The New Orleans Saints announced on Tuesday that the 30-year-old has joined their coaching staff as an offensive assistant. He'll be back with the pros in 2026. Klapp returned to the Saints last offseason as a free agent after playing the 2024 season with the Buffalo Bills. The things took a turn when he suffered at least front injury in their first preseason game. That kept him out for the rest of 2025. He made his retirement official last week. Earlier in his career, Klapp was the seventh round pick by the Saints back in 2018. He went on to play in 66 games with 22 starts across three teams. Fans and the team see this as a smooth transition for Klapp. His time on the offensive line gives him real insight to share with younger players. It's a homecoming story that keeps his expertise in New Orleans. Meanwhile, the Saints are building their staff ahead of next season.
