DEMARQUIS

GATES

Demarquis Gates, our 126th ranked linebacker, is best suited to be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the New Orleans Saints because they could use a player of this quality after losing Ryan Connelly for an extended period of time. The Saints currently have 6 healthy linebackers, and 1 is rated better than Gates: (Ty Summers).

The Saints currently have no linebackers under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Gates is probably looking at a one year deal, due to his rank, with the team.
