Saints Lock in Edwards, Eye Bisontis for Draft

0:00It's April 3rd. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. The New Orleans Saints just locked in former Buffalo Bill's guard, David Edwards, with a 4-year, $61 million dollar contract, beefing up their offensive line. But they're not done yet, eyeing the 2026 NFL Draft for more guard talent, with Texas A&M's chased by Sontas looking like a prime, target around their 42nd overall pick. By Sontas, a 21-year-old from Ramsey, New Jersey, balled out for three seasons with the Aggies, snagging first team all SEC honors as a freshman in 2023 and third team last year. In his latest campaign, he gave up just 12 pressures and one sack over 441 pass blocking snaps. At the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, this 6-foot-5, 315-pound beast measured up with solid arm length and hand size. Loading a total score of 77-4th best among guards, plus top marks in athleticism at 81.

1:06Scouts love his physicality, strong hands, and footwork that moves defenders in the run game, fitting both zone and power schemes. Pass protection has some hesitation, but NFL coaching could sharpen that edge. If the Saints grab him, by Sontas slides in a scout team depth behind Edwards and center sees a Ruiz, building toward a bigger role as he adapts to pro speed. Keep watching this draft class, it could solidify their line for years.
