Juwan Johnson has returned to the New Orleans Saints after exploring free agency, with interest from teams like the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, who are familiar with his playing style. Johnson reflected on the appeal of these teams, largely due to the influence of former coaches Sean Payton and Klint Kubiak, who both sought to bring him into their systems. The allure of continuity and familiarity played a significant role in his decision to stay with the Saints.

Despite the changes in the Saints' coaching staff, Johnson's potential as a reliable tight end remains intact as he aims to capitalize on the trust his previous coaches have in his abilities. This season, the pressure will be on offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to help Johnson reach his ceiling, enhancing the tight end's contributions within the Saints' offense.
