Black Signs with Saints

After earning a minicamp tryout with the New Orleans Saints, Syracuse star Josh Black was inked by the franchise as a free agent on Tuesday, marking the third member of the 2021 Orange to land a free agent deal this offseason.

Black joins Kingsley Jonathan (Buffalo Bills) and McKinley Williams (Indianapolis Colts) in earning their spots as undrafted free agents. Additionally, Cody Roscoe (Cardinals) and Airon Servais (Jets) have recently worked out at minicamps with the prospects of landing camp invites.
