The 28-year-old follows within the footsteps of his teammate and fellow Louisiana native, veteran security Tyrann Mathieu, as each went from being teammates on the Houston Texans to profitable a Tremendous Bowl in Kansas Metropolis (Reid twice, Mathieu as soon as) earlier than heading to the Huge Straightforward to rep the black and gold.

Reid completed the 2024 marketing campaign with 70 solo tackles (15 assists), 32 stops, 6 complete pressures, 3 go breakups, 2 interceptions, and 1 go batted on the line of scrimmage.

It is a big enhance to the New Orleans secondary and fills a big gap with Will Harris departing to the Washington Commanders on a two-year, $8 million deal. I’d even go so far as saying they’ve discovered a strategy to improve the place.

I’d nonetheless wish to see the Saints add a cornerback, and somebody to regulate is former Los Angeles Chargers CB Asante Samuel Jr. He’s simply 25 years previous and already has expertise in DC Brandon Staley’s 3-4 scheme. Asante might be an ideal match subsequent to Kool-Assist McKinstry and Alontae Taylor.
