The New Orleans Saints officially signed defensive backs Michael Davis and David Long to their 90-man roster on Wednesday, bringing a 2025 secondary member back to the team. This move adds two vets to the mix right when competition for roster spots is heating up for the Saints.
Davis Returns With Experience
Michael Davis, who was with the Saints in 2025, is back in the black and gold. Last season, he played only four defensive snaps for New Orleans, but he was a regular on special teams, appearing in 11 games. Before his Saints stint, Davis spent the 2024 season with the Commanders and was a starter for the Chargers for most of the five years prior. His career stats are solid, with 367 tackles, eight interceptions, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries.
Long Joins the Secondary
David Long is the other addition to the Saints’ defensive backfield. He spent a week with the Giants earlier this month. Long’s career spans 80 games, having played for the Panthers, Colts, Packers, Raiders, and Rams. These signings inject more competition into the secondary as the Saints round out their 90-man roster.
