2026 has been a big opportunity for the New Orleans Saints, as they have finally found some cap space to work with, allowing them to bring in some crucial free agents. This has applied heavily to the offense so far, and the defense has been somewhat quiet, with Demario Davis and Alontae Taylor on their way out.
One of the biggest changes of the entire offseason, though, happened on special teams, with the Saints finally bringing in a veteran punter who has proven experience at the NFL level, rather than just repeatedly supplementing it with undrafted free agents. This is a huge positive for New Orleans, as two of its four special teams positions have undergone a change since 2025.
Here is how things currently stack up with their special teams starters, based on how the roster is constructed pre-draft.
