The New Orleans Saints have re-signed veteran wide receiver Dante Pettis to a one-year deal, bringing him back after a promising stint on the practice squad last season. Pettis showcased his potential during his eight appearances, tallying 12 receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown, which puts him on track for a productive season should he maintain that form.

At 29 years old, Pettis is expected to play a key role in the return game, especially with Rashid Shaheed facing injury challenges. His experience and skills on special teams may solidify his position as the team’s primary return specialist. While his base salary is relatively modest at $1,170,000, with a roster bonus bringing his total earnings to $1,337,000, Pettis represents a valuable asset as the Saints look to enhance their offensive and special teams units this season.
