Donovan Peoples-Jones Signs with New Orleans Saints
Former Michigan Wolverines wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones has signed a new contract with the New Orleans Saints, marking a fresh chapter in his NFL career. The announcement was made public following his participation in the Saints’ rookie minicamp over the weekend.
While the specific details of the contract remain undisclosed, Peoples-Jones expressed his gratitude and excitement for this opportunity on social media, thanking the Saints organization for their faith in him. "I’m very excited and grateful!!" he tweeted, accompanied by the hashtag #WhoDat.
Peoples-Jones, who played three seasons at the University of Michigan, was drafted in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Over four seasons with the Browns, he showcased his potential, achieving his best performance in 2022 when he recorded 61 receptions for 839 yards and three touchdowns. In 2023, he signed with the Detroit Lions but had limited impact, catching just five passes that year before being relegated to the practice squad in 2024.
During his collegiate career at Michigan, Peoples-Jones demonstrated his skills with 1,327 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, earning two-time All-Big Ten honors as a highly-regarded five-star recruit.
Now with the Saints, Peoples-Jones joins a competitive wide receiver lineup that includes Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Brandin Cooks. As he transitions to his new team, fans and analysts will be eager to see how he integrates into the Saints’ offense and contributes to their upcoming season.
