Saints Expected to Add 1,233-Yard Playmaker to Kellen Moore’s Offense

What’s next for the New Orleans Saints?

The Saints made an impressive move on paper by hiring former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as their new head coach. Although the team had a tough 2024 season, there is still plenty of talent on the roster. With only five wins last year, optimism remains within the fanbase, especially when considering the numerous injuries the team faced throughout the season. Key players like Derek Carr, Chris Olave, Erik McCoy, Rashid Shaheed, and Alvin Kamara all dealt with injuries, among others.

With better health in 2025, the Saints are expected to perform significantly better, and Moore’s leadership could elevate the offense even further. The team also holds the No. 9 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, adding to the excitement about the future.

James Foster of The 33rd Team predicted that the Saints will select Penn State tight end Tyler Warren with that pick.

“Selection: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State,” Foster said. “New Orleans’ roster lacks young, foundational players after missing on several recent draft picks. Selecting Warren, one of the safest prospects in the class, would be a great way to break that cold streak. He’s a versatile Y tight end who dominates both as a receiver and in the run game.”

Although the Saints re-signed Juwan Johnson, it would be hard to pass on Warren if he’s available at No. 9. Warren had an outstanding 2024 season, recording 104 catches, 1,233 yards, and eight touchdowns. Adding such a weapon to Moore’s offense could help propel the team to new heights.
