Former Raiders tight end Foster Moreau, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in March, is planning to play for the Saints in 2023, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler.

Moreau’s diagnosis was discovered during a routine physical after signing an earlier contract with New Orleans and he initially planned to step away from football. However, he was informed by doctors that he has a good chance of making a full recovery, and as a result is planning to play football next season. According to Schefter and Fowler, the Saints and Moreau agreed to a three-year, $12 million contract that includes $8 million guaranteed and another $3 million in incentives.

The 25-year-old played college football at LSU and was a fourth-round pick by the Raiders in 2019. He spent his first four seasons with the franchise, where he caught 91 passes for 1,107 yards and 12 touchdowns. He is coming off a ’22 season where he notched career-highs in receptions (33) and yards (420).
