Saints Trade Punter Kai Kroeger to Houston Texans

The New Orleans Saints have traded punter Kai Kroeger to the Houston Texans in exchange for a swap of 2028 sixth and seventh-round draft picks. Kroeger, an undrafted free agent, struggled in 2025, ranking 25th in punting grade and 28th in net average. The trade follows the Saints' recent signing of former Vikings punter Ryan Wright to a four-year, $14 million contract.
