<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-etienne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Etienne</a></strong> hasn’t stopped making headlines since his arrival to the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong>. First, he corrected everyone on how his last name is pronounced. Now, he is setting big-time expectations alongside quarterback <strong>Tyler Shough</strong>.</p>



<p>Speaking to the press, Etienne said, <em>“<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyler-shough" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyler</a>, he’s a great person, talking with him and being with him last night, <strong>you can sense the hunger, you can sense that he wants it for the city as well</strong>.” </em>Now, the Super Bowl is everybody’s dream, though the Saints have still ways to go before that.</p>



<p>Etienne said that watching Shough improve down the stretch was a key factor to sign with his hometown team. He said it “<em>definitely was a factor</em>.” <strong>However, going back to his hometown was the primary motivation.</strong></p>



<h2>Shough was the rookie with most wins at the QB position</h2>



<p><strong>Shough had more wins than Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a>, and Dillon Gabriel</strong>. However, while he impressed more than anyone thought, there are still some doubts around what he can produce long term.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/15153315/tyler-shough-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints" class="wp-image-598714"><figcaption>Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shough had a 5-4 record, <strong>completing 67.6% of his passes for 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns, and six interceptions</strong>. He became very effective under the Kellen Moore scheme. Now, he must avoid the feared sophomore slump.</p>

<h2>The NFC South is there for the taking</h2>



<p>The NFC South was won by the Panthers last year with an 8-9 record. The Buccaneers also finished 8-9 and their head coach is on the hot seat. Hence, if the Saints keep improving, they might be able to return to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Playoffs.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints</a></strong> have brought five new faces to their roster during the start of free agency, with running back <strong>Travis Etienne</strong> being the most prominent one. However, head coach <strong>Kellen Moore</strong> said all players have one thing in common.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/saints-hc-kellen-moore-declines-to-answer-if-alvin-kamara-is-considering-retirement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">While Kellen Moore didn’t speak on Alvin Kamara’s future</a>, the message for the new faces coming in is clear now. According to Moore,<em>“<strong>I think if there’s a theme, a bunch of high-character guys, guys that we love in this locker room</strong>, that are going to be great teammates, great people in this community, and obviously we certainly recognize the ability for them to perform on the field. It’ll be a lot of fun</em>.”</p>



<p>And the Saints really need those kinds of guys. After a dreadful start to the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, they started to show character and glimpses of a good future down the stretch. Hence, <strong>bringing more productive, high-character guys could boost this team to new heights</strong>.</p>



<h2>Etienne is coming off a career-resurgence year</h2>



<p>After having two 1,000-yard seasons, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-etienne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Etienne</a>‘s third year in the NFL was very worrisome. He basically cut his production in half and had only two touchdowns. It was not a great look. However, <strong>with the arrival of Liam Coen as the Jaguars head coach, Etienne was once again a deadly threat</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">PSA: Travis Etienne Jr. on how to pronounce his last name <a href="https://t.co/UNfFdXcrCg">pic.twitter.com/UNfFdXcrCg</a></p>— New Orleans Saints (@Saints) <a href="https://twitter.com/Saints/status/2032475148389961781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 13, 2026</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>He resurfaced as a top-tier back with 1,399 scrimmage yards and a career-high 13 total touchdowns</strong>. Now, the Saints get a young, dual-threat back to keep the production going. After Alvin Kamara, having Etienne means the playbook basically remains the same.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/saints-updated-rb-depth-chart-with-travis-etienne-joining-alvin-kamara-in-2026"></div>


<h2>Etienne might be the best thing to happen to Tyler Shough</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyler-shough" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyler Shough</a> overcame expectations last year. No one had really much to hope for with Shough. However, he started nine games and had a 5-4 record, <strong>completing 67.6% of his passes for 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.</strong> </p>



<p>Still, Shough needs help. He doesn’t have the best arm and he wants to take care of the ball. Hence, having a weapon that can catch passes from the backfield is just a gift from heaven. Also,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kellen-moore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kellen Moore</a> is a highly effective playcaller, so he can easily draw some productive plays for the two</strong>.</p>

