Saints | Chris Olave bulks up Fri May 29, 09:52 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave gained 10 pounds of muscle ahead of OTAs.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson did not participate in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28. The Saints plan to have him more involved in upcoming workouts with the hope that he is a full participant when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, injury concerns were the biggest red flag on Tyson's college scouting report; he played through a hamstring issue last season that lingered into the pre-draft process, and the Saints are managing him carefully. Taking it slowly and not rushing him into full reps before his body is ready for it in May just makes sense. We'll monitor and report back as needed. |

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered during the 2025 season and is unlikely to do much during offseason workouts, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Miller hasn't played more than eight games in a season throughout his three-year NFL career. The focus right now is simply on getting healthy, staying healthy, and staying on track to return to the field. Miller has certainly shown upside when available, showcasing a burst and physicality that made him an intriguing Day 2 draft pick. However, availability is the best ability, as some say, and that's been the biggest obstacle for him early in his career. The Saints landed former Jacksonville Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. on a four-year deal. He's expected to be the lead back this year. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara was not present at OTAs on Thursday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: Kamara sitting out voluntary sessions isn't unusual. As noted by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football on Wednesday, Kamara has been working out with his own trainers in preparation for 2026, as he often does. But given that general manager Mickey Loomis said earlier this month that the team is "trying to see how [Kamara is] gonna fit on our roster," it's notable that Kamara isn't in attendance -- even if it's not out of the ordinary. The team signed former Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. this offseason. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Free-agent LB Jackson Sirmon (Jets) signed with the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, May 27. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints CB Jeremiah McClendon was waived Wednesday, May 27, according to a source.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Bryce Lance is viewed as a tall, developmental player who hasn't had experience competing at the highest level. 'He didn't play at a Power 4 conference, so there's probably some development that we need to do there,' general manager Mickey Loomis said.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Barion Brown made some nice catches at rookie minicamp, and head coach Kellen Moore said that the team views him as more of just a kick-return specialist. 'He's had a lot of success at receiver and so we certainly see that vision for him in addition to the return game that obviously everyone knows,' Moore said.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints DB Lorenzo Styles Jr. (shoulder) continues to rehab his shoulder injury, and he will not see the field until training camp. He could be a candidate to replace departed nickel CB Alontae Taylor, and he might also have a spot on special teams. 'Oftentimes for guys on [Day 3], the path to the roster is special teams,' general manager Mickey Loomis said. 'So, it's either they have experience in their college career or they have the traits that we think are necessary to become special teams players.'
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints OG Jeremiah Wright is unlikely to supplant OG David Edwards, who was signed to be the starting left guard. General manager Mickey Loomis said he would be doing the rookie 'a disservice' to throw more than one position at him. He will take all of his snaps at guard. 'Big. People mover. He's going to come in and immediately add size and power to our offensive line and [we'll] see how he develops,' Loomis said. His best opportunity to get on the field would be beating out OG Cesar Ruiz at right guard.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints TE Oscar Delp could be the third tight end behind starting TE Juwan Johnson and veteran addition TE Noah Fant, with TE/QB Taysom Hill unsigned, and journeyman TE Foster Moreau gone. 'Obviously he has athleticism. We saw that on film. The physicality I think he plays with will show up as we progress, particularly in pads,' head coach Kellen Moore said. 'That'll be a big part of this thing because from a tight end perspective, that's a deep group now, which is a positive.'

New Orleans Saints DT Christen Miller (undisclosed) did not see the field during rookie minicamp, as he has been dealing with an undisclosed injury. When he is healthy, his versatility is expected to get him on the field quickly. 'Big, powerful young man and adds to a great room, so we're excited to get him,' general manager Mickey Loomis said.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson was one of several players on a 'maintenance plan' to build them back up after significant time out of football, beat writer Katherine Terrell said. 'I know my body pretty well, I've endured a couple of injuries so I kind of know, but I'm just trying to learn as much as possible and do as much as possible,' Tyson said. When he was on the field, he moved around, taking snaps at all three receiver positions.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Bryce Lance will need some time to develop, according to general manager Mickey Loomis.
| Footballguys view: The brother of Chargers QB Trey Lance, the Saints rookie was a star at the FCS level in college at North Dakota State. Lance is an elite vertical threat who can regularly win at the catch point. With a fine size/speed combination, Lance is an exciting prospect when fully developed in the pros. That's why we appreciate the 2026 fourth-round pick in dynasty formats. |
New Orleans Saints TE Oscar Delp is going to have to do some 'dirty work' and contribute on special teams, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Delp's path to playing time as a rookie will include plenty of dirty work on special teams and as a blocker on offense. Coming out of Georgia, Delp is a dual-threat "Y" tight end who can contribute as a blocker and receiver. His receiving chops are what Fantasy GMs have interest in, and Delp has the speed to stretch the seam in the middle of the field. He'll have time to develop behind Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant in 2026, but we love Delp's upside in dynasty formats. |
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson took snaps at all three receiver positions during rookie minicamp.
| Footballguys view: Tyson was arguably the best receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft, and it's wise for the Saints to use him all over the field. Saints HC Kellen Moore may have a plan to use the talented rookie as a chess piece he can move around. Tyson immediately jumps into the mix as the no.2 option behind Chris Olave in the WR pecking order. If Tyson develops chemistry with QB Tyler Shough, we could see him pay off as a flex-worthy play for Fantasy GMs. |
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller is not guaranteed to be the No. 2 back if RB Alvin Kamara does not return to the team, according to Mike Triplett of New Orleans Football, and Triplett believes the Saints would 'go shopping' for a reliable backup if Kamara is not with the team.
| Footballguys view: Miller has failed to endear himself to Kellen Moore and his coaching staff going into the last year of his rookie deal after the team drafted him in the third round back in 2023. Last year's sixth round pick Devin Neal and Broncos 2024 fourth round pick Audric Estime both looked competent after Kamara and Miller went down last year, and either of them could beat out Miller for a roster spot whether Kamara is with the team this year or not. |

