Saints sign Mike Reid, waive Beanie Bishop before training camp

Summary

The New Orleans Saints are revamping their secondary by signing cornerback Mike Reid and waiving Beanie Bishop just ahead of training camp. Reid, a 24-year-old undrafted free agent, was recently released by the Carolina Panthers. He has yet to play in a regular-season game but showed promise during his college career at South Dakota. Bishop, who had a successful rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, joins the list of players who will not be retained. His recent suspension for the first three games of the 2026 season likely influenced the decision to make a change.
