NFL teams are working in overdrive this past week in order to land their respective free-agent targets. New England Patriots, Arizona Cardinals, and the New York Jets have been some of the busier teams from the rest of the lot. The latter recently added DB/ST Justin Hardee to their roster on a 3-year deal. The former New Orleans Saints man ended his 3-year stay with coach Sean Payton in order to move to the Big Apple this summer. Despite signing a deal worth a reported total of $5.25 million, Hardee will only take home $1 million guaranteed. However, that does not seem to deter the former Saints man who went undrafted at the 2017 NFL Draft.

He did not hold back in his reply [https://twitter.com/ESPNNFL/status/1372658483007475716?s=20] as he gave a glimpse into the emotional aspect of his game. “I don’t know if you all can see me but right here my heart so we mean that’s why I’m good at it cuz I got heart I won’t back down. I’m a maniac on the field. I just play with grid man and play. Like I’m trying to feed my son. “I play like I told my mother that I was gonna play hard. You know she’s up in the sky watching me. I cannot disappoint her. That’s why I believe I’m good at special teams because I will not be denied,” Hardee said earlier today. Here’s a look at some of Hardee’s career highlights compiled by a Jets fan. After failing to impress the Bill O’Brien-coached Houston Texans, Hardee was signed by Sean Payton’s New Orleans Saints [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-orleans-saints/] in September 2017. He rose to fame in Week 9 after he blocked a punt by Bryan Anger and returned it for a touchdown in a 30–10 win over NFC South rivals Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His exploits earned him the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week award. He will hope to replicate similar displays for the Jets in the coming years. Judging by his passion in the above interview, coach Robert Saleh has bagged a definite gem this summer!

<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>
