New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis announced today that the club has signed offensive lineman Dillon Radunz to a two-year contract.
Radunz (pronounced RAY-dinz), 6-6, 301, is a five-year NFL veteran who was originally selected in the second round (53rd overall) by the Tennessee Titans in the 2021 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State and joined the Saints in 2025 as an unrestricted free agent. In five years with Tennessee (2021-24) and New Orleans (2025), the Becker, Minn. native has appeared in 69 games with 41 starts, seeing time at both guard spots and both tackle positions. In 2025, he played in 15 games with ten starts at left guard, with the Saints finishing 5-5 in those ten contests he opened.
At North Dakota State, Radunz saw action in 33 career games with 32 starts at left tackle in five seasons with the Bison (2016-20). He was a member of four Missouri Valley Football Conference championship teams and three NCAA Division I football national championship squads. As a junior in 2019, Radunz was named a consensus first-team All-American. He also earned first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors after starting all 16 games at left tackle, anchoring a Bison offensive line that helped NDSU rush for a school-record 4,601 yards, ranking fourth in the FCS with 287.6 rushing yards per game.
