| With Amie Just Welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Wednesday, Aug. 6. It's been a wild start to the week for the New Orleans Saints, and that continued on Tuesday with New Orleans native and former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu taking a visit with the New Orleans Saints. Mathieu talked with our LSU reporter, Wilson Alexander, about that visit and a lot more in a Q&A that y'all need to check out. In other news, backup quarterback Blake Bortles asked for his release on Tuesday, with that move coming after the team signed Andy Dalton last week. Monday was a busy day for New Orleans too, as the Saints' brain trust kicked off the afternoon with a huge trade of draft picks with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Saints, at least for now, have two first round picks inside the top 20 — something the franchise hasn't had in a single draft since 1993. The Saints have made plenty of other roster moves as well, signing both safety Justin Evans and defensive end Taco Charlton on Monday. Read up on all of that and a whole lot more in today's newsletter. Until next time, Amie Just |
