The New Orleans Saints have a new safety.

Per multiple reports, the team is signing former Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid to a three-year deal worth up to $31.5 million with $22.5 million guaranteed. New Orleans gets a really nice upgrade for their safety room.

Reid, who just turned 28 in February, was born in Prairieville and went to high school in Geismar. After playing collegiately at Stanford, Reid was drafted by the Houston Texans in 2018 as the 68th overall pick in the 3rd Round. He signed with the Chiefs in May 2022 on a three-year, $31.5 million deal and ended up winning two Super Bowls. Tyrann Mathieu and Daniel Sorensen both left the Chiefs, so Reid filled in admirably.

NFL.com had Reid as their 24th-best free agent and their third-highest safety. He graded out as the 20th-best safety out of 170 players on Pro Football Focus with a grade of 76.9. ...

The New Orleans Saints wasted no time finding a Will Harris replacement, inking former Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid to a three-year, $31.5 million deal with $22.5 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The 28-year-old follows in the footsteps of his teammate and fellow Louisiana native, veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu, as both went from being teammates on the Houston Texans to winning a Super Bowl in Kansas City (Reid twice, Mathieu once) before heading to the Big Easy to rep the black and gold.

Reid finished the 2024 campaign with 70 solo tackles (15 assists), 32 stops, 6...

One of the bigger disappointments in recent NFL Draft memory for the New Orleans Saints has moved on. Payton Turner has reportedly agreed to a 1-year $3 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys. The Saints obviously did not pick up his fifth-year option, so Turner departs for Dallas after just four seasons in New Orleans.

Turner was picked with the 28th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft after a good but unremarkable career at the University of Houston. He was a project but never managed to stay on the field, as he only played 31 of a possible 68 games during his tenure in New Orleans due...

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints are making significant moves in free agency, securing key players while also seeing some departures.

Tight end Juwan Johnson is set to return to New Orleans on a three-year, $30 million contract that includes over $21 million in guarantees, according to NFL Network. The deal makes Johnson the 11th-highest-paid tight end in the league. Johnson, who originally joined the Saints as an undrafted free agent wide receiver before transitioning to tight end, has been a steady contributor. Since taking over as the starter in 2022, he has averaged 43 receptions...

The New Orleans Saints and veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu have agreed to a reworked contract, per Nick Underhill.

Mathieu’s new agreement will keep him in New Orleans for the 2025 season at a lower cap hit and with incentives, he can make up to $7.2 million.

In 2024, the veteran safety recorded 3 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles for the Saints in all 17 games. Mathieu’s consistency and availability have made him a top safety in the league, but as the team looks to do a soft rebuild, there was potential for the parties to part ways.

There were some rumors that Mathieu could be a cut...

The New Orleans Saints have lost safety Will Harris to the Washington Commanders. On Tuesday morning, Mike Garafolo reported that Harris inked a two-year deal worth eight million dollars with the Washington Commanders.

After spending his first five seasons with the Detroit Lions, Harris signed a one-year deal with the Saints prior to the 2024 season. He played 13 games in New Orleans, totaling 74 tackles (second-most in his career), five pass breakups and one interception.
