Radunz, 27, signed with the Saints during the 2025 offseason. The former second-round pick played in 15 games with New Orleans, starting in 10. Radunz's 2025 season with the Saints was up-and-down, and he logged a poor 48.5 overall grade from PFF, ranking 75th out of 81 guards. He was much better in pass blocking; however, ranking 31st.

Radunz is the second Saints' move on the offensive line so far this offseason. New Orleans signed guard David Edwards to a four-year deal worth $61 million.

While the specifics of the deal haven't been revealed, Radunz's resignation opens up an interesting decision for the Saints with Cesar Ruiz. The former first-round pick has been inconsistent in his career, and his $11 million per year hasn't felt warranted.

If New Orleans is content with starting Radunz, they could look to trade Ruiz, as a cut would lose them money in 2026 or push $9 million into 2027 if they designate him as a post-June 1st cut.

At worst, the Saints signed Radunz to a value deal, and he'll work as offensive line depth. New Orleans has dealt with offensive line injuries a lot in recent seasons and Radunz could be insurance in case more injuries occur.
