Ty Summers’ time was brief with the New Orleans Saints in 2022, but the linebacker apparently made enough of an impression for the team to keep him around another season.
According to his Instagram, Summers has re-signed with the Saints for 2023.
ESPN reports it’s a one-year deal between the Saints and Summers.
The 6-foot-1, 241-pound 27-year-old enters his fifth year in the NFL with his third team.
Summers was a seventh-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2019 out of TCU. He stayed with the Packers from then through the 2021 season, playing in all but three games on defense and special teams. He added a fumble recovery, a pass deflection and 52 combine tackles to his resume through those 46 appearances.
Last season, Summers split his time between the Jacksonville Jaguars and then the Saints. He saw field time in just three games with the Jaguars, notching four tackles while helping out on special teams. When the Saints signed Summers, he was on the Jaguars practice squad.
Summers joined the Saints in December and took 55 special teams snaps in New Orleans’ final three games. He made two tackles.
