Former Saints All-Pro, team captain signs with playoff contender
One of the New Orleans Saints' former All-Pros has landed with a playoff contender. The Philadelphia Eagles are signing special teams ace J. T.
Gray.
2026 has been an intriguing year for NFL free agents, as many of the top names available have ended up on new teams. It has made for a fun process so far, and now, many former New Orleans Saints are getting in on the party, heading to new teams. Notably, Demario Davis going back to the New York Jets is a detriment to the Saints, no doubt, but getting Kaden Elliss back helps.
Cameron Jordan is weighing his options, too. Another former Saint had made the headlines once again, as former All-Pro and team captain J. T.
Gray has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of the 2026 season. Gray, a seven-year veteran of New Orleans, ended up being moved on from last offseason, allowing him to play with the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a total of five games last year. Unfortunately, his role was much more limited compared to his time in New Orleans.
