A low-risk roster move that adds developmental depth at tight end with minimal upside. Five headlines covered the signing, though none signaled significant excitement or urgency. The telling detail: a 2025 review headline already flagged Welch for 'missed opportunities,' a concerning early indicator. Fans are largely indifferent, viewing this as a camp body competing for a roster bubble spot. Welch will need a strong offseason to stick beyond final roster cuts.

This signing grades out as an overpay for the New Orleans Saints — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Treyton's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL TEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $988K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the TE market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Treyton is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
