New Orleans Saints secara resmi mengumumkan kesepakatan kontrak dengan 10 pemain rookie yang tidak terpilih dalam NFL Draft 2025. Langkah ini diambil untuk memperkuat skuad menjelang musim kompetisi mendatang.
Di antara pemain yang bergabung adalah C.J. Donaldson, running back yang sebelumnya bermain untuk West Virginia sebelum pindah ke Ohio State pada 2025. Dalam satu musim bersama Buckeyes, Donaldson mencatatkan performa impresif dengan 96 kali carry, 361 yard lari, dan 10 touchdown. Kontribusinya diharapkan dapat menambah kedalaman lini ofensif Saints.
Sementara itu, dari sisi ofensif, Saints juga menambahkan Cody Hardy (tight end dari N.C. State), Alan Herron (tackle ofensif dari Maryland), dan Alex Wollschlaeger (tackle ofensif dari Kentucky).
Untuk lini pertahanan, kontrak juga disepakati dengan Michael Heldman (defensive end dari Central Michigan), DaShawn Jones (cornerback dari Alabama), Jeremiah McLendon (cornerback dari Southern Illinois), KeeShawn Silver (defensive tackle dari USC), serta Jay'Viar Suggs (defensive tackle dari Wisconsin). Selain itu, Saints merekrut Mason Shipley, kicker dari Texas, untuk mengisi posisi kunci di unit khusus.
Para pemain ini akan melalui tahap latihan pra-musim sebelum menentukan posisi mereka di skuad utama. Kontrak yang disepakati umumnya bersifat jangka pendek, memberi kesempatan bagi pemain untuk membuktikan diri di kompetisi profesional.
