The New Orleans Saints have announced their 10-player undrafted free agency (UDFA) class for 2026. With rookie minicamps on the way in May, these players will help to fill out the team’s 90-man roster and get a chance to showcase their potential ahead of OTA practices and eventually training camp.
The Saints have a rich history of successful UDFA additions over the course of their franchise’s history. This new crop of players will hope to continue that success.
- Ohio State RB CJ Donaldson
- North Carolina State TE Cody Hardy
- Maryland T Alan Herron
- Central Michigan DE Mike Heldman
- Alabama CB Dashawn Jones
- Southern Illinois CB Jeremiah McClendon
- USC NT Keeshawn Silver
- Texas K Mason Shipley
- Wisconsin DT Jay’Viar Suggs
- Kentucky T Alex Wollschlaeger
The Saints have also reportedly invited North Carolina state punter Caden Noonkester and Memphis linebacker Sam Brumfield to attend rookie minicamp. These invites are not official signings, but tryout opportunities for the players. Prospects may accept invites to multiple minicamps.
