Overview
- Las Vegas waived Decamerion Richardson and the New Orleans Saints placed a waiver claim that moved him onto their active roster, according to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero.
- Because he was claimed on waivers, Richardson must be carried on the Saints’ 53-man roster rather than being assigned to a practice squad.
- Richardson entered the league as a fourth-round pick by the Raiders in 2024 and has remained on their roster through front-office changes.
- Scouts praise Richardson’s elite athleticism but note persistent questions about his consistency in covering wide receivers, so his playing time will depend on performance.
- The Raiders’ recent addition of Darrell Luter Jr. is cited as a likely reason they waived Richardson instead of attempting to place him on their practice squad.
