With young talent on the rise, Saints vet faces uncertain future in crowded room

The Saints are shifting towards a younger linebacker room. This has caused Pete Werner to see less snaps. He's someone who could be traded at the deadline.

The New Orleans Saints are amidst a rebuild. This means that they will be transitioning from some established veterans to young, unproven rookies. One person who could be a casualty in this is linebacker Pete Werner. Werner has been a contributor ever since being drafted in the second round in 2021, but his time in the Big Easy could be dwindling in favor of players like Danny Stutsman and/or Isaiah Stalbird.
