Ian Rapoport reports that the Saints are re-signing DT John Ridgeway to a two-year deal worth $6.2 million.
Ridgeway, 26, transferred to Arkansas after four years at Illinois State, where he was twice named to the all-conference team. The Cowboys used a fifth-round pick on him in the 2022 draft.
He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $3,902,551, including a signing bonus of $242,551. However, Dallas opted to waive him as a rookie, and he was claimed by the Commanders.
The Saints traded a 2025 sixth-round pick to Washington in exchange for Ridgeway and a 2025 seventh-round pick back in August of 2024.
In 2025, Ridgeway appeared in four games for the Saints and made two starts, recording 11 tackles.
