One of the members of the New Orleans Saints’ 2024 undrafted free agent class will be joining the UFL, as defensive lineman Kyler Baugh has signed with the St. Louis Battlehawks. Baugh played college football at Minnesota before signing a standard rookie contract with New Orleans that guaranteed him just $25,000.
Baugh was on three different rosters in 2024, starting off with the Saints during the offseason, then moving on to the New York Giants, and ending his year on the Atlanta Falcons practice squad.
His contract with the Falcons to remain on their practice squad expired, and he was not one of the 17 players they signed to a reserve/future contract either, which allowed him to complete this move. He would not get a chance to play during the 2024 season, and only played a small amount during the preseason. Going to the UFL will give Baugh the opportunity to work towards some more time on the field, and give coaches a chance to see what he can do.
