The New Orleans Saints added cornerback Decamerion Richardson to their roster Monday after claiming him off waivers. The move follows the decision by the Las Vegas Raiders to waive the second-year defensive back. Richardson originally entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft choice by the Raiders in 2024. During his rookie season, he appeared in seven games as a starter but saw limited action on the defensive side of the ball, logging only 13 snaps. He remained a contributor on special teams, recording 204 snaps in that capacity throughout the 2025 campaign. Richardson enters the Saints organization with a career total of 57 tackles and three passes defensed.
