April 2, 2026, 4:55 a.m. CT

We’re getting closer to the start of the 2026 NFL Draft than the start of free agency, and the New Orleans Saints are adjusting their plans accordingly. Coaches and scouts have been busy on the pro day circuit. Household names like Cameron Jordan and Taysom Hill are busy mulling their futures.

But there are still a good number of former Saints players waiting for a phone call in free agency. Two of them were taken off the market since we last surveyed the group, with defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard joining the Dallas Cowboys and defensive back Terrell Burgess re-signing with the Saints. That leaves seven players still looking for work in free agency. Here’s the list:
