The New Orleans Saints signed first-round draft pick Jordyn Tyson to his four-year rookie contract on Friday.
Tyson, the eighth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, will receive $32.5 million in fully guaranteed money that includes a $20.1 million signing bonus. The deal also includes a fifth-year team option for the wide receiver out of Arizona State.
Named a third-team All-American for the second straight season, Tyson had 61 receptions for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season despite missing three games with a hamstring injury. He recorded four 100-yard outings and twice caught 10 or more passes.
In 2024, Tyson caught 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 scores in 12 games for the Sun Devils before missing the final two games with a broken collarbone. The latter contest was a College Football Playoff loss to Texas.
The Allen, Texas, native amassed 136 catches for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns in 24 games for the Sun Devils.
Tyson spent the spent 2022 season at Colorado before transferring to Arizona State. He had 22 receptions for 470 yards and four TDs in nine games for the Buffaloes before sustaining a major season-ending knee injury that led to him redshirting at Arizona State in 2023.
He's the younger brother of 2024 NBA first-round pick Jaylon Tyson, who was selected 20th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
