It looks like defensive tackle Bryan Bresee will be with the New Orleans Saints through the 2027 season.

The Saints have reportedly picked up the fifth-year option on Bresee, who was the team's first-round pick in 2023.

In 2024, Bresee had his best pro season with 7.5 sacks. His numbers dropped to 2.5 sacks in 2025 following the shift to Brandon Staley's new 3-4 scheme.

The move raised questions about Bresee's fit with the team, but he's under contract for the next two seasons.
