Willie Gay Jr.

Saints agreed to terms with LB Willie Gay, formerly of the Chiefs, on a one-year, $3 million contract.

Another $2 million is available through incentives. A four-year starter since arriving in Kansas City via the second round of the 2020 draft, Gay has been a perfectly-average two-down ‘backer. He’s neither an elite run-stopper nor a horrid pass-rusher. He’s going from one elite defensive mind in Steve Spagnuolo to another in Dennis Allen.
