With the 2026 NFL Draft already over one week in the rearview mirror, there's a growing sentiment that the New Orleans Saints made several winning draft picks as they gear up for the future. Now, as the team shifts its focus towards OTAs and training camp, general manager Mickey Loomis has over $10 million in cap space to work with, and there are several veteran players that the team could target Gabe Davis, WR (27) Davis’s past two seasons have been defined by a grueling recovery from consecutive knee injuries. After a torn meniscus ended his 2024 campaign in Week 11, he returned for a productive five-game stretch with the Buffalo Bills in 2025, only to suffer a torn ACL during the Wild Card round.

He started in 13 games with the Miami Dolphins last season, earning a 72.

6 Pro Football Focus coverage grade, which ranked No. 24 out of 114 eligible cornerbacks. -- Arye Pulli Cameron Jordan, EDGE (36) You can't mention the Saints' free agency options without bringing up Jordan, who was drafted by the team in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft and has spent 15 seasons in New Orleans.
