The Saints are ushering in a younger era under coach Kellen Moore, who is implementing a plan despite the impact of free agency on some of the team's longtime players.

Financial and Market Impacts
An expansive memorabilia collection belonging to the late Colts owner Jim Irsay brought in over $93 million at auction with Christie's.

Jets quarterback Geno Smith vowed to be better than ever in his second stint with the team, saying he is confident.
