===New Orleans Saints===
The Rams traded Everett to [[1994 New Orleans Saints season|the Saints]] in March 1994. In return, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported, Los Angeles received "a seventh-round pick in the 1995 draft".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-03-19-mn-35997-story.html|first=Mike|last=Reilley|title=Rams Trade Longtime QB Everett to the Saints|work=Los Angeles Times|date=March 19, 1994}}</ref>

In three years with the Saints, benefiting from receivers such as [[Quinn Early]] and former [[Atlanta Falcons|Falcon]] receiver [[Michael Haynes (wide receiver)|Michael Haynes]] and former [[Chicago Bears|Bear]] fullback [[Brad Muster]] in the backfield, Everett threw 22, 26, and 12 touchdowns. Nevertheless, the team finished 7–9, 7–9, and 3–13 in those three years, respectively. The Saints, like many other NFL teams, released or traded core players when the NFL's salary cap took effect around the time Everett arrived. The [[Dome Patrol]] defense had also largely been dismantled by 1994. Only [[Sam Mills]] remained on the Saints' roster by 1994, and that was Mills's final season, as he departed for [[1995 Carolina Panthers season|the expansion Carolina Panthers]] the following year. Running backs [[Dalton Hilliard]] and [[Craig Heyward]] had also both left the Saints by 1994.
