Tyrann Mathieu, Demario Davis make the NFL 30 over 30 list
A group of NFL.com writers came together to compile and rank the league’s 30 best players over the age of 30, and both Demario Davis and Tyrann Mathieu represented the New Orleans Saints on that list. The veterans were only separated by three spots. Davis came in at No. 21 and Mathieu wasn’t far behind at No. 24. Davis has been a common appearance on rankings lately.

The Saints are spectacularly, monumentally, mind-bogglingly screwed
It’s difficult to say much about the NFL with certainty when training camps are just opening around the league, but one thing is abundantly clear: The Saints are screwed.
