Saints contracts with Emmanuel Sanders, D.J. Swearinger formally processed

The NFL officially processed the contracts between the New Orleans Saints and free agents Emmanuel Sanders and D.J. Swearinger, as reflected on the official league transactions wire on Monday. While these deals had previously been agreed to, both players have since cleared medical physicals and put pens to paper.

That means that Sanders is the newest member of the Saints, having last played for the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV (which they lost). He hasn’t yet picked a new jersey number, though the NFL veteran has said on social media that he would like to continue wearing No.
