| Welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Tuesday, May 17. • Was Drew Brees being serious about returning to the NFL? It doesn’t sound like the Saints are betting on it. Read what Dennis Allen had to say Monday on the matter. • In other football-and-TV news, Brees’ old coach, Sean Payton, got the network deal he was looking for, signing on with Fox. • How long has it been since the NFL had an Irish-born player? Since 1985. Here’s the story of a Saints longshot who’s trying to break the streak. • Plenty of local football fans were thrilled to see Jarvis Landry and Tyrann Mathieu come home. Mickey Loomis saw a 'different level of emotion' when they signed. • Landry’s return to Louisiana is "a special time. As a kid growing up, being from Louisiana, you always want to play for your hometown team." • If Week 1 NFL betting odds weren’t enough to get you going, take heart: Spreads are out for every NFL Week 2 game, including Saints-Buccaneers.
