New Orleans Saints

Terrell Burgess

S

The 27-year-old from Utah is set to remain in New Orleans after spending 2025 with the team. Across 16 games and 319 total snaps (206 on special teams, 113 on defense) last season, Burgess tallied 22 tackles and three passes defensed. He's expected to remain a key special-teams contributor during the 2026 season.

Chris Rumph II

DE

Rumph appeared in all 17 regular-season games for New Orleans last season and recorded 47 tackles (24 solo), including 2.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass breakup as a part-time defensive player and special-teams stalwart. He should fill a similar role in 2026.

Beanie Bishop Jr.

CB

The league didn't mention the reason for the suspension in its announcement, but Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that it was for a violation of the NFL's substances of abuse policy. Bishop will still be able to participate in offseason activities and preseason contests. He had a significant role for the Steelers as a rookie in 2024 but didn't see any NFL action last year, splitting the campaign between the Steelers' and Saints' practice squads.

Ty Chandler

RB

Chandler, a 2022 fifth-round pick, appeared in just three games for the Vikings last season due to a knee injury, gaining 47 yards on 17 carries while catching three of four targets for 11 yards. However, he appeared in all 34 of Minnesota's regular-season contests in 2023-24, recording 643 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 158 carries. Chandler will likely compete for a backup role behind Travis Etienne in New Orleans and could also see action as a kickoff returner.

Zach Wilson

QB

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the quarterback -- who spent last season with the Dolphins -- will join the Saints on a one-year deal. Taken second overall by the Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft, Wilson joins a QB room in New Orleans that features second-year player Tyler Shough as the incumbent starter. Wilson last started a regular-season game in 2023, but prior to that, the 26-year-old drew 33 starts during his first three years with New York. He'll give the team another signal-caller with NFL starting experience to turn to, if needed.
