Updated New Orleans Saints wide receiver corps with Jordyn Tyson

With the 2026 NFL Draft in full swing, the New Orleans Saints have made their first-round selection, bringing in Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson at pick No. 8. They were able to stand pat after discussions of a potential trade up, and select their guy, bringing in one of the more prominent wide receiver talents in the class and adding to a unit that desperately needed an influx of talent.

Heading into minicamps, the Saints will have a relatively new look wide receiver corps compared to the pre-Kellen Moore look it had. Extending Chris Olave has to be the next major priority in this room, as that would allow them to run out a core of Chris Olave, Tyson, and Devaughn Vele for the foreseeable future.

Here is what the full wide receiver room looks like at the moment, based on the contracts given out both to 53-man roster players and futures contracts.

• Chris Olave
• Jordyn Tyson
• Devaughn Vele
• Bub Means
• Mason Tipton
• Ja'Lynn Polk
• Kevin Austin Jr.
• Ronnie Bell
• Trey Palmer
• Samori Toure

All things considered, this is a strong group for to work with in the long term. Kellen Moore will have his work cut out for him in trying to help Tyson avoid any major injuries, but many of them were unrelated and in different periods of time. He could end up being the top wideout in the class based on pure talent, but it will just come down to how much he and Olave are able to remain on the field in 2026 and beyond.
