  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Facing competition from rookies

    Vele (shoulder) faces increased competition for playing time and targets after the Saints used three picks on wide receivers in last weekend's 2026 NFL Draft, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    New Orleans used the No. 8 overall pick on Jordyn Tyson, who figures to start alongside Chris Olave from day one, and later on the Saints took Bryce Lance in the fourth round and Barion Brown in the sixth. Acquired from the Broncos during the preseason last summer, Vele appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Saints, making seven starts, and produced a 25-293-2 receiving line on 39 targets. Following the trade of Rashid Shaheed to Seattle, Vele became a starter but was injured in Week 15 and missed the final three contests. Capable of playing the slot or outside and on special teams, Vele should have a role in 2026, but the target competition is much stiffer.

  • Saints' Mason Shipley: Saints bring in kicker

    The Saints signed Shipley as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

    Shipley ended his final season with the Texas Longhorns 20-for-24 on field-goal attempts, with his longest make coming in at 53 yards. The kicker should provide Charlie Smyth with some competition in camp, as Smyth logged only six NFL starts with the Saints in 2025 after taking over for Blake Grupe.

  • Saints' Cody Hardy: Picked up by New Orleans

    The Saints signed Hardy as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

    Hardy played in 44 games over his college career, spending three years at Elon before transferring to North Carolina State as a senior. The tight end produced just six receptions for 83 yards and two touchdowns in his final season, but his main value came as a run blocker. The 6-foot-5, 271-pound rookie will have to show significant special teams upside for a shot to remain on the Saints' depth chart come September.

  • Saints' CJ Donaldson: Signing with New Orleans

    The Saints signed Donaldson as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

    Donaldson played in 13 games for Ohio State in 2025, logging 96 carries for 361 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns over his senior season. The 21-year-old spent the first three years of his collegiate career at West Virginia, logging 171 and 163 carries in his sophomore and junior seasons, respectively. As a well-built downhill back, his upside for the Saints comes as a depth option for short-yardage situations.

  • Saints' Anfernee Jennings: Heading to Big Easy

    Jennings is expected to sign with the Saints on Sunday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Jennings spent the last five seasons with the Patriots, accumulating 132 tackles and 7.5 sacks. The 2020 third-round pick was let go by New England on March 11. Jennings is heading into his age-29 season, and he should provide veteran depth behind Carl Granderson and Chase Young.

  • Saints' TJ Hall: Picked by New Orleans

    The Saints selected Hall in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 219th overall.

    Like seemingly all Hawkeyes cornerbacks, Hall (6-foot-1, 189 pounds) is a rugged player who is well-versed on the fundamentals. The unfortunate contrast to recent Iowa standouts Cooper DeJean and Riley Moss is that Hall is a below-average athlete by cornerback standards, logging just a 4.59-second 40-yard dash with short arms (30 inches) ill suited to press coverage. If Hall's lack of athletic traits don't hold him back, there's reason to think he has the skill set necessary to at least provide quality cornerback depth at the NFL level.

  • Saints' Barion Brown: Bound for New Orleans

    The Saints selected Brown in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 190th overall.

    Brown is a speedster who can take the top off the defense, compiling 53 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown in his senior season at LSU. He's very thin at 5-foot-11, 177 pounds, and he profiles as more of a sprinter than a polished route runner. Brown will likely be asked to add weight and muscle mass to his frame at the next level, and he'll need to clean up drops -- he totaled 21 drops over four seasons in college. One thing working in Brown's favor is his aptitude as a returner, which could help his case for a 53-man roster spot with the Saints. At receiver, Chris Olave and first-round pick Jordyn Tyson top the team's depth chart, and Devaughn Vele has shown pretty well in his first couple of NFL campaigns, but there is room for Brown to find a home and move up the depth chart if he performs well in camp.

  • Saints' Lorenzo Styles: Selected by Saints

    New Orleans selected Styles in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 172nd overall.

    Styles didn't see much playing time over the first four years of his college career but emerged as a starter in Ohio State's secondary in 2025, when he posted 30 total tackles and three pass defenses across 12 games. He caught the attention of scouts at the 2026 NFL Combine, when he posted an impressive 4.27-second 40-yard dash time, the fastest among defensive backs. Styles struggled at times with his processing time in the secondary, but he does bring experience on special teams both in coverage and as a returner, which should help him see the field in his rookie season. On defense, his main competition for snaps will come from the likes of Jordan Howard and Jonas Sanker.

  • Saints' Tyree Wilson: Traded to Saints

    The Raiders have traded Wilson and the No. 219 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Saints in exchange for pick No. 150, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

    Wilson is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 35 tackles and 4.0 sacks in 17 games. In his new locale, the seventh overall selection in the 2023 Draft will get a fresh start while giving the Saints -- who were in need of pass-rushing help -- an edge player with some untapped potential.

  • Saints' Bryce Lance: Headed to New Orleans

    The Saints selected Lance in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 136th overall.

    Lance (6-foot-3, 204 pounds) boasts adequate size to complement his explosive athletic trades (4.34 40-yard dash), and he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his two seasons as a starter at North Dakota State (five years total). He showed especially well on deep routes in 2025, when he logged a career-best 21.5 yards per catch across 13 games as a fifth-year senior. To compete for more than a rotational role at the NFL level, Lance will need to significantly expand his route tree, but in New Orleans' crowded wide receiver room there may not be much pressure to develop into more than a situational playmaker. All of Devaughn Vele (shoulder), Mason Tipton (groin), Bub Means (lower leg), Kevin Austin, Trey Palmer (ankle), Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder), Ronnie Bell and Samori Toure represent competition for Lance to earn wide receiver reps behind Chris Olave (illness) and No. 8 overall pick Jordyn Tyson.

  • Saints' Jeremiah Wright: Heads to New Orleans

    The Saints selected Wright in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 132nd overall.

    Wright worked on both the offensive and defensive lines during his six-year college career at Auburn before settling as the team's starter at right guard in 2024 and 2025. He has the strength to overpower opposing defenders and anchor an offensive line, but he'll need to work on his technique and skill to keep up with NFL-level defenses. Wright figures to work in a reserve role at guard behind Cesar Ruiz and David Edwards, with veteran Dillon Radunz also in the mix.
