Saints Shake Up Kicking Game; Wright Out for 2026
Saints sign kicker Daniel Carlson for competition; Rejzohn Wright sidelined for 2026.
The New Orleans Saints have signed two-time All-Pro kicker Daniel Carlson to compete with Charlie Smyth for the starting kicker position. This move adds serious competition for the kickers heading into the season. Additionally, Saints cornerback and special teams contributor Rejzohn Wright will miss the entire 2026 season due to a hip injury, which is a significant loss for New Orleans' special teams. Kellen Moore expressed a desire for leadership and regulation in the league, suggesting changes may be on the horizon.
