Bucs NFC South Rival Predicted to Sign Six-Time Pro Bowl Wide Receiver

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are once again poised to rule the NFC South and will try for a fifth straight division title in 2025 and sixth consecutive playoff appearance.

The rival Atlanta Falcons made additions through last week's NFL Draft that could help the team in the long run, but still have question marks at quarterback.

Another South rival that is trying to improve is the New Orleans Saints.

New Orleans finished 5-12 last season and missed the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. New head coach Kellen Moore hopes to turn the offense around, but will have his work cut out for him with a quarterback room in turmoil as Derek Carr could be lost for the season after a shoulder injury.

General manager Mickey Loomis took former Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough in the second round, but he hardly seems ready to lead an NFL franchise early on.

That's why the notion that the Saints could sign six-time Pro Bowl wideout Keenan Allen seems ridiculous. But here we are.

SaintsWire's Luke Loffredo offered that possibility, adding Allen to a room that just added Brandin Cooks back into the fold in New Orleans.

"Going unaddressed during the draft, receiver could seem like a glaring need at the moment," Loffredo said. "With the top three guys at the position being Olave, Shaheed, and Cooks, the team still lacks the possession guy that was once the great Michael Thomas. Keenan Allen could be a potential option in free agency, but a one-year rental just doesn’t make sense for this team right now."

The Saints have a lot more roster holes than wideout right now, and Loomis should be looking for a solution under center unless he believes Shough or Desmond Ridder could be the answer.

And that hardly seems likely.
