The Saints are seeing gold with prospective hire Klint Kubiak.
The Saints have continually swiped the credit card with a buy now and pay later mentality regarding the NFL salary cap. In a move that would make Dave Ramsey proud, the Saints most recently committed to the Ramen noodle diet by restructuring Derek Carr’s contract.
Where there is inflexibility with roster building, the Saints have plenty of agency in who they can hire for their coaching staff; enter Klint Kubiak.
Derek Carr was 37th in red zone accuracy in 2023. Klint Kubiak will deploy more motion as well as slither formations in the red zone to help manufacture passing game opportunity for running backs which is a perfect fit for Alvin Kamara. Sending skill position players in motion will also give more deceptive looks to free up alpha wide receiver Chris Olave. A fun sprinkle to all this that Kubiak did not have in San Francisco is being able to be creative with Swiss army knife Taysom Hill.
Expect more creativity for the New Orleans Saints going forward. Buy Saints skill position players in 2024.

The NFL has suspended Alvin Kamara 3-games for his role in an altercation in February. Kamara will miss games against the Titans, Panthers, and Packers.
Alvin Kamara will miss the first three games of the New Orleans Saints season. The suspension comes in at less than we thought, with the expected outcome to be 4-6 games lost. Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller will split the backfield early in the season.
Kamara led all running backs in % of snaps played across is 15 contests, a feat the Saints do not seem intent on repeating. Jamaal Williams was brought in on a 3-year, $12M deal to spell Kamara between-the-tackles and on the goalline. New Orleans then drafted Kendre Miller in the 3rd Round, with designs of him replacing Alvin Kamara in the long run.
If the GM who rosters Kendre Miller in Dynasty lowers the price at all due to the truncated suspension, now is the time to buy. The Saints can save over $11M in cap space by moving on from Kamara next summer.
