The New Orleans Saints have agreed to four-year contracts with former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. and former Bills guard David Edwards, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Etienne, a Louisiana native, will receive a $52 million deal while Edwards gets a $61 million contract.

Etienne, 27, had his best NFL season in 2024, rushing for 1,107 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns. The fifth-year pro from Clemson totaled 3,798 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns in four seasons with Jacksonville after being drafted 25th overall in 2021. His production dipped in 2024 as Tank Bigsby emerged as the Jaguars' top back.

Edwards, who turns 29 next week, spent the past three seasons with Buffalo after five years with the Rams. The fifth-round pick out of Wisconsin has been a reliable starter, missing no games with injury while in Buffalo. His addition gives the Saints a veteran presence on their offensive line.
