Juwan Johnson agrees to three-year deal with Saints

Tight end Juwan Johnson has agreed to a three-year contract with the New Orleans Saints worth over $30 million, as announced by his agent AJ Vaynerchuk. Johnson, who played all 17 games in the 2024 season, set career highs with 50 receptions and 548 receiving yards, along with three touchdowns. Originally signed as an undrafted rookie in 2020, Johnson transitioned from wide receiver to tight end, and has since accumulated 146 receptions for 1,622 yards and 18 touchdowns over five seasons. The deal comes as several Saints players restructured their contracts to create salary cap space. Johnson was one of the top free-agent tight ends this offseason after his impressive performance last season.
