiss-army knife recovers from a torn ACL. Similarly to Hill, Green had 388 rushing yards and 240 receiving yards in college and offers his quarterback background. </p>
<p id="mlTCN4">While Green may not be a lock to make the final 53-man roster, his versatility and Taysom Hill’s injury make his chances better.</p>

<p>Here’s how I see the 2025 season going for the Saints.</p> <p id="kHch5t">The <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a> enter the 2025 season with lowered expectations, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. They have a new head coach and staff, Derek Carr retired, and had what I thought was a very solid draft. </p>
<p id="VSUggP">Internally, their hopes are that they can this year’s <a href="https://www.hogshaven.com/">Washington Commanders</a>. Obviously, that’s pretty optimistic, especially when the national media has very low expectations for them, but they do have a chance to surprise some teams.</p>
<p id="8EcBdT">So, let’s take a look at my record prediction for the Saints this season:</p>
<h3 id="OM91Ka"><strong>Week 1 vs Cardinals - L</strong></h3>
<p id="PICOMV">The <a href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/">Arizona Cardinals</a> come to town for the season opener, and I have the Saints losing their first game of the Kellen Moore era. I think it’s definitely a winnable game and I know the Saints have been very good in openers recently, but I think it’ll take time for Kellen Moore and Brandon Staley’s systems to get rolling, so I’m saying the Saints start with a loss.</p>
<h3 id="G6uWEQ"><strong>Week 2 vs 49ers - L</strong></h3>
<p id="UJkjlg">I have the Saints dropping their Week 2 game to the <a href="https://www.ninersnation.com/">49ers</a> as well. San Fran isn’t the same team that went to the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> two years ago, but their roster is still levels above the Saints’, and I just don’t see Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler keeping up with Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and the rest of their offense.</p>
<h3 id="dF9GOJ"><strong>Week 3 at Seahawks - L</strong></h3>
<p id="x2bBaT">I have the Saints losing their third straight game to the <a href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seattle Seahawks</a> in Week 3. Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp form a really solid offense, and Seattle is an incredibly tough place to play.</p>
<h3 id="MXKcM8"><strong>Week 4 at Bills - L</strong></h3>
<p id="ZUNrpb">Josh Allen. Next.</p>
<h3 id="UmYx2b"><strong>Week 5 vs Giants - W</strong></h3>
<p id="9fprYy">The first win of the Kellen Moore era comes in Week 5 in the Superdome when the Saints take down the <a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/">New York Giants</a>. I don’t think the Russell Wilson experiment will last too long in New York, and the Saints have to get a win at some point, so why not now? The only thing that could wreck this is if the Saints’ OL is worse than anticipated and the Giants DL, which is very, very good, dominates.</p>
<h3 id="vKk8Ey"><strong>Week 6 vs Patriots - W</strong></h3>
<p id="hwzIuP">Another winnable home game for the Saints in week six turns into Moore’s second win as a head coach. The <a href="https://www.patspulpit.com/">New England Patriots</a> have a bright future with Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye, but I think they’re still a couple seasons away from getting back to being a playoff contender.</p>
<h3 id="U6qtn0"><strong>Week 7 at Bears - L</strong></h3>
<p id="EC8dEx">I’m really high on <a href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/">Chicago Bears</a> this year. Ben Johnson takes over, Caleb Williams at quarterback, a trio of really good receivers and a rookie tight end who will instantly be a top 10 player at his position. If their offensive line is just average, this offense will be really good.</p>
<h3 id="QpTlze"><strong>Week 8 vs Buccaneers - L</strong></h3>
<p id="9yJdjL">I love me some Baker Mayfield and even with their third offensive coordinator in as many years, I think he’ll be just fine. They have playmakers on offense and should have a really solid rushing attack with Bucky Irving, so I think the Bucs take this one.</p>
<h3 id="8LfaVu"><strong>Week 9 at Rams - L</strong></h3>
<p id="G5T0no">Another tough road game for the Saints. They have to travel to the west coast to play a really solid Rams team that always seems to have their number. I think Matthew Stafford shouldn’t have too tough of a time outdueling Rattler or Shough.</p>
<h3 id="qSAOjC"><strong>Week 10 at Panthers - W</strong></h3>
<p id="QTBr80">The Saints get back in the win column on the road at Carolina. I think Bryce Young and the Panthers offense took steps in the right direction and will be solid this year, but that defense is just horrible.</p>
<h3 id="KeSmSU"><strong>Week 12 vs Falcons - W</strong></h3>
<p id="KCroPz">Saints aren’t losing to the Dirty Birds twice in one year.</p>
<h3 id="rl2yUz"><strong>Week 13 at Dolphins - L</strong></h3>
<p id="EXfhff">I think this is a very winnable game for the Saints, but I’m always too optimistic with my predictions, so I’m taking the pessimist view this time around. Think it could be a close game, but I’ll give the nod to the more experience HC/QB duo.</p>
<h3 id="CMEr6l"><strong>Week 14 at Buccaneers - L</strong></h3>
<p id="XRvQLx">I already explained why I think the Bucs will beat them, and this game is on the road. I just don’t see them dethroning the NFC South champs this year.</p>
<h3 id="a3wfgv"><strong>Week 15 vs Panthers - W</strong></h3>
<p id="FdG5Dv">I think sweeping any division opponent this year will be tough, but if they’re going to do it to anyone, it’ll be the <a href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/">Carolina Panthers</a>.</p>
<h3 id="Am6Tv3"><strong>Week 16 vs Jets - L</strong></h3>
<p id="fXztR8">A lot of people will have this as a win, but I think the <a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a> have a good system in place to win this game. This could very well change with Brandon Staley, but the Saints really struggled against mobile QBs, and if Justin Fields is the starter at this point, I’m going to be pretty worried. I also don’t think their defense is half bad and I like their offensive playmakers.</p>
<h3 id="frUWqY"><strong>Week 17 at Titans - W</strong></h3>
<p id="WFRoRM">The <a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/">Tennessee Titans</a> and Saints are in similar spots. Both teams are rebuilding and drafted rookie quarterbacks that they really believe in, but I think the Saints’ roster is better even if the Titans have the advantage at QB.</p>
<h3 id="Yype86"><strong>Week 18 at Falcons - L</strong></h3>
<p id="jvbAmc">This hurts, but I think the <a href="https://www.thefalcoholic.com/">Atlanta Falcons</a> are good enough to not get swept by the Saints this year.</p>
