3 veteran Saints defenders who could be surprise roster cuts
These New Orleans Saints veterans could be among the NFL's surprise cuts over the weekend. They need to finish the summer strong.
As the New Orleans Saints prepare to finalize their roster, several veteran defenders may face unexpected cuts. Jordan Howden, a top special teams contributor over his three seasons with the team, has struggled defensively, accumulating only 2 interceptions, 7 pass breakups, a fumble return for a touchdown, 1 sack, and 2 tackles for loss.
Injuries to his coverage consistency have left him with only 25% of the team's defensive snaps in 2025. Isaac Yiadom, another veteran, could also find himself in similar circumstances after starting last season but being replaced by Quincy Riley following ineffective play. Yiadom has seen minimal defensive action over the past year.
Tyree Wilson, a first-year player acquired in a trade, has yet to prove his worth in practices or preseason games, leading to speculation that he may not make the team.
