The New Orleans Saints are wasting no time getting their 2026 rookie class locked in and ready to go. Just ahead of Friday's rookie minicamp, the team announced that seven of their eight draft picks have officially signed their rookie contracts—a strong signal that the front office is focused on building for the future.

Headlining the group is first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, who inked a fully-guaranteed four-year deal worth $32.97 million. That's a major vote of confidence in the explosive playmaker, and Saints fans should be thrilled to see him hit the field with his paperwork already in order.

Joining Tyson under contract are tight end Oscar Delp, guard Jeremiah Wright, wide receiver Bryce Lance, safety Lorenzo Styles Jr., wide receiver Barion Brown, and cornerback TJ Hall. That's a solid mix of offensive weapons and defensive depth, giving the coaching staff plenty to work with as minicamp gets underway.

The only holdout? Second-round pick Christian Miller. While it's not unusual for second-round selections to take a bit longer—agents often push for larger guarantees, especially after last year's trend of fully guaranteed deals for second-rounders like Jayden Higgins (Texans) and Carson Schwesinger (Browns)—there's no reason for alarm. These negotiations are part of the modern NFL landscape, and both sides have plenty of incentive to get a deal done soon.

For Saints fans, this is an exciting moment. Rookie minicamp is the first real glimpse at the next generation of black and gold, and with seven of eight picks already signed, the focus can stay on football. Whether you're stocking up on new Saints gear or just counting down to kickoff, the future is looking bright in New Orleans.
