Signing tight end Juwan Johnson to a two-year, $8.5 million guaranteed contract was one of the best re-signings of the offseason for the New Orleans Saints. His massive increase in production last season was a huge boost to the offense and will hopefully continue into 2023 under new QB Derek Carr.
However, Johnson still has plenty to prove, and there doesn’t seem to be a TE2 on the roster that could realistically step in if Johnson’s production or health falls off.
Luckily, the Saints have great opportunities in both free agency and the NFL Draft to add another piece to the roster.
