New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis announced today that the club has agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent center/guard Will Clapp on a one-year contract.

Clapp, 6-5, 314, returns to New Orleans after first joining the Saints in 2018 as a seventh round draft pick (245th overall) out of LSU. Clapp has appeared in 66 career regular season games with 22 starts at both guard positions, center and as a sixth offensive lineman for the Saints (2018-21), Los Angeles Chargers (2022-23) and Buffalo Bills (2024). He has also played in four postseason contests for the Saints, Chargers and Bills.

In 2024, Clapp served as a valued backup on the interior of the Bills offensive line, starting at right guard in the team's regular season finale and seeing action in both playoff contests. In 2023 with the Chargers, he played in 14 games and started a career-high 11 games at center. In his first four seasons in New Orleans, Clapp was a valuable blocker on the interior of the Saints offensive line, playing in 34 contests and starting seven games at all three interior positions and as an extra lineman in the team's jumbo package.

The New Orleans native and former Brother Martin High School standout was a three-year starter on the LSU offensive line (2015-17), opening all 36 games he appeared in at all three interior positions, while earning first-team All-Southeastern Conference honors at both center and guard (2016-17). In his last two seasons at Brother Martin, Clapp was a Louisiana 5A All-State team selection.
