The New Orleans Saints have a whopping 19 pending free agents entering the 2025 offseason, and bringing some back will be a key to success. One of the players who may be worth retaining is safety Will Harris, who had a very solid season for the Saints in 2024 and got significant playing time throughout the year. This success led to him being listed on the ProFootballNetwork top 100 pending free agents list for the 2025 offseason, coming in at No. 92. Here is what they had to say about Harris and his free agency:
“After five seasons in Detroit, Harris had a career-high five passes defended during his first season with the Saints. The former third-round pick doesn’t have much ball production otherwise, with just three career picks, but possesses the type of frame (6’1”, 207 pounds) that many defensive coordinators covet.
Harris has vacillated between safety and slot cornerback in his career, though he was primarily the former in 2024 (52% of his snaps came as a deep safety). Harris has played the majority of his snaps at safety in 2019, 2021, and 2024, while his other three seasons (2020, 2022, 2023) have seen him primarily line up in the slot.
The former third-round pick will play most of next season at age 29, but his uncertain positional home makes him a tough projection when it comes to locking down a long-term deal.”
In addition to that, he was listed as the fifth-best safety free agent in the upcoming offseason, behind only Justin Reid, Harrison Smith, Trevon Moehrig, and Julian Blackmon. It is clear that he is valued relatively highly by the PFN crew, and after a season like he had in 2024, it is a valid belief as he enters free agency once again to find a team to play for in 2025.
