Overview

  • The team announced on March 3 that former lineman Will Clapp has joined Kellen Moore’s staff as an offensive assistant, days after his Feb. 25 retirement.
  • Clapp was a 2018 seventh-round pick by New Orleans and appeared in 34 games with seven starts during his first stint with the Saints.
  • His seven-year NFL career totaled 66 games and 22 starts, including later stops with the Chargers and Bills.
  • He re-signed with the Saints for 2025 but suffered a preseason foot injury that led to season-ending injured reserve and his decision to retire.
  • Reporting indicates he is expected to assist with the offensive line as the Saints develop young blockers such as Taliese Fuaga and Kelvin Banks Jr.
