Rookie contracts have started rolling in for the New Orleans Saints as they signed six of their nine 2025 draft picks just ahead of rookie minicamp. This group includes their top pick, Kelvin Banks Jr., who secured a fully guaranteed four-year contract worth $27.73 million, highlighted by a $16.8 million signing bonus. Alongside Banks, linebacker Danny Stutsman, cornerback Quincy Riley, running back Devin Neal, tight end Moliki Matavao, and edge rusher Fadil Diggs also inked their deals.

With just three picks remaining to sign, the Saints are navigating a familiar challenge in securing contracts for their second and third rounders: quarterback Tyler Shough, defensive tackle Vernon Broughton, and safety Jonas Sanker. Historically, the second-round negotiations often lead to a prolonged signing process, a trend the Saints bucked last year by signing their second-round selection, Kool-Aid McKinstry, earlier than usual. The Saints aim to finalize these remaining contracts promptly to prevent distractions during the offseason.
