Saints Sign Second-Round DT Christen Miller to Four-Year Deal to Complete 2026 Class

The team cites a cautious ramp-up plan for his minicamp absence.

Overview

  • Miller, whose four-year contract was announced Saturday, became the eighth and final Saints draft pick to sign.
  • Head coach Kellen Moore said the defensive tackle skipped on-field rookie minicamp drills Friday for a minor body and maintenance plan, not a contract issue.
  • The rookie was at the facility for meetings and film study despite sitting out field work during the opening minicamp session.
  • Guarantee details were not disclosed, with some coverage noting many players picked near No. 42 have fully guaranteed deals this year.
  • The light workload reflects how rookie minicamps emphasize teaching and conditioning before full training camp in late July, as the Saints evaluate interior line depth and Miller’s early role.
