The New Orleans Saints are reuniting with center Will Clapp to a one-year deal, per Ari Meirov.
Clapp, 29, was drafted by the Saints in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The veteran center was on and off the roster from 2018-2022 before signing with the Los Angeles Chargers where he would start due to injuries. Clapp would later sign a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills in 2024 before hitting free agency in 2025.
The Saints faced a plethora of injuries to their offensive line in 2024, causing a carousel of lineups to start on Sundays. Offensive line struggles were one of New Orleans’ biggest weaknesses throughout the season, highlighted by injuries to Pro-Bowl center Erik McCoy.
Clapp provides the Saints with much needed depth to the trenches along with seven years of experience. At 6-foot-5 and 311 pounds, Clapp has played a variety of positions in the NFL and could fill in holes if needed due to injuries. The veteran offensive linemen also spent time in head coach Kellen Moore’s system during their time with the Chargers.
Clapp is a New Orleans native and went to Brother Martin High School before attending LSU.
