The New Orleans Saints have been active on the waiver wire.

The Saints claimed tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden from the Baltimore Ravens and waived running back Velus Jones in a corresponding move, the team announced Friday.

Mitchell-Paden, 26, appeared in six games for the Ravens this season and caught one pass for three yards. The 6-foot-5, 257-pound tight end had been with Baltimore since 2024 and also had stints with the Cleveland Browns. Mitchell entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022 after playing college football for Florida Atlantic and Notre Dame College.

The Saints' decision to release Jones, meanwhile, comes days after they signed him to the active roster following Kendre Miller's season-ending ACL injury.
