It’s been a hectic two weeks for the New Orleans Saints in free agency, and it sure looks like we’re in for more of the same this time next year. At least 33 players are entering the final year of their contracts with the Saints in 2023. For many players, that’s going to be motivation to play their best football in hopes of earning an extension.
Many of these 2024 free agents were just signed to one-year deals in recent days and weeks, and they’ll be up for similar offers again. Others are former Saints draft picks or free agent acquisitions hoping to close out their career in black and gold. It shouldn’t shock anyone if a couple of players sign extensions before the 2023 season kicks off. It’ll also be easy for the Saints to retain many of these pending free agents thanks to their restricted or exclusive rights status.
