Saints' OTA Kickoff: Moore's System in Spotlight

0:00On April 6th, the NFL just dropped the New Orleans Saints' 2026 offseason schedule, kicking off April 20th with organized team, activities in late May and early June. Those OTAs hit May 27th through 28th, then June 1st, 3rd, 4th, 8th, and 10th through 11th. The mandatory minicam wraps it up. June 16th and 17th only two days instead of the usual three. This comes after a rough 6 and 11 finish last year, marking year two under head coach Kellen Moore as they chase an end to their five year. Playoff, dry spill. The Saints trim that minicam short to slot in a team building event, betting on culture over extra drills for a locker room shaking a big time. Fans are buzzing about whether two days is enough reps for a squad that loss vets like Demario Davis to the Jets and Alan Taitler to the Titans. While maybe waving goodbye to Cam Jordan, additions like running back Travis Etienne and Lyman David Edwards bring fresh juice, but chemistry is the real question mark.

1:04Now eyes turn to the OTA sessions for the first real looks at quarterback contenders. Zach Wilson and Tyler Show battling for spots plus a revamped. Secondary trying to gel before training camp heats up in July. Every practice counts for these Saints if they want to turn the page on those law seasons. Moore's trusting his system to deliver the wins that matter come fall. I'm Cory with the story and you've been listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage.
