Saints looking to make strong impact heading into offseason.

One thing head coach Dennis Allen said he has to take a closer look at is his aging roster, as he believes that the veteran presence is helpful, but is still looking to add some youth to the table.
”I think we certainly need to still add some young pieces to our roster,” Allen said. “I think there’s a good veteran presence here. I think there’s some veteran players that can still perform at a high level.”
“As you do every year, we’ll look at ways in which we can do that. I think we also need to incorporate some more youth and talent on our team.”
In terms of Allen’s future in New Orleans, he anticipates returning, but heading into the 2024 campaign, adjustments are undoubtedly anticipated.
The 2024 NFL Draft is the Saints’ next big event. With their current 14th pick in the draft, the front office will undoubtedly be the focus of attention leading up to the draft and free agency.
