It was a bit of a surprise to learn that the New Orleans Saints will not be making major changes to their offensive coaching staff this offseason. Because of that decision, it’s fair to expect more of the same from 2022’s disappointing offensive attack. One that finished at the team’s worst scoring pace since 2005. In order for New Orleans to revitalize their offense, they will need one of two (ideally both) things. A new offensive approach with a clean and clear identity and a home run offseason. The former is going to be hard to feel confident about with no staff changes, so the latter has to be their key focus this summer.
If the Saints are gong to run it back with a similar but adjusted offensive approach than what they fielded in 2022, they have some major concerns to fill through free agency and the draft. Of course right at the top of the list will be quarterback. It is hard to see Jameis Winston returning to New Orleans next year, but outside of him there are no quarterbacks on the roster. The Saints could go out and pursue a big fish free agent, but there are not many to choose from.
