The New Orleans Saints have officially assigned jersey numbers to nearly all their new additions, with just two players still waiting to make their choice. As the team gears up for the upcoming season, fans can now see how their favorite rookies and veterans will look on the field.
After a busy rookie minicamp where the 2026 draft picks debuted their new numbers, the Saints have updated their official roster with the latest assignments. The only two players left without numbers are veteran cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. and undrafted rookie defensive tackle Zxavian Harris, whose signing hasn't been officially announced yet. Emerson has previously worn Nos. 1 and 23 in the NFL, but both are already taken on the current roster. Harris, meanwhile, has used No. 51 throughout high school and college—a number that's also unavailable.
Interestingly, the numbers of three fan favorites—Demario Davis (No. 56), Cameron Jordan (No. 94), and Taysom Hill (No. 7)—remain unclaimed. All three players have either left the team or are still in free agency, leaving those digits up for grabs. For now, these numbers are eligible for any new addition who fits the position requirements.
The Saints also hold a roster exemption for kicker Charlie Smyth as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway program, meaning one roster spot remains open. This could be filled by a returning player like Jordan or a new signing. Keep an eye on former Ohio State defensive tackle Tywone Malone, who was announced as a rookie free agent by his school but hasn't been confirmed by the team. Malone wore Nos. 90 and 95 in college football and No. 54 in college baseball, adding another layer of intrigue to the number hunt.
With plenty of moving parts still in play, Saints fans will want to stay tuned as the roster continues to take shape. Whether it's a veteran return or a fresh face, there's always excitement in seeing who claims those iconic numbers next.
