Signed a one-year contract with the Saints in July of 2025.
Officially headed to New Orleans
Blackmon and the Saints agreed on a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Blackmon will officially head to New Orleans, helping fill the void in the team's secondary after Tyrann Mathieu retired Tuesday. Blackmon appears to have fully recovered from his offseason shoulder surgery, and he'll now compete with Jonas Sanker and J.T. Gray for the team's starting free safety role. The 26-year-old has recorded 174 combined tackles over the last two years, and he'll look to maintain that level of production with the Saints.

Blackmon tallied career-high marks across the board last season, emerging as one of the more dependable players in the Indianapolis secondary. He racked up 88 tackles (65 solo), eight passes defensed with four interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 15 games. Blackmon missed the last two games of the year due to a shoulder injury, but was back to full speed in spring workouts. He's set to start at strong safety.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May meet Panthers' need
Blackmon might be a good signing for the defense-needy Panthers ahead of training camp, Joseph Person of The Athletic suggests.
ANALYSIS
In breaking down whether the Panthers may have come up short by a player or two in their bid to address their defense this offseason, Person suggests either a defensive lineman or safety might be a missing piece. For the latter need, Person brings up Blackmon, who did visit with Carolina in late March and exceeded 80 tackles in each of the last two seasons while also picking off seven total passes over a 31-game sample with the Colts.
