2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $6.64 million contract with the Saints in May of 2025.
Active in training camp
Broughton (hip) is an active participant in training camp practices, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Broughton was a third-round selection of the Saints in the 2025 NFL Draft, but his rookie campaign was cut short by a season-ending hip injury that he sustained in Week 1 against the 49ers in September. He's fully healthy for the start of training camp, and he has the opportunity to earn a starting role at defensive end opposite Cameron Jordan if Bryan Bresee (knee) is sidelined for the entire 2026 season.
