The New Orleans Saints have officially secured their entire 2026 draft class, with second-round pick defensive tackle Christen Miller putting pen to paper on his rookie contract. The deal was finalized just one day after the team locked up seven of their eight draft selections, bringing a close to what had been a brief waiting game for fans and coaches alike.
Miller, a promising interior force selected in the second round, was the final piece of the puzzle to sign. Second-round picks often take a bit longer to finalize due to the higher guaranteed money involved, but the Saints moved quickly to get their young defender under contract. With the deal now done, Day 2 of rookie minicamp can proceed without any lingering uncertainty—a welcome development for a team looking to build depth on the defensive line.
For Saints supporters, this news means the entire rookie class can now focus entirely on football. From the first-round standout to the late-round gems, every player is officially in the fold and ready to compete. As the team gears up for the season ahead, having all draft picks signed early is a sign of smooth operations and a unified vision. Whether you're tracking Miller's development or just love seeing the next generation of Saints gear up, this is a win for the black and gold.
