The Saints signed linebacker Deion Jones, defensive lineman Brien Taylor and pass rusher Malaki Williams, the team announced Saturday.
In a corresponding move, the Saints waived defensive lineman Zxavian Harris.
Jones, whose agreement with the team was previously announced, is a nine-year NFL veteran. He was a second-round pick of the Falcons in 2016.
Jones has appeared in 128 regular-season games with 91 starts for the Falcons (2016-21), Browns (2022), Panthers (2023) and Buccaneers (2024-25). He has 746 tackles, 12 sacks, 13 interceptions, 53 pass breakups, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 15 special teams stops.
Taylor arrives in New Orleans after spending the past two seasons at the University of Florida, where he played in 22 games and recorded 38 tackles, five stops for loss, two sacks and one forced fumble.
