Should Saints Have Kept Demario Davis? | Was This New Orleans Biggest Offseason Error?

After Further Review On Demand is powered by BREC Golf Matt Moscona reacts to ESPN's latest NFL executive rankings for linebackers and explains why they reinforce his belief that the New Orleans Saints made a costly mistake by allowing Demario Davis to leave in free agency. Moscona compares Davis' standing among the league's best linebackers to new Saints linebacker Kaden Elliss, breaks down why the organization chose the younger option despite identical contract values, and explains why he believes Davis will still outperform Elliss this season. He also discusses the Saints' long-standing philosophy of moving on from veterans a year early, whether that strategy backfires more often than fans realize, and what Brandon Staley's defense will look like without its longtime leader in the middle. Plus, Moscona reacts to Jon Gruden's surprisingly optimistic outlook on the Saints, Spencer Rattler, Travis Etienne, Chris Olave, Brian Bresee, and why New Orleans may be better than national analysts expect heading into the 2026 NFL season.
