The New Orleans Saints signed free-agent safety Roderic Teamer to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The 27-year-old Tulane product previously tried out with the Saints at rookie minicamp and again at mandatory minicamp and will join his hometown team. Teamer began his NFL career in 2019 with the Los Angeles Chargers after going undrafted. He then spent the next three years playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. In his 40 NFL games (11 starts) over four years, Teamer has 103 tackles (72 solo), an interception, one sack and three pass breakups. He will now look to impress the coaching staff enough in training camp and the preseason to earn a 53-man roster spot as secondary depth going into Week 1 this fall.
Las Vegas Raiders safety Roderic Teamer is being released by the organization on Monday. Teamer was inactive on Sunday for the game against the Kansas City Chiefs stemming from an arrest that included a basic speeding violation. Now, he will hit waivers where any team can claim him. If he goes unclaimed, he is free to sign with any franchise. The 26-year-old played in just three games this year, racking up five tackles.

Teamer, who was activated from IR on Saturday after missing six games, was ultimately released from jail. Despite being healthy enough to re-join the active roster, he will be inactive for Week 12 amidst this ongoing legal situation.
