Donovan Peoples-Jones: Breaking News

Let go by Saints

Peoples-Jones was released by the Saints on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Peoples-Jones was let go one day after the Saints traded for fellow wide receiver Devaughn Vele. Peoples-Jones last suited up for a regular-season NFL game in 2023 with the Lions. He had 839 receiving yards with the Browns in 2022.

Signs with Saints

Peoples-Jones agreed to terms Monday on a contract with New Orleans, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Peoples-Jones spent time on the Lions' practice squad in 2024, but he hasn't logged a regular-season appearance since 2023, when he suited up for eight games with Detroit. Top wideouts Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee), Brandin Cooks and Bub Means all missed time due to injuries last season, making wide receiver depth a key area of need for the Saints. In the wake of Derek Carr (shoulder) retiring, Peoples-Jones will have the opportunity to build chemistry with all of Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.
