Overview
- The Saints have added Jackson Sirmon to their roster as OTAs begin, a reported signing that was first posted by a team beat reporter.
- Sirmon was a first‑team All‑Pac‑12 performer at Cal who went undrafted in 2024 and spent the last two seasons mainly on the New York Jets’ practice squad.
- His NFL game work has been limited and mostly on kick and punt coverage units, which projects him as a special‑teams depth option for New Orleans.
- The signing creates a coach–son pairing because Jackson’s father, Peter Sirmon, is the Saints’ linebackers coach, a storyline likely to draw local and media interest.
- Sirmon will face long odds to make the final roster behind established linebackers, so his immediate impact is expected to be competition in camp and help on special teams.
