According to Ian Rapoport, the Saints are signing RB Travis Etienne to a contract.
Etienne is from Louisiana and New Orleans had been mentioned as a possibility for him in the last week or so.
Jordan Schultz says it’s a four-year deal for $52 million, working out to $13 million per year.
Etienne, 27, was a three-year starter at Clemson and a first-team All-American in his final three seasons. The Jaguars used the No. 25 overall pick in the first round on him in 2021.
Etienne signed a four-year, $12,898,105 rookie contract with the Jaguars that included a $6,740,440 signing bonus. The Jaguars exercised his fifth-year option worth $6.143 million guaranteed for the 2025 season.
He’s slated to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.
In 2025, Etienne appeared in all 17 games for the Jaguars and rushed 260 times for 1,107 yards (4.3 YPC) and seven touchdowns, adding 36 receptions on 52 targets for 292 yards and another six touchdowns.
