The Saints are signing a trio of players from the upstart United Football League

   

Xazavian Valladay isn't the only player that the New Orleans Saints cut on Friday.

The Saints made a series of roster tweaks Friday, signing three players from the United Football League and also releasing cornerback Travion Fluellen.

With Valladay and Fluellen gone, the Saints signed tight end Seth Green, offensive lineman Barry Wesley and cornerback Jayden Price. The trio most recently played in the United Football League, the upstart spring league that formed following a merger between the XFL and the USFL.

Green, a 27-year-old tight end who stands at 6-foot-3 and 242 pounds, had 13 catches for 150 yards in 10 games for the Arlington Renegades. Green, who has spent the past two seasons with Arlington, also has brief NFL experience. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022, spending time with the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys. 

Wesley, 25, was a starting lineman for the Birmingham Stallions, playing tackle and guard. At 6-foot-6 and 312 pounds, the Colorado State product also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons in 2023 and 2024. 

Price, who is 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, also had a training camp stint last year with Atlanta. The 25-year-old spent this most recent UFL season with the Renegades, recording 27 tackles in 10 starts. He also contributed on punt and kickoff returns. 

The UFL's season concluded last week when the D.C. Defenders earned a 58-34 victory over the Michigan Panthers.
