IRVINE, Calif. -- The New Orleans Saints have signed linebacker Pete Werner to a three-year contract extension worth more than $25 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal has $17.5 million in guaranteed money and ties Werner to the Saints through the 2027 season.
The Saints, who hosted free agent safety Justin Simmons for a visit on Wednesday, had about $14 million in available cap space for the 2024 season prior to the move.
This is the first contract extension for Werner, who was selected by the Saints in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft out of Ohio State.
