Saints Sign Justin Reid and Chase Young

The New Orleans Saints have signed former Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid to a three-year, $31.5 million contract, with $22.25 million in guaranteed money, marking a significant acquisition for their secondary. Reid, a Louisiana native, returns home after a tenure with the Chiefs, where he was instrumental in winning two Super Bowls and appeared in a third, compiling 265 tackles, three interceptions, and four sacks over 49 games. His addition comes as the Saints also rework contracts and secure other free agents, despite facing salary cap challenges. Reid's versatility extends beyond defense, having served as an emergency kicker for the Chiefs, though it's unclear if the Saints will utilize him in this capacity. The Saints now boast a secondary featuring both Reid and Tyrann Mathieu, aiming to leverage their championship experience. This move follows the Saints' active free agency period, which included re-signing key players and acquiring defensive end Chase Young.
