Saints Released DB David Long From IR

Long, 28, was a third-round pick by the Rams out of Michigan back in 2019. He finished his four-year, rookie contract worth $3,801,391, including a $973,060 signing bonus and $973,060 guaranteed, and signed a one-year deal with the Raiders.

Long was waived by the Raiders and later claimed by the Panthers. Carolina opted to move on and he was later claimed by the Packers and finished out the 2023 season with them.

He signed with the Giants in May 2024 but was among their final roster cuts heading out of training camp. He spent the season on the Colts’ practice squad before signing to the active roster in October. Indianapolis brought him back in March but he got hurt in camp and was cut with a settlement from IR. 

Long re-joined the practice squad in October but was released a month later and finished the year on the Panthers’ practice squad. He then signed with the Giants during camp this year but was let go a week later.

Long signed with the Saints near the end of camp but was placed on injured reserve.

In 2025, Long appeared in one game for the Panthers.
