Saints Choose Cade York After Tryout, Leave Justin Tucker Unsigned

New Orleans chose the younger option after evaluating the position following Tucker’s first post-suspension workout on allegations he disputes.

Overview

  • Cade York is signing to the Saints’ practice squad after a strong workout, according to multiple reports including NFL Network and NewOrleans.Football.
  • The team is releasing kicker Blake Grupe after he went 18-for-26 on field goals this season and missed two attempts in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.
  • Justin Tucker worked out for the first time since serving a 10-game suspension under the NFL personal conduct policy tied to claims from 16 massage therapists, which he has denied.
  • Head coach Kellen Moore said the team would evaluate the football aspect and everything else, referencing Tucker’s past leadership and acknowledging the broader context.
  • Teams assessing Tucker face a calculus between his elite career résumé and a sharp 2024 decline to 73.3% on field goals, with no criminal charges or known civil suits reported.
