Saints Secure Edwards-Helaire: New Deal Seals RB’s Future in New Orleans!
The New Orleans Saints have officially locked in running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire with a new contract after a brief but impactful stint in 2024. The former Kansas City Chiefs first-round pick joined the Saints earlier in the year, looking to revitalize his career, and clearly, the team saw enough potential to keep him around.
Edwards-Helaire, known for his versatility and pass-catching ability, adds valuable depth to the Saints’ backfield alongside Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. While injuries and inconsistency hampered his time in Kansas City, his short time in New Orleans showcased his ability to contribute in both the rushing and receiving game.
The details of the contract haven’t been fully disclosed, but sources indicate it’s a short-term deal with incentives based on performance. The move signals the Saints’ confidence in Edwards-Helaire as a reliable offensive weapon heading into the new season.
With New Orleans looking to make a serious playoff push, having a dynamic back like Edwards-Helaire could be a game-changer. His ability to make defenders miss and create plays in the open field makes him a perfect fit for the Saints’ offensive scheme.
As the team gears up for the 2025 season, fans will be eager to see if Edwards-Helaire can finally live up to his first-round potential and become a key piece of the Saints’ offense.
