New Orleans Saints continue to shape their roster for the 2025 NFL season, and in addition to having stars Alvin Kamara and Derek Carr secured for the upcoming campaign, they now have a player who could be crucial to the team’s offensive performance.
Carr will be the starting quarterback for the New Orleans franchise in the 2025 season following speculations about his future. The Saints restructured his contract, converting his $30 million base salary and $10 million roster bonus into a signing bonus, which reduced his cap hit for 2025 to $20.4 million.
Kamara, for his part, signed a major contract renewal at the end of 2024, ensuring he will stay with the Saints for two more years. The renewals of stars like him and Carr create room for another player to receive an extension.
Which Saints player has renewed his contract?
Kamara and Carr‘s teammate who has renewed his contract with the Saints is offensive lineman Landon Young. The new deal is for one year, as confirmed by the New Orleans team. It will be Young’s fifth year with the roster, after being selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Young has been a valuable asset in short-yardage situations.
This renewal strengthens the depth of the offensive line, aligning with head coach Kellen Moore’s strategy to reinforce his roster led by Kamara and Carr. In recent hours, the Saints also signed defensive end Jonah Williams, who was a Super Bowl champion with the Los Angeles Rams.
More moves expected at the Saints
In New Orleans, the offseason is expected to keep delivering news. Despite this addition, the recent signing of Williams, and the acquisition of offensive lineman Will Clapp in free agency, the Saints still need to address the left guard vacancy to strengthen their offensive line.
