Saints Sign Veteran Long Snapper Cal Adomitis
The move provides experienced short-term snapper depth during Zach Wood’s recovery from a practice injury.
Overview
- Zach Wood suffered a practice injury and was placed on injured reserve earlier this week, forcing the Saints to replace a long-time specialist.
- Scott Daly filled in for Wood and snapped in New Orleans’ Week 2 win before the Chicago Bears signed him to their 53-man roster.
- The Saints signed Cal Adomitis on Tuesday, Sept. 22, to take over long-snapping duties after Daly’s departure.
- Adomitis is a 28-year-old journeyman who earned All-ACC honors at Pitt, has been in the NFL since 2022 with multiple team stops, and has 58 regular-season games and three playoff appearances.
- Maintaining clean snaps is vital for punts and placekicks, so the signing is a short-term bid to preserve special-teams continuity and gives the Saints time to let Wood heal while journeyman players seek opportunities elsewhere.
