New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis announced that the team acquired offensive lineman Luke Fortner in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here are five things to know about the Saints roster addition:

Luke Fortner is the newest member of the New Orleans Saints. The center was traded by the Jacksonville Jaguars for defensive tackle Khalen Saunders . Saunders had been listed behind newly acquired Davon Godchaux on the Saints' depth chart, and Fortner is projected to serve as the backup for Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy.

Saunders is a 29-year old defensive tackle who listed as DT2 on the Saints' depth chart behind Davon Godchaux. The big fella had 43 tackles, including two sacks, along with an interception last season for New Orleans.

The Jaguars traded Fortner to the Saints in exchange for defensive lineman Khalen Saunders on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Fortner will head to New Orleans, where he'll likely operate as the top reserve option at center behind starter Erik McCoy in 2025.
