Reported deal with ex-Patriot and Saints trade with Raiders likely means legend’s 15-year career in New Orleans is done

The New Orleans Saints signed former New England Patriots and Alabama Crimson Tide pass rusher Anfernee Jennings fresh off a Super Bowl appearance.

The Saints made their second veteran addition to their pass-rushing group, signing former Patriots LB Anfernee Jennings.

Former New England Patriots pass rusher Anfernee Jennings is signing with the New Orleans Saints, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Sunday.

The New England Patriots saw a key defender leave for the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon, according to multiple reports.

Anfernee Jennings has found a new home for the 2026 NFL season. The veteran edge rusher signed with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported. Terms of the deal are unknown at this time.

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis said last week that the results of the draft could factor into whether defensive end Cam Jordan returned to the team in 2026, but a couple of moves involving veterans might have more of an impact.

A former Alabama LB who won two national championships and appeared in Super Bowl LX will reportedly have a new home in 2026.
