Saints' Safety Corps Strengthens
About this episode
The New Orleans Saints safety position underwent a significant overhaul in 2025, with the departure of key players and the arrival of new faces. The trio of Justin Reid, Julian Blackmon, and Terrell Burgess, along with rookie Jonas Sanker, formed a solid foundation by the end of the season. Despite Reids slow start and Blackmons injury, the group showed promise. With Alontae Taylor potentially leaving, the Saints may look for a versatile cover safety in free agency or the draft. Intriguing options include Jaquan Brisker, Coby Bryant, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. However, the secondary is young and talented, so the Saints might not make significant moves in free agency, focusing instead on other positions or drafting for depth.

They lost starters, tiramato, and will Harris, plus special teams stand out. J.T. Gray, in-came free agents, Justin Reed, Julian Blackman, and Terrell Burgess, along with third-round rookie Jonas Sanker. That group formed a solid foundation by seasons in. Reed started slow, but picked up's theme late in the year. Blackman missed most of the season with an injury right out of the gate, while Burgess stuck mainly to special teams. Sanker filled in nicely and impressed enough to secure his spot. The Saints moved fast to resign Blackman, showing their confidence in the trio. With cornerback Alente Taylor hitting free agency, the team might need a versatile cover safety over a pure corner. Taylor shines in a hybrid role, so his potential exit could shift priorities. Still, the Reed, Sanker, and Blackman Corps feel strong enough that safety isn't a top

Kobe Bryant, also 27, brings corner safety flexibility with seven interceptions over two years from Seattle Super Bowl run. Others include Nick Scott for Traditional Play, Christian Easian from Tampa Bay, C.J., Gardener Johnson with his playmaking past in New Orleans, and a low-heed Gilman, overall the Saints' secondary is young and talented, so they might skip big free agent spending here.
