Drew Brees is in Indianapolis, where Super Bowl XLVI will be played Sunday.  Next year, the Super Bowl will be played at the Superdome.

“We expect to be there,” Brees told the NFL Network.  “I would love nothing more than to be able to bring that to our fans… a home team playing in a New Orleans Super Bowl.”

No team has ever played on a Super Bowl in its own stadium.

The New Orleans Saints have decided to hire former St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo as the team’s next defensive coordinator, Fox’s Jay Glazer reported Thursday afternoon. Prior to coaching the Rams for the three seasons Spagnuolo was the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.

A lot can change between now and the start of free agency and I sure don’t see any way the New Orleans Saints let quarterback/King Drew Brees walk away. I also think there’s a pretty good chance tight end Tony Gonzalez can return to the Atlanta Falcons if he chooses. Same for cornerback Ronde Barber with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and maybe even Jeremy Shockey with the Carolina Panthers.

But all we know about those guys at the moment is they’re not under contract for 2012. We’ll do much more on free agency as it gets closer but I’ve got the complete list of every NFC South player presently not under contract for 2012.

I’ll list them by team here and we’ll only go with the guys who have at least four years of service and can become unrestricted free agents. We’ll deal with restricted and exclusive-rights free agents at another time.

New Orleans Saints: John Kasay, kicker; Drew Brees, quarterback; Shaun Rogers, defensive tackle; John Gilmore, tight end; Aubrayo Franklin, defensive tackle; Marques Colston, receiver; Pat McQuistan, offensive line; Courtney Roby, receiver; Leigh Torrence, cornerback; Jeff Charleston, defensive end; Turk McBride, defensive end; Robert Meachem, receiver; Jo-Lonn Dunbar, linebacker; Carl Nicks, guard; Tracy Porter, cornerback.

Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has agreed to join the St. Louis Rams, according to the NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora. The St. Louis Dispatch also confirmed that Williams has agreed to join the Rams.

The move has been anticipated in recent weeks, since Williams’ contract was set to expire with the Saints and his close friend Jeff Fisher was hired as the Rams’ head coach.

This isn’t a huge surprise, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that New Orleans offensive coordinator Gregg Williams is expected to leave the Saints and join Jeff Fisher in St. Louis.

Williams worked for Fisher in Tennessee and the two are close friends. Williams’ contract with New Orleans is expiring and there had been speculation he would join Fisher. Williams joined the Saints in 2009 and his trademark opportunistic defense came up with lots of turnovers as New Orleans won the Super Bowl that season.

SAN FRANCISCO – Twice in the final minutes, this had the makings of one of the most dramatic victories in New Orleans Saints history. There were two classic Drew Brees moments, spectacular touchdown passes to Darren Sproles and Jimmy Graham in the final 4:02 that would have taken their place in NFL playoff lore

METAIRIE, La. — There went Pierre Thomas, on a screen pass in the Superdome late last Saturday. He maneuvered past one Detroit Lions defender, split two others, stumbled, regained his balance with one hand and continued to plow forward. It took three defenders to wrestle him to the turf.

This play, a not-so-simple relatively short gain on a night when the Saints set an N.F.L. postseason record with 626 yards, gave guard Carl Nicks flashbacks to the 2009 season, back when Thomas was similarly healthy and proved a catalyst for the Saints’ playoff run

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – One of Pierre Thomas’ teammates referred to him as “an animal” after the Saints’ playoff opening triumph over Detroit.

Thomas is just happy to be healthy and able to help New Orleans in another playoff run.

The fifth-year running back was a key player in the Saints’ lone championship two seasons ago, turning screen passes into long touchdowns in both the NFC championship game and the Super Bowl. In 2010, however, he struggled with a left ankle injury for much of the regular season and was on injured reserve by the time the Saints were bounced from the playoffs in a first-round loss at Seattle.
