If there's a skill-position player NFL teams are all coveting in the top 10 of the NFL Draft, it's Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

2025/03/14

The New Orleans Saints are being mentioned as a possibility for Cooper Kupp, the big-name wide receiver who hit the market yesterday as a free agent. The former All-Pro would instantly increase the ceiling of the Saints' receiving corp, but he'd also be expensive — at least against the backdrop of the Saints' salary cap concerns — and is aging and injury prone. Our Saints Insiders — beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras and columnist Jeff Duncan — discuss the chances of Kupp landing in New
