Pederson visited with the Saints in recent days.
Pederson, 23, wound up going undrafted out of Louisiana-Monroe this past April. He later signed on with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent.
However, San Francisco opted to waive Pederson on Wednesday.
Pederson is the son of former Eagles HC Doug Pederson.
During his college career at ULM, Pederson caught 99 passes for 1,191 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns over the course of four seasons and 35 games.