Kellen Moore reveals Saints' free agency approach after bringing in Travis Etienne - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kellen-moore">Kellen Moore</a></strong> and the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong> are dealing with an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/saints-updated-rb-depth-chart-with-travis-etienne-joining-alvin-kamara-in-2026">updated depth chart after Travis Etienne joined <strong>Alvin Kamara</strong></a> for the 2026 <strong>NFL</strong> season. However, the head coach has now raised concerns about Kamara’s future, as retirement may be in consideration.</p>



<p><em>“Uhhh, <strong>I’m not going to get into all of that stuff</strong>. I haven’t had those conversations, anyways,” </em>Kellen Moore admitted during a press conference when asked about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alvin-kamara">Alvin Kamara</a> possibly eyeing retirement, via<em> @UnderdogNFL </em>on X. </p>



<p>Kamara is signed to a contract through the 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. If the running back and organization both want to make it happen, Kamara can stay with the Saints for another year, though sharing the backfield with Etienne. </p>



<p>However, the latest half-back addition may signal <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints">New Orleans</a> is steering in a different direction. Moore’s offense may not be big enough to accommodate both stars. Perhaps, <strong>there’s a new sheriff in “The Big Easy”</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/12143609/alvin-kamara-travis-etienne-1920x1080.webp" alt="Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne&apos;s 2025 stats" class="wp-image-596930"><figcaption>Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne’s 2025 stats (Image made with AI)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Etienne’s signing could spell trouble for Kamara</h2>



<p>Signing Etienne to a <strong>four-year, $52 million contract</strong> allowed the Saints to breathe a sigh of relief. However—unless Kamara made it known he’s considered stepping away from the NFL—it also puts Kamara on notice.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/best-new-orleans-saints-players-of-all-time"></div>


<p>Etienne may not be as threatening as Kamara is on a receiving back role, but he can still make magic happen. Moreover, <strong>Etienne is younger, faster, and—most importantly—less injury-prone</strong> than Kamara. So far in his four-season career, Etienne has only missed two games. </p>



<p>As for Kamara, injuries have caused him to miss 23 regular season games. Kamara only managed to stay healthy through his rookie season (2017). Since, <strong>he’s missed at least one game every year</strong>. It’s not like “AK41” has dealt with a recurring issue, either. Instead, he has come down with several, different injuries, such as concussions, knee and ankle sprains, and rib fractures, per <em>Sportskeeda</em>.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a></strong> have experienced a departure that will be difficult to replace, leaving a void within the team. Running back <strong>Travis Etienne</strong> joined the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong> ahead of the upcoming <strong>NFL </strong>season, and his closest teammate, quarterback <strong>Trevor Lawrence</strong>, sent him a farewell message.</p>



<p>Etienne made the decision to leave the Jaguars after five seasons, embracing a new chapter of his NFL career. He headed to the New Orleans Saints<strong> after they signed him to a four-year deal worth up to $52 million</strong>, boosting the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/saints-updated-rb-depth-chart-with-travis-etienne-joining-alvin-kamara-in-2026">Saints’ RB depth chart—which already includes Alvin Kamara</a>.</p>



<p>Lawrence shared his thoughts on the news through social media, as NFL insider Adam Schefter revealed. <em><strong>“We’ve come a long way!! Going to miss you man. Been a hell of an 8 year run. Best is yet to come,”</strong></em> Lawrence wrote.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence">Lawrence</a> and Etienne were teammates throughout their entire college careers at Clemson Tigers football<strong> from 2018 to 2020 before entering the NFL in 2021</strong>. They later played together as full-time starters for four straight seasons, helping the Jaguars reach the playoffs twice during that span. Both players emerged as key figures during those years, developing strong chemistry as an offensive duo.</p>

<p></p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-etienne">Etienne</a> leaves behind a significant gap in the Jaguars’ running back unit after serving as the full-time starter from 2021 to 2025. This past season, he started in all but one game, recording<strong> 260 rushes for 1,107 yards and seven touchdowns,</strong> while also adding 36 receptions for 292 yards and six touchdowns.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints">New Orleans Saints</a> are making their intentions for the 2026 <strong>NFL</strong> season clear. After an exciting rookie season from quarterback Tyler Shough, the Saints are building around him. The latest signing of <strong>Travis Etienne Jr</strong>. to share the backfield with <strong>Alvin Kamara</strong> is only further evidence.</p>



