2026 Outlook
Ryan Wright left the Minnesota Vikings and signed a four-year, $14 million contract with the New Orleans Saints in 2026 free agency. His career has been volatile—dominant as a 2022 rookie, struggling in 2023-2024, then bouncing back to "majestic form" in 2025. Wright's departure creates a significant loss of continuity for the Vikings, as he was the holder for kicker Will Reichard (the best kicker in the NFL in 2025) over the past two seasons. The Vikings will need to find a new punter, likely looking at a rookie or undrafted free agent late in the draft or after. For Saints fantasy purposes, Wright's consistency in 2025 suggests the team expects him to anchor their special teams, though his historical volatility makes his long-term production uncertain (per These Vikings Players Landed New Teams This Week).
