Simo Valakari has told his St Johnstone players to treat Wednesday's trip to Hearts as a must-win match as they bid to keep their Scottish Premiership survival hopes alive. Last-placed Saints moved within three points of second-bottom Ross County when they beat the Highland side 2-1 on Saturday.

The team announced Sanker's signing on Tuesday morning. It's a four-year deal for the fourth-round pick and the Saints have now signed seven of their nine draft picks. Now armed with the No. 1 overall pick and some stars in varying states of health on its roster, Dallas has some options — and some crucial decisions to make.

Those factors align in a player who might wind up on the trade block this year. According to Matt Holder at Bleacher Report, Rashid Shaheed of the New Orleans is one of six wide receivers who could get dealt next after George Pickens went from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys.

Veteran safety Terrell Burgess had a successful tryout at the Saints’ rookie minicamp. The Saints announced on Monday that they have signed Burgess to their 90-man roster. They also confirmed the previously reported addition of wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones, who also tried out at the minicamp.

The Saints have a new quarterback situation after Derek Carr's retirement. New Orleans drafted Tyler Shough out of Louisville to compete along with Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler. Kellen Moore takes over this year as the new head coach and former Michigan offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier will be overseeing the offense in The Big Easy.

After Derek Carr retired over the weekend, the New Orleans Saints arguably became a more interesting team. Let's guess their schedule.
