New Orleans Saints Wide Receiver Becomes Free Agent

The New Orleans Saints have decided not to tender wide receiver Marquez Callaway, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Saints aren't tendering restricted free agent WR Marquez Callaway, so he becomes an unrestricted free agent at 4. In 2021, went for 46 catches for 698 yards and six touchdowns. Turns 25 later this month.

Despite generating buzz heading into the 2022 season, Callaway struggled to produce for the Saints, finishing the year with just 11 receptions, 158 yards, and one touchdown in 14 games.

However, Callaway's young age and potential may still attract interest from other teams, making him an interesting reclamation project.

Over his three-year career with the Saints, Callaway has recorded 83 receptions for 1,069 yards and seven touchdowns in 42 games played. 

The #Saints are not expected to tender RFA wide receiver Marquez Callaway, per source. Returning to New Orleans is still an option. But he’s set to hit unrestricted free agency. Had 1,069 yards and 7 TDs in three years with N.O.

Although a return to New Orleans is still a possibility, it seems likely that Callaway will be looking to find a better fit elsewhere.
