How long will it take Saints to sign this year's second-round pick?
The New Orleans Saints are expected to sign their 2026 second-round draft pick, Christen Miller, in the coming weeks, as contract negotiations for mid-first-round picks typically resolve without prolonged holdouts. While agents for second-round selections often seek increased guaranteed money in later contract years, such disputes are usually minor given the NFL's rookie wage scale. Historical signing dates for Saints second-round picks suggest Miller could sign anywhere from late May to late July.
