Saints Sign Brock Rechsteiner After Rookie Minicamp Tryout
The New Orleans Saints signed brock rechsteiner after he spent rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. They also placed offensive lineman Nick Saldiveri on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform, a roster move that changes the depth chart as workouts continue at the start of the team’s rookie period.
Rechsteiner Joins Saints Roster
Rechsteiner, listed at 6-2 and 225 pounds, earned the contract after working with the Saints during rookie minicamp the previous weekend. The move gives New Orleans a receiver who arrived through a tryout and turned that chance into a spot on the roster.
He spent four seasons at Jacksonville State from 2022 through 2025 and played in 40 games. Across that college career, he caught 53 passes for 629 yards and seven touchdowns.
Jacksonville State Numbers
His 2025 season was his most productive. Rechsteiner appeared in 13 games, posted 35 receptions for 383 yards and five touchdowns, and added three rushes for 17 yards and one touchdown.
Those totals stood as his career highs in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. For New Orleans, that means the roster addition comes with a recent production spike rather than a purely developmental profile.
Rechsteiner is from Woodstock, Georgia, and his path to the Saints ran through a spring tryout rather than an immediate signing. He entered the building on May 9, 2026, when rookies worked at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center for Day 2 of minicamp, and the Saints moved him from that look to the active roster after the weekend.
Saldiveri Moves To PUP
Saldiveri’s placement on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform is the counterweight to the receiver addition. One player comes in after a successful minicamp audition; another shifts to a reserve designation, changing how New Orleans can sort its line and receiver depth around the start of summer work.
For Rechsteiner, the next step is straightforward: he has moved from tryout player to Saint. For the team, the more immediate roster picture now includes a receiver with 40 college games and a 2025 peak of 35 catches, while Saldiveri is sidelined on reserve.
