Who Should I Start? Donovan Peoples-Jones or Tay Martin

Thursday, May 15, 1:06 PM

New Orleans Saints executive vice president/general manager Mickey Loomis announced earlier this week that the team signed free-agent wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones and safety Terrell Burgess to undisclosed one-year deals and waived safety Millard Bradford and running back Jordan Mims in corresponding moves. Both Peoples-Jones and Burgess took part in the team's rookie minicamp last weekend on a tryout basis. Peoples-Jones, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2020 out of Michigan. He was on the Detroit Lions' practice squad last year but last played in an NFL game in 2023, when he caught 13 of 25 targets for 155 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games (six starts) with the Browns and Lions. DPJ will face an uphill battle for a starting role in New Orleans as receiver depth behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Brandin Cooks and Bub Means in 2025.

After re-signing defensive lineman James Lynch on Wednesday, the Tennessee Titans waived wide receiver Tay Martin (undisclosed) and linebacker Kyron Johnson (undisclosed) with undisclosed injury designations. The 27-year-old Martin, a former undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State, spent most of his time on the team's practice squad in 2024 and caught his first career pass on two targets for a 49-yard touchdown in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Houston Texans. Johnson, 26, was originally a sixth-round selection (181st overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022 out of Kansas. He did not play in a game last year with Tennessee and had just eight tackles (six solo) in 22 games (no starts) in his two seasons with the Eagles.