<p>As insider Jordan Schultz reported, the Saints have signed Travis Etienne Jr, who became a free agent after his stint with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a>. Etienne Jr. is now joining Kamara and company on a New Orleans team that is eyeing the next step in its rebuild.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-etienne">Etienne</a> is now joining a running back room in NOLA that features <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alvin-kamara">Alvin Kamara</a>, Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, and Audric Estime, via <em>ESPN</em>. <strong>At least one of them will have to make way</strong> for Etienne Jr when the 2026 NFL season gets underway.</p>



<h2>Jaguars depth chart at RB</h2>



<p>As for the Jaguars, in less than a year they have <strong>parted ways with what many expected to be their one-two punch</strong> for a long time. Trading Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles last season and letting Etienne walk as an unrestricted free agent before the 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> campaign, Liam Coen will be commanding a very different half back’s room.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/09142725/alvin-kamara-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-594790"><figcaption>Alvin Kamara #41 of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



<p>As listed on <em>ESPN</em>, the Jaguars’ <strong>running back options feature Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen Jr., and DeeJay Dallas</strong>. Based on where it currently stands, Jacksonville could be a name to watch in the HB market both during free agency and in the upcoming NFL Draft.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/best-new-orleans-saints-players-of-all-time"></div>


<h2>Etienne Jr. contract details</h2>



<p>According to Adam Schefter, the Saints have <strong>handed Etienne Jr. a four-year contract worth $52 million.</strong> Thus, Etienne is set to make an average of $13 million per season. Etienne could prove crucial for New Orleans, who last year witnessed an injury bug deplete its running back room, watching Kamara, Miller, and Neal all go down. </p>



<p>Moreover, Travis Etienne is now joining the NFC South, <strong>where his younger brother, Trevor Etienne, plays for the Carolina Panthers</strong>. The Etienne household may need to start making reservations as the siblings will face each other twice during the 2026 campaign.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyler-shough" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyler Shough</a></strong> and the offense have the task to produce for the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong>. Now more than ever, since one key defensive player who has been a former All Pro will no longer be on the team, hence the offense must be better as the defensive form will decline.</p>



<p>After 15 seasons repping the Saints jersey, <strong>8x Pro Bowler and former first-team All Pro defensive end, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameron-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cameron Jordan</a>, will be a free agent</strong>, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 36-year-old has been a leader of this team and has also been the most reliable defensive force on the team for more than a decade.</p>



<p>Tyler Shough showed glimpses of talent, yet the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saints</a> didn’t have what one would call a great offense. Now, <strong>the unit will be under duress, since the defense is less likely to give room for error</strong>. Shough will also have to be less mistake-prone when playing.</p>



<h2>Cameron Jordan is old but gold, cheaper than Maxx Crosby</h2>



<p>Despite being a veteran already, <strong>Cameron Jordan has nothing to envy in regards of other pass-rushers on the market</strong>. For instance, the biggest pass-rusher that could move is Maxx Crosby. Well, Jordan has an argument to say his 2025 season was better than Crosby’s. You can see their stats in the infographic below.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/05160154/cam-jordan-vs-maxx-crosby-1920x1080.webp" alt="Cam Jordan has arguably better stats than Maxx Crosby in the 2025 NFL season" class="wp-image-592224"><figcaption>Cam Jordan has arguably better stats than Maxx Crosby in the 2025 NFL season</figcaption></figure>



<p>As Jordan said it himself, <strong>he is not asking for “<em>top dollar</em>” paychecks, he just wants to <em>“be valued</em>.” </strong>More than one team should look at him and give him a decent contract to elevate its pass rush. Especially a contender, Jordan brings elite experience and high football IQ, joined by great production. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/raiders-reportedly-set-final-asking-price-for-maxx-crosby-amid-growing-trade-rumors"></div>


<h2>Jordan provides more than just a pass rush</h2>



<p>While Jordan’s primary goal would be to get to opposing quarterbacks, <strong>bringing a leader of men like him is what any team dreams of, especially at a premium pricetag</strong>. Jordan is a very well-respected name in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, and he just had his best season since his Pro Bowl campaign in 2022.</p>



<p>Jordan has never won a Super Bowl, but <strong>with 132 career-sacks, he will finally leave the Saints in search of that all-elusive ring</strong>. Bear in mind, a Super Bowl with him being a prominent force would put him in Hall of Fame conversations, so whoever signs him will get a motivated guy, not a journeyman.</p>

