Saints re-sign Clyde Edwards-Helaire to one-year contract

By Ross Jackson

On the day the New Orleans Saints announced their new head coach, Kellen Moore, they also brought back a familiar face in former LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. 

The team announced via press release on Thursday afternoon that Edwards-Helaire has been re-signed to a one-year contract. 

The former LSU Tiger back joined the team over the closing weeks of the 2024 season. He appeared in two games, carrying the ball 13 times for 46 rushing yards. He also added a pair of receptions for 10 yards. Following his first game with the Saints last year, the Baton Rouge native spoke exclusively with LouisianaSports.Net about the opportunity, calling it a dream come true. That dream now has the potential to extend for another season.

Edwards-Helaire is entering the sixth year of his NFL career and will now do so with a full offseason in New Orleans, learning Mooore’s new system. Over his career, Edwards-Helaire has totaled 1,891 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, and has added 92 receptions for 789 receiving yards and seven touchdown receptions.
