SAINTS UPDATE: “RB” Clyde Edwards Helaire makes center of attention as he seal $170m deal with the Saints…..
In a stunning turn of events that has taken the sports world by surprise, former Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has sealed a jaw-dropping $170 million contract with the New Orleans Saints. This blockbuster deal is set to make him one of the highest-paid running backs in NFL history, and the news has left fans, analysts, and teammates alike in utter disbelief.
Edwards-Helaire, known for his explosive speed and agility, had been a key part of the Chiefs’ offense since being drafted in 2020, but his future with the team had been uncertain after a string of inconsistent performances. While he showed flashes of brilliance, injuries and fierce competition in the Kansas City backfield had limited his impact. But despite those challenges, the Saints saw an opportunity to snag the dynamic ball carrier, offering him a deal that could keep him in New Orleans for years to come.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that the deal is heavily incentivized, with Edwards-Helaire set to earn a base salary of $15 million per year, but with the potential to reach $170 million if he hits performance and injury-related milestones. The Saints are betting on Edwards-Helaire’s ability to stay healthy and return to the form that made him a standout rookie.
The signing has already sparked excitement in New Orleans, with many fans eager to see how the 24-year-old will fit into the team’s offense. The Saints have struggled with running back depth over the past few seasons, and Edwards-Helaire’s addition could provide a significant boost as they push for a playoff spot.
In a shocking twist, the Saints are now not only setting their sights on a Super Bowl but also on dominating the running back market for years to come.