<p>One of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>‘s best deep threats is on the market now that <strong>Darnell Mooney</strong> parted ways with the <strong>Atlanta Falcons</strong>. Hence, he will be a coveted free agent and among the teams who could look for the wideout’s services, the <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong> make a lot of sense.</p>



<p>Darnell Mooney played two seasons with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Falcons</a> and <strong>he recorded 1,435 yards and six touchdowns</strong>. He also had 96 receptions for the team. During his six years in the NFL, Mooney has averaged 13+ yards per catch four times.</p>



<p><strong>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> need a deep threat, and Mooney is four years younger than Tyreek Hill, for instance</strong>. Mooney is a very solid player, and while not a bonafide star, Patrick Mahomes could do wonders with Mooney. It would allow the quarterback to launch his throws downfield with purpose.</p>



<h2>Other teams on the lookout could be…</h2>



<p>New Orleans lost Rashid Shaheed on the trade deadline last season, and the Saints ended on a high note. However, <strong>the Saints do need to bring someone that can be that speedy guy to not become predictable</strong>. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyler-shough" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyler Shough</a> is not one to have an arm to launch it down, but Mooney is still great outside numbers.</p>

<p>Recently, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/derek-carr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Derek Carr</a></strong> revealed his <strong>desire to return</strong> to the <strong>NFL </strong>— but <strong>only to join a Super Bowl contender</strong>. The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints</a></strong> still hold his rights, and the franchise has delivered some <strong>tough news regarding his potential comeback</strong>.</p>



<p>Prior to the 2025 NFL season, Carr informed the Saints that he would retire from football. A few months later, the <strong>veteran quarterback appears eager to return</strong>, but only if a <strong>legitimate <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> contender shows interest</strong>.</p>



<p>However, there is bad news for the signal-caller. According to Mike Florio of NBC, <strong>not only have the Saints not received an offer from a contender</strong>, they <strong>have not received any offer at all</strong> to acquire Carr’s rights.</p>



<h2>Derek Carr may have to lower his standards</h2>



<p>During this offseason, Carr has repeatedly stated that he <strong>wants another chance to win a Super Bowl</strong>. However, that <strong>opportunity may not come as a starting quarterback</strong>, as he likely hopes.</p>



<p>At the moment, <strong>true Super Bowl contenders do not have pressing needs at quarterback</strong> — which is part of the reason they are contenders. On top of that, Carr has not played in over a year, and his last season was far from his best.</p>



<p>As things stand, Carr seems to have <strong>three options</strong>: <strong>remain retired, join a Super Bowl contender as a backup</strong>, or <strong>sign with a team that has potential</strong> and attempt to <strong>turn it into a contender</strong> with his arrival.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-quarterbacks-with-the-most-passing-yards-in-a-single-season"></div>


<p>Following news of his possible return, rumors linked him to multiple teams. Some reports even suggested <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/aaron-rodgers-may-not-have-clear-runway-to-vikings-as-unexpected-veteran-qb-eyes-nfl-return" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he could have competed with Aaron Rodgers for a spot with the Minnesota Vikings</a></strong>. However, it now appears that teams are either not interested or unwilling to offer him the role he expects.</p>



<h2>Derek Carr needs the Saints’ help</h2>



<p>When Carr informed the Saints of his retirement decision, the NFC South franchise placed him on the <strong>reserve/retired list</strong>. That designation means <strong>New Orleans still holds his rights</strong>, and any interested team must negotiate with the Saints to acquire him.</p>



<p>One <strong>possible reason no team has inquired</strong> about Carr is the <strong>potential cost</strong>. Franchises may be unwilling to surrender a draft pick or player in exchange for a quarterback coming out of retirement.</p>



<p>For that reason, <strong>Carr may need to approach the Saints’ front office</strong> to <strong>explore the possibility of a release</strong>, which would clear a simpler path for him to sign with any team willing to take a chance on his comeback.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> is an insatiable machine. It looks to expand its frontiers to a global scale and it appears like another country will see the benefits of it.

<p>According to RMC Sport, a French news outlet, <strong>the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Browns</a> will play the Saints on October 25 at Stade de France</strong>.

