NEW ORLEANS, LA - In a move aimed at bolstering depth and versatility at tight end, the New Orleans Saints officially signed former Arlington Renegades tight end Seth Green to a one-year contract. The announcement, part of a flurry of roster moves on June 20, also included cornerback Jayden Price and offensive tackle Barry Wesley.
From UFL to NFL Opportunity
Green, a 27-year-old tight end, spent the past two seasons (2024-25) with the UFL's Arlington Renegades. Over 20 games-eight as a starter-he amassed 24 receptions for 236 yards and two touchdowns. In 2025 alone, he recorded 13 catches for 159 yards and one score, earning recognition as the Renegades' "Sportsman of the Year" nominee for his leadership and community engagement.
A Multi-Faceted Background
Originally a wildcat quarterback at Minnesota (2017-2020), Green rushed for 388 yards and 15 touchdowns before transitioning to tight end with Houston in 2021, where he posted 13 catches for 157 yards and three touchdowns. Undrafted in 2022, he signed briefly with the Texans and later joined the Cowboys' practice squad and offseason roster, though he did not appear in a regular-season game.
A Fit for the Saints' Offense
Green is seen as a versatile chess piece in New Orleans' offensive system, especially with Taysom Hill's knee injury opening roster flexibility for players who can contribute in multiple roles. Standing 6-foot‑4 and 255 pounds, Green's unique skill set-receiving ability, rushing option, and football IQ from his quarterback background-makes him a strategic asset amid the Saints' tight-end mix.
What This Means for Training Camp
Saints Executive Vice President/GM Mickey Loomis confirmed Green's signing, as the team continues trimming down its roster. With competition brewing at tight end, plus Price and Wesley joining, these UFL acquisitions will face off in camp for key roles on offense and special teams.
Looking Ahead
Green will be one of 90 players enrolled in training camp this summer, vying to climb the depth chart behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, and others. His success this spring in the UFL and versatility make him one to watch as New Orleans looks to reinforce its aerial attack and red-zone efficiency.
