The UFL special teams player of the year is now a member of the Saints. New Orleans announced the signing of kicker Tanner Brown on Wednesday. Brown won the award while helping Louisville to a league title and he became the first pro kicker in any league to hit a pair of field goals from at least 60 yards in one game. The Saints also signed quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Jalen Moreno-Cropper. They played together for Houston during the 2026 UFL season and Dekkers spent last season on the practice squad in New Orleans. Moreno-Cropper played in three games for the Cowboys last season. Defensive tackle Coziah Izzard, cornerback Dashawn Jones, kicker Mason Shipley, and wide receiver Damien Alford were waived in corresponding moves.
