Kaden Elliss seen as key underappreciated addition for Saints

The New Orleans Saints have strengthened their roster this offseason, with particular attention on linebacker Kaden Elliss. Returning to New Orleans on a three-year, $33 million contract, Elliss is noted for his performance in Atlanta. He ranks fifth among all linebackers in PFF Wins Above Replacement over the last three seasons. With a high percentage of his contributions coming as a pass-rusher, Elliss is expected to play a significant role in the Saints' defense in 2026, potentially enhancing their blitz packages. His development could be crucial for the Saints as they aim for improvement following the loss of veteran Demario Davis.
