The New Orleans Saints have rejected signing Marvin Mims Jr., a former 2-time All-Pro wide receiver from the Denver Broncos, after discovering troubling issues in his past.

Mims, once considered one of the top wide receivers in the league, earned 2 All-Pro selections. In the 2025 season, he recorded 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns, becoming one of the standout players for the Broncos.

However, the Saints found that Mims had skipped practices and ignored coaching instructions. He also led an unprofessional lifestyle off the field, which did not align with the disciplined culture of the Saints.

This controversy led to the Saints deciding not to move forward with signing Mims. Although he had a high market value, with a projected contract worth around $10 million for a long-term deal, the Saints chose to pass.

The Saints have always prioritized team culture, where discipline, integrity, and unity are paramount. This is why they chose to decline Mims.

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis shared, “I know this decision will disappoint many, but we must preserve the culture of the team.”

The Saints’ culture has been a key factor in their success over the years. They focus not only on talent but also on character.

The Saints community expressed their disappointment, but many recognized that this was the right decision to protect the team’s culture.

“Mims may have talent, but the Saints’ culture is non-negotiable,” shared one long-time fan on social media.

This decision ensures that the Saints maintain an environment where respect and discipline are the foundation. New Orleans continues to uphold its values.

Although Mims was rejected, the Saints are still actively searching for players who fit their system, particularly in the offensive positions.

With this decision, the Saints reaffirm that it’s not only talent but also character that plays a crucial role in player selection.
