News: According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints will experiment with moving Wilson from linebacker to defensive end this offseason.
Impact: After drafting Wilson in the third round of last year's NFL draft, his path to a starting spot at linebacker was subsequently blocked this offseason with the Saints signing Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne. Yet, with Wilson's combination of speed and size, the Saints envision him as a dynamic pass rusher off the edge who can also drop into coverage. With Will Smith out for the first four weeks of the season and getting up there in age, this could be a promising switch.

News: Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says he isn't taking any of Brees' recent complaints about slow contract negotiations personally.
Impact: Loomis says the star quarterback's next contract is going to have a significant effect on the team for a long time, so it has to be right for the Saints as well as Brees. Brees said earlier this week he is frustrated by a lack of communication and lack of urgency to reach a deal.

News: According to special teams coordinator Greg McMahon, the Saints did not merely re-sign the 42-year old Kasay for insurance reasons in case Garrett Hartley was not fully healed from the injury that sidelined him last year, but rather plan on holding an open competition for kicking duties, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Impact: Kasay was excellent last season filling in for Hartley and this is good news for potential Kasay owners, though it remains the worst nightmare for fantasy owners drafting early in the year, as it seems that this competition could last through training camp.

News: According to special teams coordinator Greg McMahon, the Saints did not merely re-sign 42-year old John Kasay for insurance reasons in case Hartley was not fully healed from the injury that sidelined him last year, but rather plan on holding an open competition for kicking duties, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Impact: If Hartley thought that the starting kicking spot was simply going to be handed to him after missing all of last season, he was sorely mistaken. Kasay excelled in Hartley's absence, and while the Saints would prefer Hartley win the job given the significant difference in ages between the players, he will have to seize the opportunity in training camp.

News: According to interim head coach Joe Vitt, Toon displayed good hands and speed in separating himself from other players at Saints minicamp, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Impact: While this isn't huge news, it is good to know that Toon looks like he belongs after being drafted by the Saints in the fourth round of the NFL draft. With the departure of Robert Meachem via free agency, only the unproven Adrian Arrington stands between Toon and a nice role in one of the most explosive offenses in the league. Even if Toon can't pass Arrington or veteran Devery Henderson on the depth chart, he is at least a name fantasy owners should be familiar with in case the injury bug strikes.

News: According to Mike Triplett's Twitter account, the Saints will likely take it easy on Ingram at the start of training lamp after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee this offseason.
Impact: While Ingram is expected to miss six weeks after undergoing surgery May 4, Triplett says the Saints fully expect him to be healthy in time for the regular season.

News: A person with knowledge of the surgery says Ingram underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee.
Impact: The surgery was performed Thursday, the person says on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced it. The prognosis is for Ingram to return well before training camps open at the end of July. He gained 474 yards on 122 carries and scored five touchdowns rushing for the Saints last season.
