Saints sign defensive end Jeremiah Martin and waive rookie QB Hunter Dekkers
The 6-foot-4, 265-pound Martin is entering his third NFL season since being signed as an undrafted free agent by Cleveland after the 2023 draft.
He spent last season on practice squads for three teams: the Browns, New York Giants and Green Bay.
Martin played college football for five seasons between 2018 and 2022, three with Texas A&M and two with Washington.
Dekkers, signed as an undrafted rookie following a tryout after last spring's draft, has now been waived twice since the beginning of training camp.
He's been the Saints' lone left-handed QB but did not appear in New Orleans' preseason opener last weekend against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
Dekkers was among four QBs on the roster for that game, along with Spencer Rattler, who started the game; second-round draft choice Tyler Shough; and 2023 fourth-round draft choice Jake Haener.

Report – Villarreal & Rayo Vallecano Eyeing Up Deal For Fringe Inter Milan Defender
Villarreal and Real Vallecano are reportedly both keen to sign Inter Milan defender Tomas Palacios. This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. They report that both La Liga clubs would have to make sales before they can sign the Argentine, however. Defender Tomas Palacios joined the Nerazzurri last summer. They reportedly paid a fee of over €10 million to sign him. However, so far Palacios has not exactly become a fixture in the Nerazzurri team. The young defender received only a couple of brief run-outs off the bench for Inter last summer. Then in January, Tomas Palacios joined Monza on loan. Villarreal & Real Vallecano Interested In Inter Defender Tomas Palacios MONZA, ITALY – MARCH 02: Nikola Vlasic of Torino is challenged by Tomas Palacios of Monza during the Serie A match between Monza and Torino at U-Power Stadium on March 02, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) The intention for Palacios's loan at Monza was clearly for the young defender to receive more playing time. And the Argentine did certainly feature more than he had for Inter. However, at the same time, it was a difficult environment for Palacios. The Brianzoli were in a spiral towards relegation, and so it was often more experienced defenders who started. In any event, Tomas Palacios is back at Inter this summer after the end of his loan at the U-Power Stadium. Inter and Basel had been in talks for the Swiss side to sign Palacios on loan. However, those talks stalled out due to the inability of the two clubs to agree upon a fee. According to FCInterNews, though, there are two Spanish clubs keen on Palacios. Villarreal and Real Vallecano are both considering a move for the 23-year-old. FCIN report that Inter would want to loan Palacios out with a purchase option at €5-6 million.
