Saints Strengthen Roster with Key Free Agent Signings: Isaac Yiadom, Jack Stoll, and Will Clapp Return to New Orleans.
The New Orleans Saints have bolstered their roster with the additions of cornerback Isaac Yiadom, tight end Jack Stoll, and offensive lineman Will Clapp, the team announced Thursday.
Yiadom, fresh off a season with the San Francisco 49ers, is making his return to New Orleans on a three-year deal. The 6-foot-1, 188-pound cornerback played 17 games for the 49ers last season, delivering a career-high 44 tackles, one interception, six pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. A key contributor on special teams, he also recorded two tackles and recovered a fumbled punt. Since being drafted in the third round in 2018 out of Boston College, Yiadom has played in 87 games for multiple teams, including Denver, the New York Giants, Green Bay, Houston, New Orleans, and San Francisco.
Tight end Jack Stoll joins the Saints on a one-year contract after splitting last season between the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins. Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 247 pounds, Stoll entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska and has since appeared in 61 regular-season games, tallying 22 receptions for 193 yards and making an impact on special teams. He also played in five playoff games with the Eagles before being released ahead of their Super Bowl push last season.
Offensive lineman Will Clapp, a New Orleans native and former LSU standout, returns to the team that originally drafted him in the seventh round in 2018. The 6-foot-5, 314-pound lineman has played 66 regular-season games with 22 starts, showcasing his versatility at both guard spots, center, and as an extra offensive lineman. After stints with the Los Angeles Chargers and Buffalo Bills, Clapp started a career-high 11 games at center for the Chargers in 2023 and contributed as a reserve lineman for the Bills last season, including both of Buffalo’s playoff games.
With these signings, the Saints reinforce their depth and experience across multiple positions, aiming for a stronger campaign in the upcoming season.
