We may not have as grandiose a history as some NFL teams, but there are scores of memories the New Orleans Saints have given to their fans and I have done my best to record them here at New Orleans Saints History.
One of the better Free Agent Signings of the Mike Ditka years, the #8 Best Free Agent Signing in Saints History – Offensive Lineman Jerry Fontenot.
Dick Nolan was the first New Orleans Saints head coach to not have a losing season. In 1979 the Saints went 8-8 and narrowly missed the playoffs that year.
A short video from NFL Films highlighting the play of New Orleans Saints wide receiver Danny Abramowicz while producer Ed Sabol lends comments.
A picture of Hall of Fame Linebacker and Leader of the Dome Patrol Ricky Jackson from his 1988 4-sack game against the Detroit Lions.
Saints action from the 1972 NFL season. Howard Cosell highlights the New Orleans Saints 19-16 upset over the Los Angeles Rams at Tulane Stadium. Saints kicker Happy Feller kicked a 33-yard winning field goal with 6 seconds left. Quarterback Archie Manning ran for a score and threw another in the victory as well.
We continue with Allen Ulrich’s Top 10 Worst Free Agent signings. Now, the #7 pick – Offensive Lineman Wally Williams who played for the Saints from 1999 to 2002.
