US EditionSaints add veterans in defensive end Jonathan Bullard and safety Julian Blackmon as camp opens
JEFFERSON PARISH, LOUISIANA, JUL 24 – The Saints signed veterans Jonathan Bullard and Julian Blackmon to bolster their defense after Tyrann Mathieu's retirement, with Blackmon's deal worth up to $5.5 million, officials said.
- At the start of training camp, the Saints added defensive end Jonathan Bullard and safety Julian Blackmon, following Wednesday evening's first practice.
- Contract valued at up to $5.5 million underscores the system shift under Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley and rookie coach Kellen Moore, filling leadership gaps.
- Before joining New Orleans, Bullard started all 17 games for the Vikings last season with 41 tackles, one sack and three quarterback hits.
- The additions deliver much-needed depth to the safety unit, pairing Julian Blackmon with Justin Reid.
- These moves position New Orleans for divisional contention, and Blackmon could prove to be a bargain if he stays healthy.