As the 2026 season draws nearer, the Saints and star RB Alvin Kamara appear to be at an impasse. But a decision may soon be in the works. "We're just trying to see how he's gonna fit in our roster, and obviously, there's a resource management element to it," general manager Mickey Loomis said on Monday. "We'll get to that over the next week or two."
| Footballguys view: Asked to clarify his "resource management" comment, Loomis said it was related to Kamara's contract. The GM added that next week's OTAs create "a little bit of a deadline to make a decision, but it's not hard and fast." Last season was Kamara's least productive. He was limited to 11 games and settled for career lows in rushing (471), yards per carry (3.6), and touchdowns (1). The team signed former Jaguars RB Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $52 million deal in March. That ensures a front-line role for Etienne -- and a lesser role for Kamara if he returns. |

Free-agent QB Taysom Hill (Saints) has not received a contract offer from the New Orleans Saints this offseason, according to general manager Mickey Loomis.
| Footballguys view: While retirement is possible, Hill, who turns 36 in August, is often linked to the Denver Broncos, where his old friend Sean Payton is now the head coach. It's not clear how much Hill might have in the tank; as the Sporting News suggested, there's no precedent for a player like Hill, so it's hard to know how he might age. In his career, he has run for 2,551 yards, received 1,034 yards, and thrown for 2,426 yards. He's the first player in the Super Bowl era to clear 1,000 in all three. We'll watch for more. |

Free-agent DE Cameron Jordan (Saints) has received a contract offer from the New Orleans Saints this offseason, according to general manager Mickey Loomis.
| Footballguys view: Jordan has talked about leaving the door open to returning to New Orleans for his 16th season, but he hasn't accepted that contract offer. That suggests Jordan is looking for something more from the Saints or someone else before making any commitment for the coming season. |

Link to storyUndrafted free-agent WR Brock Rechsteiner (Jacksonville State) signed with the New Orleans Saints, according to a source on Monday, May 11.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson practice fully on Friday, May 8, but the team held him out Saturday, May 9. It was reportedly a planned day off, and not some type of new injury. He dealt with hamstring injuries since the 2025 season, and it's why he did not work out at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Link to storyUndrafted free-agent WR Mekhi Mews (University of Houston) has been signed by the New Orleans Saints. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints fourth-round draft choice OT Jeremiah Wright, fifth-round draft choice S Lorenzo Styles Jr. and seventh-round draft choice CB TJ Hall signed four-year contracts with the Saints Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints third-round draft choice TE Oscar Delp signed a four-year contract with the Saints Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Delp is a classic "could be a better pro than college player" prospect. Georgia didn't use him often as a receiver, but when they did, the speed, athleticism, and ball skills of a weapon in the passing game were apparent. The Saints used three picks in the first four rounds to add players who can do damage downfield for Tyler Shough and Kellen Moore. |
New Orleans Saints fourth-round draft choice WR Bryce Lance signed a four-year contract with the Saints Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Trey Lance's little brother has the long frame and speed to be a Marquez Valdes-Scantling-esque deep threat if he can adjust to the NFL level of play from North Dakota State. He could also have a larger role if #8 overall pick Jordyn Tyson's durability issues carry over to the pros. |
New Orleans Saints sixth-round draft choice WR Barion Brown signed a four-year contract with the Saints Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) did not participate in practice Saturday, May 9, but head coach Kellen Moore said the team planned to hold Tyson out.
| Footballguys view: This is a non-story, except that it is a reminder that Tyson's durability is already on the Saints mind before he has even taken a snap in practice. |
New Orleans Saints second-round draft choice DT Christen Miller signed a four-year contract with the Saints Saturday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson has reportedly signed his fully guaranteed four-year deal worth $32.5 million, according to a source on Friday, May 8.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore told the media on Friday, May 8, that WR Barion Brown 'is a receiver as well not just a returner.'
| Footballguys view: Brown has plenty of receiving skill in addition to what he can do as a returner. He's blazing fast, and that speed is evident once he gets to the open field. In fantasy leagues that reward return yardage, we're excited about Brown's future. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara said he's excited to see what he and RB Travis Etienne can do together.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has made it evident that he wants to stay put with the Saints and play a role in the club's plans moving forward. During a podcast interview with former teammate Terron Armstead that was released Monday, Kamara praised QB Tyler Shough and the team's first-round draft pick, Jordyn Tyson. He was also excited about what he and RB Travis Etienne Jr. can do together. Kamara, 30, dealt with ankle and knee issues last season that limited him to 11 games. His role this year is unclear, but complementary work behind Etienne seems like a best-case outcome. |