<p>This is good for business, but it might not be great for teams. After all, <strong>teams not always get a bye week post international games, and that takes a toll on them</strong>. Hence, it’s both good for business, but bad for the teams’ stamina.</p>

<h2>The Saints have deep business in France</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saints</a> have held NFL marketing rights in France since all the way back to 2023. <strong>The team has actively built ties in the country</strong>. That includes a partnership with the Paris Musketeers that play in the European League of Football.</p>



<p>Back in November, 2025, players, coaches, and executives from the Musketeers visited New Orleans. <strong>The NOLA area has deep French roots</strong>. The city was founded by French people in 1718, so there are roots in the culture, culinary, and historical elements of the city.</p>

<p>Mercedes-Benz Stadium set the stage for one of the most electrifying games of Week 18, as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints">New Orleans Saints</a></strong> and <strong>Atlanta Falcons</strong> put on a spectacular show. The matchup ultimately decided who would claim the NFC South, between the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong> and the <strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Falcons’ 19-17 victory was celebrated all the more in Carolina</strong>, as it ensured that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers">Panthers</a> finally took the division. As a result, Bryce Young and his squad will face the No. 5 seed in the playoffs.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Baker Mayfield will have to wait another year to make the playoffs</strong>. A string of four painful losses down the stretch kept the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers">Buccaneers</a> out of a Wild Card spot.</p>



<h2>NFC South final standings after Week 18</h2>



<p>Saturday night’s loss for the Panthers in Tampa Bay could have sealed the fate of Dave Canales and his players. However, relief came from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons">Atlanta</a>, where the home team defeated the Saints, <strong>ultimately handing the Panthers the top spot in the NFC South.</strong></p>

<h2>Why the Panthers claimed the division</h2>



<p>The Carolina Panthers clinched the NFC South <strong>thanks to a specific NFL tiebreaker rule for three-way ties.</strong> While the Buccaneers held the advantage over the Panthers in a two-way tie (based on a better record against common opponents), <strong>the situation changed once the Atlanta Falcons also finished 8-9. </strong></p>



<p>In a three-way tie at the top of a division,<strong> the first tiebreaker is head-to-head win percentage among all tied teams</strong>. Because the Panthers swept the Falcons during the regular season, they finished with a superior 3-1 record in head-to-head matchups against Tampa Bay and Atlanta combined,<strong> handing them the division title and the No. 4 seed.</strong></p>



<h2>What’s next for the Panthers?</h2>



<p>After a dramatic turn of events on the final day of the 2025 season, the Carolina Panthers have officially clinched the NFC South title—their first since 2015. As the No. 4 seed, <strong>the Panthers will now host a home playoff game at Bank of America Stadium during Wild Card Weekend</strong>, where they are set to face either the San Francisco 49ers or the Los Angeles Rams.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints">New Orleans Saints</a></strong> had a terrible start to the 2025 season with a 2-10 record. In Kellen Moore’s first year as head coach, the franchise seemed destined to secure the No. 1 overall pick.</p>



<p>Moore gave Spencer Rattler the opportunity to be the starting quarterback in the first half of the schedule, and then Tyler Shough. That move led the Saints to win five of their last seven games in an impressive turnaround.</p>



<p>Although the New Orleans Saints are already eliminated, they will have the opportunity to determine who wins the NFC South when they face the Atlanta Falcons. The outcome of that game will confirm whether the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a></strong> or the Panthers make the playoffs.</p>



<h2>What happens if Saints lose to Falcons?</h2>



<p>If the Saints lose to the Falcons, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be officially eliminated, and the Carolina Panthers will be crowned NFC South champions. With this outcome, the Panthers would enter the playoffs as the No. 4 seed in the conference.</p>

<p>The Atlanta Falcons had high expectations for the 2025 season after an impressive rookie year from Michael Penix Jr. The young quarterback was chosen as the starter over <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirk-cousins">Kirk Cousins</a></strong> to lead an offense that included big names like Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts.</p>



<p>However, the results were disappointing. With a 4–9 record in Week 14, they were practically out of playoff contention, and many experts began to question the future of Raheem Morris as the team’s head coach. A franchise that dreamed of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> ended up in surprising mediocrity.</p>



<p>Suddenly, the players decided to stand up for Morris and his coaching staff on the field. The Falcons turned things around and achieved three consecutive wins after Penix got injured and Cousins took back the reins. This has given hope for 2026 and granted them a strange privilege in the NFC South: controlling the Panthers’ and Buccaneers’ path to the playoffs.</p>



