Bullard agreed to a deal with the Saints on Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive end originally visited the team in June and previously played for Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley in Chicago, per Garafolo. With the Vikings last year, Bullard started all 17 regular-season games for the first time in his career, recording 41 tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups. The veteran should have a chance to compete for a role in New Orleans as well.

Bullard finished the 2024 season with 41 tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups across 17 regular-season contests.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old defensive tackle started all 17 games for the first time in his career and has developed into a quality defensive lineman in his three years with Minnesota after bouncing around the league with four different teams in his first six seasons. Bullard is scheduled to become a free agent again in March after playing one a one-year, $2.25 million deal in 2024.

Bullard had two total tackles and two tackles for a loss in Sunday's win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Bullard started at left defensive end and played on 23 of the defense's 67 snaps. Despite being a starter, he's playing 40% of the snaps on defense through three games as part of the defensive line rotation.

Bullard has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Vikings, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bullard will remain in Minnesota after posting 44 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in 2023. Both marks were career highs for the 30-year-old Bullard. He'll likely reprise his role as a rotational piece along the defensive line in 2024 after appearing in 29 games (21 starts) for the Vikings over the past two seasons.

Bullard logged 44 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while also forcing one fumble in 17 games with the Vikings during the 2023 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

The eighth-year pro out of Florida started 14 of the Vikings' 17 games this season, doubling his previous best for most starts in a single year. Despite his increased opportunities in 2023, Bullard continued to struggle at getting after the quarterback, recording just 2.0 sacks and nine pressures in 325 pass rush snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. The 30-year-old is heading into the offseason as an unrestricted free-agent and he'll likely contribute as a rotational defensive lineman wherever he lands in 2024.

Bullard (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

The starting defensive end logged limited practice sessions all week as he dealt with the ankle injury. Bullard has yet to miss a game this season. The eighth-year pro has 39 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in 2023.

Bullard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old defensive end is dealing with an ankle issue that held him to limited practice sessions throughout the week, but he still has a shot at suiting up Sunday. Bullard has yet to miss a game this season, but if he misses Week 16's affair, Sheldon Day (ankle) could see increased work on the Vikings' defensive line.

Bullard started at defensive end in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay and had four total tackles.

EDGE Analysis

Bullard played on just 29 of the team's 68 defensive snaps despite starting as he wasn't active in the pass rush. He may offer little for fantasy production.

Minnesota is re-signing Bullard on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bullard played a depth role in his 12 appearances with the Vikings last season, recording 23 tackles (17 solo). The 29-year-old looks set to handle a similar reserve gig for Minnesota in the 2023 campaign.

The Vikings activated Bullard (biceps) from injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bullard has missed the past four games while on IR with a biceps injury. The 29-year-old was then designated to return to practice Thursday, and he's now set to play again at the earliest possible opportunity heading into Sunday's regular-season finale versus Chicago. With James Lynch still sitting out Week 18 due to a shoulder injury, Bullard should be first in line for additional reps behind starting defensive ends Dalvin Tomlinson and Harrison Phillips.
