The New Orleans Saints are adding another player to a crowded tight end position. On Wednesday morning, Nick Underhill of neworleans.football was the first to report that the Saints are signing tight end Seth Green.

New Orleans brought Green in for a workout during last week’s minicamp. Financial terms of his contract were not immediately available, but it will be a one year deal. The Saints already signed running back Cam Akers last week after his minicamp workout with the team.

Green, 27, played as a tight end and fullback at the University of Houston after transferring from the University Minnesota. He was with the Golden Gophers from 2016 to 2020 and had 6 receptions for 83 yards while adding 388 yards and 13 touchdowns as a runner. During his only season with the Cougars in 2021, Green caught 13 passes for 157 yards and 3 scores.

Not selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, Green was signed by the Houston Texans but was released at the end of training camp. He was with the Dallas Cowboys during 2023 training camp but again was released.

Green was selected by the Arlington Renegades during the 2024 UFL Draft. He’s been with the Renegades for the last two seasons. Over that span he has 24 receptions for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Listed at 6’4″ and 240-Lbs., Seth Green brings the versatility of an in-line tight end, big slot receiver, and fullback to New Orleans. Green will also face stiff competition for a roster spot with the Saints.

New Orleans re-signed starting tight end Juwan Johnson to a three-year contract extension this offseason. The Saints also return Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill as well as 2024 practice squad tight ends Dallin Holker and Michael Jacobson. Additionally, New Orleans also drafted UCLA TE Moliki Matavao in the seventh round and added free agents Jack Stoll and Treyton Welch to the position.

Seth Green joins a crowded tight end room in New Orleans. However, both Moreau and Hill have yet to return from season-ending injuries and won’t be available until well into training camp. As a result, Green and the others at tight end will have their opportunity to catch the attention of the coaches early in camp to enhance their chances for a roster spot.
