CEH will be back with the Saints for the start of the 2025 offseason. The former first-round pick was active for two games last season for the Saints, rushing 13 times for 46 yards while adding another three catches for 24 yards. With new head coach Kellen Moore now in town, the Saints are sure to have some roster turnover this offseason, but Edwards-Helaire could have a chance to battle for a roster spot if he sticks around until training camp.

CEH was never signed to the Saints’ 53-man roster after joining their practice squad in late December. The former first-round pick saw his practice squad expire today, meaning he is now a free agent who can sign with any team. In two games played with the Saints, CEH rushed for 46 scoreless yards on 13 carries while adding another three receptions for 24 yards on five targets. He will turn 26 in April, and could land with another team this offseason in hopes of winning a roster spot in camp. In addition to Edwards-Helaire, running back Dalvin Cook, and wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie also saw their practice squad contracts expire and are now free agents.

With Kendre Miller leaving the game in the second quarter with a concussion, Edwards-Helaire became the main running back for the Saints. Of course, that only amounted to five carries and four targets in the passing game, while running behind an injured offensive line that opened up few holes. CEH is also still on the practice squad, so he would need to be elevated again next week, but if Kendre Miller were to be out for Week 18, we assume it would be CEH who would lead the backfield. However, we still wouldn’t trust him against the Bucs outside of the deepest formats.
