The New Orleans Saints are signing defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson and re-signing cornerback P.J. Williams.

NFL Network reported it is a one-year deal for Johnson, while ESPN reported the same for Williams.

Williams, 28, started five of his 16 games with the Saints in 2021 and contributed 42 tackles, three interceptions, two sacks and one forced fumble. A third-round pick by New Orleans in 2015, he has eight interceptions and 233 tackles in 78 games (31 starts).
