The New Orleans Saints, for the second straight year and the third time in their past four seasons, failed to make the playoffs in 2015. That led to plenty of speculation that the team might move on from head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, but they'll both return to lead the Saints in 2016.
In fact, Payton signed a five-year contract extension in March, a firm vote of confidence in him from the organization.
Outside of that move, the Saints have been fairly quiet this offseason, signing tight end Coby Fleener, kicker Josh Scobee and linebackers James Laurinaitis, Nate Stupar and Craig Robertson while releasing long-time wide receiver Marques Colston and Pro Bowl guard Jahri Evans.
