Most pleasant Saints surprise? Most pressing concern? Let's dig in.

Good morning and welcome to the June 22 edition of the Saints Insider newsletter. Lots of stuff to get through today, so let's get after it.

Survey says: 

The Saints Insider crew put our heads together for a roundtable discussion on some of the biggest questions the Saints face with a little more than a month remaining before the start of training camp. 

We get into the big topics with Part 1 of this discussion: Biggest surprise, most pressing concern and under the radar players who impressed during the initial phase of the offseason. 

Be on the lookout for Part 2, which will be on the site later this weekend. 

Battle(s) Royale

This will be a good one to keep handy for when training camp does roll back around: My colleague Matthew Paras takes a look at the Saints' current roster battles, and tries to pick out who is in the lead at the moment. 

There are some really interesting ones in here, including at least one incumbent starter trying to hold off a couple free agent signees. 

NOLA through and through

The Saints made former Brother Martin and Tulane star Roderic Teamer's dream come true earlier this week when they signed him to a one-year deal after his impressive tryout. 

Here's what Teamer told our columnist, Rod Walker: “I think about how I've been going to Saints games for as long as I can remember, just going to the Dome with my dad and my uncles and always being a Saints fan. Then just walking through these halls and seeing the pictures of everybody I grew up idolizing hanging on the walls in here."

The Saints players and coaches may be enjoying some vacation time at exotic locales right about now, but know we'll have plenty more coverage on the team looking ahead to the 2024 season in the weeks to come.

You can also check out our Youtube channel for the latest editions of the Saints Insider podcast (which is also available on Apple and Spotify). We just recorded a fun episode yesterday taking a stab at some statistical over/unders. 

Enjoy your weekend! 

Cheers, 

Luke Johnson
