Christen Miller, a second-round pick from Georgia, signed a four-year contract with the New Orleans Saints worth $11.8 million. He is currently managing a minor injury but is expected to recover soon.
The New Orleans Saints completed their rookie class by signing two Georgia Bulldogs. They agreed to terms on Oscar Delp earlier in the week, and on May 9, they signed second-round 2026 NFL draft pick Christen Miller to his rookie contract.
The financial details haven't been announced yet, but Spotrac believes that Miller will earn $11.8 million over the four-year contract, since he was drafted with the No. 42 pick. Overall, Georgia players are expected to signed at least $70 million in contracts from the 2026 NFL draft.
The No. 42 overall pick was not spotted during the first day of rookie minicamp, and head coach Kellen Moore revealed after practice that Miller is working through a minor injury.
“He’s fine,” Moore said. “Just a couple of these guys come in, you put guys in different levels as far as the maintenance plan, just to make sure these guys are ramping up the right way. And so that’s part of this process. Checking in on them from a body standpoint. So he wasn’t out there necessarily doing any field work. But he’ll be fine.”
Miller entered Georgia primed to make major contributions as a freshman. The defensive line had just lost Travon Walker and Devontae Wyatt to the 2022 NFL draft, and Jalen Carter, , and would follow them in 2023.

However, Miller didn't crack the starting rotation until his junior season, as guys like Zion Logue, Warren Brinson, and Nazir Stackhouse took over instead. Still, Miller made up for lost time.
In 2024, Miller had 27 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. That season could've earned him transfer portal or draft buzz, but he decided to stay in 2025. He earned an All-SEC first-team selection in 2025, with 23 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks.
Miller earned some first-round draft buzz, but he didn't participate in NFL combine drills, which might have hindered his draft stock. Still, he could be a plug-and-play starter for the New Orleans Saints.
They have a lot of returning starters, such as Bryan Bresee, Davon Godchaux, and Nathan Shepard, but their play left a lot to be desired. If the Saints didn't want to rush Miller, they have plenty of bodies, but Miller has a very winnable battle.
