New Orleans Saints release veteran cornerback Isaac Yiadom during roster cuts

The New Orleans Saints released veteran cornerback Isaac Yiadom on August 30 as the organization reduced its roster to 53 players. Yiadom, 30, returned to the team last offseason after spending the 2024 campaign with the San Francisco 49ers. He previously played for the New Orleans Saints during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Despite being considered a roster lock by local beat reporters, his release enables the team to accommodate younger players in the defensive backfield. Yiadom appeared in 14 games with one start for the team last year, recording 23 tackles and playing a role on special teams. Over his career, he has logged 118 appearances with 34 starts across six different organizations. He is now eligible to sign with any NFL team, though he remains a potential candidate to return to the New Orleans Saints practice squad or active roster later this season.
