Overview
- New Orleans announced the signings of veteran cornerbacks Michael Davis and David Long Jr., bringing two experienced options into the secondary.
- The moves follow the placement of cornerback Rejzohn Wright on injured reserve and the earlier addition of kicker Daniel Carlson, which opened roster space.
- Michael Davis last played for the Saints in 2025, contributed mainly on special teams with four coverage tackles, and ended that season on injured reserve after a shoulder issue.
- David Long Jr. was a 2019 third‑round pick who started Super Bowl LVI for the Rams and brings playoff starting experience despite limited playing time in 2025.
- Both players face a short evaluation window with only one preseason game left and the league’s final 53‑man cutdown approaching, so neither signing guarantees a long‑term roster spot.
