Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-orleans-saints/] are synonymous with one another. The QB, brought in from the Los Angeles Chargers back in 2006, has enjoyed multiple successful years with the New Orleans-based outfit. Looking to mount a charge for the Super Bowl, Brees was stopped in his tracks with a set of injuries. Brees sustained 11 broken ribs and a lung puncture in the games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the San Francisco 49ers and was placed on Injury Reserve. He has been recuperating since and has finally been cleared to return to practice. Saints’ Head Coach Sean Payton, when inquired [https://www.espn.in/nfl/story/_/id/30533660/new-orleans-saints-qb-drew-brees-ways-go-injury-recovery] about the QB’s chances of starting on Sunday, said that while nothing can be ruled out, the Saints will take their time with Brees. ALSO READ- Former Pro Bowler Names the Three Scariest Teams Heading Into Playoffs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-former-pro-bowler-names-the-three-scariest-teams-heading-into-playoffs/] LONG INJURY LAYOFF The injuries that Brees [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/drew-brees/] sustained were more serious in nature than expected and put the franchise QB out for nearly a month. Taysom Hill, who has deputized in Brees’ absence, has led the Saints to a 3-1 record since. With such performances from Hill, coach Payton seems to be in no rush to start Brees right away. “We haven’t ruled anything just because we don’t have to,” said Payton after the team’s Wednesday practice. “He’s got a ways to go still, and he’s someone we’re not gonna just hurry back and just put him in the game… I think the significance of the injuries are such that you’ve gotta make sure he can function and feel confident.” DREW BREES ITCHING TO GET BACK IN ACTION In his 14 years with the Saints, Drew Brees has won a Super Bowl and racked up multiple records along the way. He is the all-time [http://www.espn.com/nfl/history/leaders/_/stat/passyards] leader in passing yards and pass completions and an influential figure in the locker room. With a playoff spot clinched, it won’t be a surprise if the Saints choose not to start Brees on Sunday. But given Brees’ competitive nature, which won him the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award (2004), the QB will be itching to get a snap.

