On the first day of the new league year, the Saints moved quickly to rebuild their D-Line by signing a pair of defensive tackles. New Orleans has reportedly signed Kansas City’s Khalen Saunders and the New York Jets’ Nathan Shepherd. Shepherd is 29-years-old and appeared in 73 games in five seasons with the Jets. Last year he had a career-high in tackles. While Saunders is 26 years old and in 2022 he had 3.5 sacks and also had a sack in K-C’s Super Bowl victory over the Eagles.

New Orleans has also reportedly signed free agent running back Jamaal Williams, who led the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns last season. Williams also rushed for 1,066 yards for the Lions last season. The Black and Gold needed a running back as Alvin Kamara likely faces a suspension if he’s convicted of beating up a man last year in February.

In other NFC South Moves, the Bucs have reportedly signed quarterback Baker Mayfield, while running back Myles Sanders is heading to Carolina.
