Saints Sign Ty Chandler, Boost RB Depth

About this episode

The New Orleans Saints have signed Ty Chandler, a quick and explosive running back from the Minnesota Vikings, to bolster their roster. Chandler, known for his four point three speed, will serve as a change-of-pace back and potentially handle kickoff returns. This move adds depth to the running back group, which has seen several key additions this offseason. Fans and analysts view this as a smart step, given the solid snap counts from last seasons top performers. However, with Travis Etienne Junior and Alvin Kamaras snap counts, and the potential retirement of Kamara, the Saints may target another back in the draft for next year.

The New Orleans Saints bolstered their running-back group by signing Thai Chandler away from the Minnesota Vikings. This free agent move adds a quick, explosive player to the roster, especially with his 4.3 speed on the field. Chandler fits right in as a change of pace back and could shine on special teams handling kickoff returns. The team keeps building depth here after several key additions already this off-season. Fans and analysts see this as a smart step, given the solid snap counts from last season's 2025 games. Travis Eddie and Jr. topped a list at 691 snaps, with Alvin Camarra close behind at 457. Lower down, Devon Neal had 268. Audric Estimate, 181, Kendre Miller, 113, and Evan Hull, 77 snaps. Chandler rounds it out with just 42 from his Vikings days.

Looking ahead, Camarra's potential retirement has everyone watching. Officials hint the Saints may target another back in the draft to shake up the position for next year.
