The Broncos are bringing in the veteran running back Ahmed after he spent four years in Miami. Ahmed’s biggest role came in four starts as an undrafted rookie back in 2020 in which he rushed for 319 yards and three touchdowns over six games. He served as a reliable backup for the Dolphins for the past few years.

The Chargers released Jefferson yesterday, but they’ll keep him around on the practice squad with today’s signing. The veteran adds some quality depth to the roster.

Saints Place RB Kendre Miller On IR, Reduce Squad To 53

A host of vested vets are off the Saints’ roster, and Miller will be for a stretch as well. Miller has been down with a hamstring injury for several weeks, suffering the setback minutes into the team’s initial training camp workout. This lingering into the regular season is a concerning development for both parties. Hamstring trouble limited Miller late last summer as well. The Saints still roster Jamaal Williams behind Alvin Kamara, but they used a third-round pick on Miller last year. The TCU alum logged 41 carries as a rookie, but a new OC (Klint Kubiak) is now calling the shots.

Kpassagnon sustained an Achilles tear early this offseason, and he will miss at least four games. Rookie UDFA Mason Tipton made the roster over St. Brown, while offseason pickup Will Harris secured a spot over Abram. The Saints kept Lucas Patrick and Oli Udoh over Davis and Lemieux, who had been attempting to bounce back from an injury-plagued Giants tenure.

Saints Sign 16 UDFAs

May 2nd, 2024 at 8:34pm CST by Ben Levine

After adding seven rookies in last weekend’s draft, the Saints have added a long list of undrafted free agents to their roster. The team announced the signing of 16 UDFAs:

  • Kyler Baugh, DT (Minnesota)
  • Millard Bradford, S (TCU)
  • Matthew Hayball, P (Vanderbilt)
  • Sincere Haynesworth, C (Tulane)
  • Kyle Hergel, G (Boston College)
  • Dallin Holker, TE (Colorado State)
  • Jermaine Jackson, WR (Idaho)
  • Trajan Jeffcoat, DE (Arkansas)
  • Lawrence Johnson, DB (SE Missouri St.)
  • Jacob Kibodi, RB (LA Lafayette)
  • Nate Latu, DE (Oklahoma State)
  • Nouri Nouili, G (Nebraska)
  • Rico Payton, CB (Pittsburgh State)
  • Kyle Sheets, WR (Slippery Rock)
  • Isaiah Stalbird, LB (South Dakota State)
  • Mason Tipton, WR (Yale)

Jermaine Jackson got $160K in guaranteed money to catch on with the Saints, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. After finishing the 2022 campaign with more than 1,000 receiving yards, the Idaho product was limited to only 593 yards in 2023. However, he took on a larger special teams role, returning 18 kickoffs and 18 punts (including two punt returns for touchdowns). He’ll join a rookie receiver class that also includes fifth-round pick Bub Means and UDFA Kyle Sheets.

Isaiah Stalbird also got a significant payment from the Saints. Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston reports that the linebacker got a $10K signing bonus plus $100K in guaranteed salary. The SDSU standout finished his college career with 80 tackles, three sacks, and five pass breakups in 2023, and he also drew the eye of scouts during his Pro Day (which likely explains the lofty guarantees). The Saints used a fifth-round pick on Texas LB Jaylan Ford.
