Saints Eye College Talent for Edge Rusher

0:00It's April 3rd. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The New Orleans Saints beefed up their defense by bringing back linebacker Caden Ellis after Demario Davis jumped to the jets. But they still got a big gap at edge rusher, where Cam Jordan has ruled for almost a decade. Instead of chasing vets and free agency, the team is eyeing college talent. Late March reports had them deep in talks with Texas A&M, defensive tackle Tyler Oniadim at his pro day. The 225 pounder flew under the radar at the combine, but balled out his senior year with 49 tackles, 9.54, loss, and 3.56. Fans in the big easy, absolutely adore Cam Jordan, and word of him possibly leaving has them heartbroken. Plenty hope the Saints can lock him down long term, maybe even let him retire with the Huda Nation. Rumor swirl that Oniadim might land with the chiefs in Kansas City. The bingles could jump in too, especially after shipping out Trey Hendrixen to the Cowboys.

1:03Even if the Saints snag Oniadim in the draft, it'll take time for him to bulk up that edge presence in gel with the squad, keeping the pressure on as. They rebuild.
