Rebilas-Imagn Images The New Orleans Saints agreed to a contract with outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings, multiple media outlets reported on Sunday.
Terms of the deal were not announced.
Jennings, 28, was a third-round pick by the New England Patriots in the 2020 NFL Draft. After a few years of being a rotational player, he became a full-time starter in 2023, playing in 15 games (14 starts) and recording 66 combined tackles.
In 2024, Jennings posted career-highs totals in combined tackles (78), quarterback hits (nine) and sacks (2.5) across 16 games.
He played a diminished role last season under new head coach Mike Vrabel. Jennings saw his defensive snaps plummet from 831 in 2025 to 280 in 2026. In limited action, he had 26 combined tackles and two sacks.
In March, the Patriots released him.
Now, Jennings will get a fresh start in New Orleans. He will join an outside linebacker group that includes Chase Young, Carl Granderson, Tyree Wilson and Chris Rumph II.
