New Orleans Saints

Chris Olave

WR

Olave indicated that reaching an agreement before camp would help avoid any distractions and "not affect team chemistry." The standout wide receiver has been limited during offseason work while recovering from January treatment for a blood clot, but head coach Kellen Moore has repeatedly expressed confidence in his recovery. Per Albert Breer of SI.com, Olave has recently been cleared, meaning he should be fully ready for the start of training camp. Olave remains the No. 1 target for second-year quarterback Tyler Shough and will be joined by rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) during the 2026 campaign.

Tanner Brown

PK

Brown most recently spent time with the Falcons' practice squad in 2024, and he's now agreed to terms with the Saints. The Oklahoma State product has yet to make an NFL appearance after converting 22 of 23 field-goal attempts and all 42 of his point-after tries across 12 games during his final collegiate season in 2022. He's expected to compete with Charlie Smyth for New Orleans' top kicker spot ahead of the 2026 season.

Hunter Dekkers

QB

Dekkers has now returned to the Saints after spending most of last season on the team's practice squad injured list. The Iowa Western product has yet to appear in an NFL game after throwing for 3,044 yards, 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 12 contests during his final collegiate season in 2022.

Jalen Moreno-Cropper

WR

The Fresno State product spent most of his 2025 campaign with the Cowboys' practice squad, but he's since found a new home in New Orleans. Moreno-Cropper appeared in four regular-season games during his two seasons in Dallas, recording 38 kick-return yards and 27 punt-return yards. He'll likely compete for a special-teams role as the offseason progresses.

Tyler Shough

QB

As a rookie, Shough appeared in 11 regular-season contests and went 5-4 as the Saints' starting QB after taking over for Spencer Rattler in November. In the process, he completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards, with 10 touchdowns and six picks, while adding 45 carries for 186 yards and three rushing TDs. This coming season, the 2025 second-rounder approaches training camp atop a signal-caller depth chart that still includes Rattler, as well as Zach Wilson and Hunter Dekkers. In addition to the Saints' investment in added weapons at the skill positions for Shough, the team looked to fortify its protection unit by signing veteran guard David Edwards and TE Noah Fant, who is underrated as a blocker, per Jackson. With continued growth in in his second campaign as a pro, Shough has a chance provide solid fantasy value in 2026 relative to his average draft position.
