It took nearly three months, but former Notre Dame defensive end [autotag]Isaiah Foskey[/autotag] finally has his rookie deal in place. Foskey signed a four-year contract with the New Orleans Saints, who selected him as the 40th overall pick in the second round of this year’s NFL draft. He was last of the Saints’ rookie class to sign, but better late than never. He took to Twitter to celebrate the big bucks he now knows he’ll be making for sure:

The Saints have fallen into mediocrity since Drew Brees retired after the 2020 season, so they’re trying to return to that level of excellence. Foskey will help shore up a defensive line that hasn’t had a lot of young talent develop lately. Irish fans know how good he was at the collegiate level, but how well will his game translate in the NFL? All we know is if anyone with his drive and production came make it, it’s him.
