The New Orleans Saints have re-signed offensive lineman Dillon Radunz to a two-year deal.<\/p>\n
Radunz, 27, signed with the Saints during the 2025 offseason. The former second-round pick played in 15 games with New Orleans, starting in 10. Radunz\u2019s 2025 season with the Saints was up-and-down, and he logged a poor 48.5 overall grade from PFF, ranking 75th out of 81 guards. He was much better in pass blocking; however, ranking 31st.<\/p>\n
Radunz is the second Saints\u2019 move on the offensive line so far this offseason. New Orleans signed guard David Edwards to a four-year deal worth $61 million.<\/p>\n
While the specifics of the deal haven\u2019t been revealed, Radunz\u2019s resignation opens up an interesting decision for the Saints with Cesar Ruiz. The former first-round pick has been inconsistent in his career, and his $11 million per year hasn\u2019t felt warranted.<\/p>\n
If New Orleans is content with starting Radunz, they could look to trade Ruiz, as a cut would lose them money in 2026 or push $9 million into 2027 if they designate him as a post-June 1st cut.<\/p>\n
At worst, the Saints signed Radunz to a value deal, and he\u2019ll work as offensive line depth. New Orleans has dealt with offensive line injuries a lot in recent seasons and Radunz could be insurance in case more injuries occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New Orleans Saints have re-signed offensive lineman Dillon Radunz to a two-year deal.