<h2>What happens if Falcons lose today against Saints?</h2>



<p>If the Falcons lose today against the Saints, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be NFC South champions and would have their playoff berth secured. In this scenario, the Panthers would be eliminated. A tie would also give the divisional title to the Bucs.</p>

<p>Two <strong>NFL</strong> teams, already out of playoff contention, clash today in a matchup that fans are eager to witness, particularly to see <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-olave" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Olave</a></strong> take the field for the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong> against the <strong>Tennessee Titans</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Chris Olave has not yet confirmed if he will play for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saints</a> against the Titans in NFL Week 17, as he is currently listed as questionable</strong> on the team’s latest injury report. He is dealing with a back injury, but a report from <em>NFL insider Ian Rapoport</em> indicates that he <em>“should be full go with no restrictions on Sunday.”</em></p>



<p>Despite having little at stake apart from pride, the Saints aim to improve their standing in the regular season, standing at 5-10. With the potential addition of Olave on the field, <strong>they could pose a challenge to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titans</a> today.</strong></p>



<p>Meanwhile, the Titans, with a 3-12 record in the regular season, <strong>are looking to end this part of the season with a victory.</strong> Such an outcome could occur today against the Saints or possibly next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that has already secured a spot in the next round.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints</a></strong> quarterback/tight end/running back Taysom Hill’s future can be one of the biggest topics for the team in the 2025 NFL offseason. After suffering a season-ending torn ACL in 2024, many wondered what version of Hill would return to the field this year.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The veteran came back strong against the New York Jets in Week 16, showing that he can still get the job done. However, the question about his future remains in the air. <strong>Hill has been with the franchise since 2017,</strong> playing 111 games, going 195 of 308 for 2,426 yards and 12 touchdowns with nine interceptions.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On the ground, he has carried the ball 486 times for 2,551 yards and 34 touchdowns. Additionally, Hill has caught 107 passes for 1,002 yards and 11 touchdowns. <strong>His versatility </strong>has proven crucial for the Saints in recent years, and he isn’t seemingly planning to stop anytime soon.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Taysom Hill makes clear statement about future with Saints&nbsp;</h2>



<p>After the 29-6 win over the Jets on Sunday, where Hill went 1 of 1 for 38 yards and one touchdown, to go along with 12 carries for 42 yards, the veteran made it clear <strong>he isn’t planning to play for a different NFL team.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>“I have so much love for the city of New Orleans and this fan base and the way that they’ve embraced me and my family. It’s been really special,</em></strong>” Hill said, via ESPN’s Katherine Terrell<em>. “So I wouldn’t want to play somewhere else, but there’s a lot of circumstances that are out of your control too, right? And I understand the nature of this business and I’m not thinking that way right now, but we’ll tackle that when we get there.”</em></p>



<p>The Saints (5-10)<strong> have two games left. </strong>They will clash against the Tennessee Titans (3-12) in Week 17, before closing out the season against the Atlanta Falcons (6-9).&nbsp;</p>


Taysom Hill doesn't hold back on future with Saints

Taysom Hill doesn't hold back on future with Saints - Bolavip US

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints"> New Orleans Saints</a> haven’t won many games this season, and, judging by their schedule, chances are that they’re not going to win another one after taking down the <strong>Carolina Panthers.</strong></p>



<p>Nevertheless, this season hasn’t been a complete waste in the Big Easy. If anything, Kellen Moore has gotten a chance to evaluate his rookie quarterback: <strong>Tyler Shough</strong>.</p>



<p>The rookie out of Louisville has been better than one might assume because of the team’s record. Moreover, he even broke one of<strong> Drew Brees</strong>‘ marks in the win over Carolina.</p>



<h2>Tyler Shough sets Saints rookie record</h2>



<p>“<strong><em>With 110 passing yards today through three quarters, Tyler Shough now has 1,322 passing yards in 2025, setting a new Saints single-season passing record by a rookie QB,</em></strong>” the Saints announced.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/30130813/tyler-shough-1920x1080.webp" alt="Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints" class="wp-image-518100" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure></div><figcaption>Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shough has been far from perfect, but he’s been better than the average rookie. Unfortunately for him, the market and his team’s record <strong>don’t do much to help his case.</strong></p>



<p>Even so, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to think that he should be the leading candidate to run away with <strong>Offensive Rookie of the Year </strong>honors, and the Saints may have found their guy.</p>
