New Orleans Saints Host Free Agent Tryouts

The New Orleans Saints conducted tryouts for a significant number of free agents on Friday, evaluating various players for potential contracts.

Among those participating, linebacker Deion Jones is expected to be signed by the Saints. Jones, a former second-round draft pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2016, has had a notable career, including a four-year contract extension worth $57 million with $34 million guaranteed.

Jones has experienced multiple team changes, including a trade to the Cleveland Browns and a brief stint with the Carolina Panthers, where he was released after training camp. He later joined the practice squad and was called up, before signing with the Buffalo Bills and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he played all 17 games in 2025, recording 29 tackles.
