Saints sign Cade York, not Justin Tucker, to replace Blake Grupe

The New Orleans Saints have added kicker Cade York to their practice squad, following a workout that included both York and veteran kicker Justin Tucker. York, who has previously been with teams such as the Browns, Titans, Giants, Commanders, and Bengals, has not been on a roster since 2025. York has a career field goal success rate of 73.3% and has made 51 of 54 extra point attempts. The move comes as the Saints plan to release their current kicker, Blake Grupe. Justin Tucker, meanwhile, continues his search for a roster spot following the tryout.
