Jaxson Dart

FA Quarterback

1dBeat reporter Nick Underhill reports that head coach Kellen Moore and many of the Saints’ “top people” are expected to attend Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart’s Pro Day on Friday.

Although Derek Carr’s hefty contract is somewhat prohibitive, drafting a promising quarterback prospect is perhaps the most prudent option for Moore, who undoubtedly plans to craft his offense around a talented youngster at some point. Dart has generated some first-round buzz, it would be shocking if the Saints took him No. 9 overall. Underhill notes that the Saints will likely take a look at CB Trey Amos on Friday as well.

Dillon Radunz

NO Tackle #75

4dSaints signed OL Dillon Radunz, formerly of the Titans, to a one-year contract.

The former North Dakota State product visited with the Saints and Seahawks and chose New Orleans. He’ll likely replace Lucas Patrick’s role inside and compete with 2023 fourth-rounder Nick Saldiveri to start for the team at left guard. Radunz also has tackle experience so he would make a versatile backup if that winds up being his role.

Brandin Cooks

NO Wide Receiver #3

8dSaints signed WR Brandin Cooks, formerly of the Cowboys.

Cooks re-joins the franchise that made him the No. 20 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Now 31, Cooks isn’t the explosive player he once was, and he’s coming off a season in which he posted career lows in catches (26), receiving yards (259), and YPR (10.0). Granted, he was limited to just 10 games last season, but it’s no secret that Cooks is on the back nine of his career. With Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed presumably locked in as the Saints’ top two receivers, Cooks’ role should be that of a WR3/WR4 in Kellen Moore’s offense next season. Outside of a dart throw in deeper leagues, it’s hard to imagine Cooks having much fantasy utility at this stage of his career.

Lucas Patrick

FA Guard #62

9dFox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports the Bengals are hosting free agent OG Lucas Patrick for a visit.

Patrick, 31, has 64 career starts to his name and started 10 of the 11 games he appeared in for the Saints last season. The former UDFA spent the first five years of his career with the Packers (2017-2021) and has been a serviceable blocker along the interior. Patrick may find a starting role with the Bengals in 2025, should he sign with them, as they’re still looking for help at both guard spots. He earned a PFF blocking grade of 64.6 last season and could make for a cheap upgrade if the two sides can agree on a deal.

Willie Gay Jr.

MIA Linebacker #6

9dDolphins signed LB Willie Gay Jr., formerly of the Saints, to a one-year contract.

The former second-round pick played out his rookie contract with the Chiefs before signing a one-year deal with the Saints. He appeared in 15 games with the Saints and was credited with eight starts, though he only earned a snap share over 50 percent twice. Gay Jr. totaled two sacks and three pass breakups in New Orleans. He will be a depth option with the Dolphins.

Dillon Radunz

TEN Tackle #75

11dFree agent OL Dillon Radunz is visiting with the Seahawks on Tuesday.

Radunz started at tackle his first two seasons before converting to guard in 2023. While he wasn’t terrific in 2024 — a 63.9 PFF pass block grade is probably his strongest selling point — Radunz has been better inside. Entering his age-27 season after a four-year rookie deal, the former second-round pick could compete for a job on Seattle’s interior line.

Jack Stoll

NO Tight End #80

11dSaints signed TE Jack Stoll to a one-year, $1.362 million contract.

After coming into the league with the Eagles, Stoll was a member of the Dolphins’ practice squad during the 2024 season but did not appear in a game. He’ll likely compete for a depth role behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, and (possibly?) Taysom Hill in New Orleans.

Velus Jones Jr.

NO Wide Receiver #28

11dSaints signed RB/WR Velus Jones Jr., formerly of the Panthers, to a one-year contract.

Bouncing around after his disastrous Bears stint, Jones Jr. spent sections of last year with the Jaguars and Panthers while touching the ball on offense a total of four times in three active games. Entering his age-28 season, Jones Jr. is essentially a gadget player on offense and shouldn’t threaten for much playing time with the Saints if he makes the 53-man roster.

Shemar Jean-Charles

SEA Cornerback #27

12dSeahawks signed CB Shemar Jean-Charles, formerly of the Saints, to a one-year contract.

Jean-Charles is a former fifth-round pick who has appeared in 37 regular season games over four years. The well-traveled corner totaled 14 tackles and one interception last season with the Saints while playing on a career-high 143 defensive snaps. ESPN’s Brady Henderson believes Jean-Charles has a chance to replace corner Tre Brown, who recently left to sign with the 49ers.

Jonah Williams

NO Defensive End #78

14dSaints signed EDGE Jonah Williams, formerly of the Lions.

Williams entered the league as a UDFA in 2020. He eventually latched on with the Rams and worked his way into a starting role in 2023. He totaled 49 tackles plus two sacks. He signed with Minnesota ahead of last season but was cut and later spent time in LA and Detroit.
