Saints sign cornerback Mike Reid, waive Beanie Bishop ahead of training camp

Summary

The New Orleans Saints announced the signing of former Carolina Panthers cornerback Mike Reid and the waiving of Beanie Bishop on July 28, 2026, as players report for training camp. Reid, who is 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, offers size and potential but lacks regular-season experience. He will compete for a reserve role and special-teams opportunities. Bishop, who had displayed promising performances with Pittsburgh in 2024, was released to make room for Reid, indicating a shift in the team’s cornerback evaluation strategy. Additionally, the Saints placed four players on injury lists as camp begins.