<h2 style="text-align: center">New Orleans Saints 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The New Orleans Saints came into existence ahead of the 1967 NFL season after the league granted the city a franchise. They derive the name from the city and a calling card of the city’s culture. i.e. Jazz. The <a href="https://aleteia.org/2018/09/25/song-of-faith-and-jazz-how-the-new-orleans-saints-got-their-name/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">name</a> “Saints” came from the Louis Armstrong melody “When the Saints go marching in.”
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-400766" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201005185319/New-Orleans-Saints-Logo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
The song is used as chants at the team’s home stadiums, which have changed twice. The Saints made their NFL bow at the Tulane Stadium before moving to the Superdome where they are based even in the 2020 NFL season. 
In the 2005 NFL season, New Orleans had to <a href="https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/sports/nfl/saints/2020/09/13/saints-flashback-n-o-dealt-empty-and-damaged-dome-2005/5778594002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">play</a> their share of home games in New York’s Giants Stadium, San Antonio’s Alamodome, and the LSU Tigers’ Tiger Stadium. 
In keeping with the Saints theme, the club’s official launch date was on November 1, known as All-Saints day.
The New Orleans Saints entered the ranks of professional football for the 1967 NFL season. Right from their first game, they retained their black and gold colors. The New Orleans Saints endured two decades of failure and couldn’t make a mark. 
They claimed a first divisional title nearly a quarter of a century after making their NFL bow. This didn’t prove to be the kick they needed as they slipped back into oblivion. The <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nor/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Saints</a> ended the 90s with a combined 15-33 record in the 1997, 1998, and 1999 NFL seasons. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-400769" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201005185516/2-114.jpg" alt="" width="1672" height="945" />
The turn of the century brought about the winds of change for ‘The Black and Gold’. After just a solitary post-season appearance, the franchise has transformed into playoff regulars. 
Led by long time New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, and Head Coach Sean Payton led outfit features in the NFC South alongside Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 
The Saints finished their 2020 campaign with a 12-4 record and placed first in the NFC South. Brees led the franchise to a Wild Card Playoffs win vs the Chicago Bears 21-9. However, they fell to their divisional rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-30 in the Divisional Playoffs.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
Gayle Benson is the owner of the New Orleans Saints and NBA side New Orleans Pelicans. She <a href="https://www.fox8live.com/story/37748530/bensons-will-gayle-benson-named-sole-beneficiary-heirs-and-descendants-cut-out-of-inheritance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">took over</a> the position after her husband Tom Benson died in 2018. 
The businessman <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1985/03/13/sports/sports-people-deal-made-for-saints.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">paid</a> $70 million for the team ahead of the 1985 NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-400779" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201005185815/3-62-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1189" />
Benson's primary aim was to ensure the city had a football team as the previous owners wished to cut their losses. The party interested in the purchase may have moved the team away from its base, which did not sit well with Benson, who took matters into his own hands. 
At the time of the purchase, the Saints had yet to make it past the regular season in 18 attempts. Under Benson, the franchise's fortunes changed as they made it to two playoffs in the next five seasons. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">New Orleans Saints Achievements</h2>
The New Orleans Saints have won the Super Bowl <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201002070clt.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">XLIV</a> title for the 2009 NFL season. They beat the Indianapolis Colts - to follow up their maiden Conference Championship win and bring football's biggest prize to the state of Louisiana for the first time. 
Besides the solitary Vincent Lombardi Trophy triumph, the franchise has claimed the divisional title eight times. Furthermore, they have made it to the playoffs 13 times, with eight of these appearances coming after Drew Brees signed with the team ahead of the 2006 NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-400780" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201005185835/4-41.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />
Their stronghold on the NFC South since 2002 exhibits the formidable unit they are. Despite sustained dominance in the new millennium, the New Orleans Saints are yet to produce a regular-season NFL MVP winner. 
Nine individuals associated with the New Orleans Saints are part of the Pro Football <a href="https://www.profootballhof.com/heroes-of-the-game/franchises/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hall of Fame</a>. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">New Orleans Saints Logo</h2>
The New Orleans Saints' logo has changed in the NFL seasons that they have been in football. However, the central theme signifying the Fleur-de-lis.
For 33 years from 1967 to 1999, the Fleur-de-lis was black with a tracing of white within the structure. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-400768" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201005185501/1-272.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="808" />
In the year 2000, the New Orleans Saints introduced their primary color gold to replace the huge chunk of black in the middle. 
The dark shade of gold became brighter ahead of the 2002 NFL season. After nine seasons with the crest, the Saints lightened the logo further in 2012. Ahead of the 2017 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints introduced their fifth logo. It featured a unique tinge of gold previously unseen on their logos. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">New Orleans Saints 2022 Sponsors</h2>
BlockParty, a fan-focused hospitality and entertainment company entered into an exclusive agreement to become the official tailgate and hospitality partner of the Saints. The company will offer a limited three-game release of pre-game hospitality options to Saints fans. Additionally, the New Orleans Saints also have a tie-up with Window World.
Not to mention, the Invisalign brand was named official Clear Aligner Sponsor of the NFL and by extension, the New Orleans Saints. SeatGeek was also named as the Primary Ticketing platform of two New Orleans entities, the Saints and the Pelican.

<h2 style="text-align: center">New Orleans Saints 2022 Roster Foundation</h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Drew Brees 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements </h2>
The New Orleans Saints No.9, Drew Brees, is a veteran quarterback who will begin his 20th season in the NFL. He played college football for Purdue and piqued the interest of NFL teams across the board. Brees became a 2nd round pick in the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2001/draft.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2001 NFL draft</a> and went at 32nd overall to the San Diego Chargers. 
A year later, he secured the starting spot. However, in the 2005 NFL season, Drew Brees suffered an <a href="https://www.espn.in/nfl/news/story?id=2278077" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">injury</a>. As a result, the San Diego Chargers did not offer Brees a sizable deal. This prompted the quarterback to take up free agency.

Mandatory Credit: Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
Drew Brees elected to join the New Orleans Saints and has remained with the side ever since.
