sad news: Saints top receiver Lands with Ravens

 

The NFL offseason has seen several notable moves by former New Orleans Saints wide receivers. Keith Kirkwood, a familiar face in the Saints organization, has signed with the Baltimore Ravens. Kirkwood spent four seasons with the Saints, hauling in 13 receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns.

 

Meanwhile, All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas is generating interest from several teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos. Thomas, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has been one of the NFL’s top receivers since entering the league in 2016. Despite injuries limiting his playing time in recent seasons, Thomas is still considered a highly coveted asset.

 

The Saints have also added a new face to their receiving corps, signing former LSU wide receiver Jontre Kirklin. Kirklin, a Louisiana native, went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft but impressed during his time at LSU, recording 34 receptions for 379 yards and three touchdowns.

 

The Ravens, Steelers, and Broncos are all looking to bolster their receiving corps, and these moves could significantly impact the AFC North landscape. Kirkwood’s addition provides the Ravens with a reliable depth option, while Thomas’s potential signing could give the Steelers or Broncos a game-changing playmaker.

 

As the NFL offseason continues to unfold, these moves will be crucial in shaping the league’s balance of power. Stay tuned for more updates on the Saints, Ravens, Steelers, Broncos, and other teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
