  "account": "During the New Orleans Saints' preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, two ex-Saints wide receivers were undergoing tryouts for another AFC South squad. The Indianapolis Colts, the team's AFC South rival, signed three free agents on Saturday, with two of them having ties to the Saints organization.\n\nOne of those players was Equanimeous St. Brown, who joined the Saints in 2024 and temporarily played for their practice squad. He is best known for being the inaugural wearer of Michael Thomas's beloved No. 13 jersey and for enduring a dunk by Tyler Shough on his podcast.\n\nAnother former Saint was Tre Quan Smith, who was selected by the Colts in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Smith is famous for catching a record-breaking touchdown pass from Drew Brees during his rookie season.\n\nThe Colts also brought in former Los Angeles Rams draft pick Josh Reynolds for a tryout. It remains to be seen if Reynolds, Smith, or St. Brown will find themselves catching passes for the Indianapolis Colts in the near future.",
