With all the negative news surrounding the New Orleans Saints recently, fans can take solace in one thing – the offseason won’t last forever.
The NFL released the Saints’ 2012 preseason schedule Wednesday, with five games on the card.
New Orleans will kick off the 2012 NFL preseason Aug. 5 with the Hall of Fame Game against the Arizona Cardinals. The two teams will face off one day after former Saints left tackle Willie Roaf will become the second team member to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The Saints will play the New England Patriots in Gillette Stadium in week two on a date to be announced later. They’ll host the Jacksonville Jaguars in week three and the Houston Texans in week four on Aug. 25 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The team will close out the preseason at LP Field against the Tennessee Titans on either Aug. 30 or Aug. 31.
