Clapp (foot) announced his retirement from the NFL on his Instagram account Thursday.

He wasn't able to suit up in 2025 due to a foot injury that sent him to injured reserve before the season began. Overall, Clapp made 22 starts and 66 appearances through his playing career, and Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football suggests that he could stick with the Saints as an assistant coach or other member of the coaching staff.

EDGE Analysis
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Clapp suffered a Lisfranc injury in his right foot during the Saints' preseason game against the Chargers on Sunday, and the 2018 seventh-rounder will miss the entire 2025 season as a result. Kyle Hergel and Torricelli Simpkins are candidates to serve as the Saints' backup center behind Erik McCoy due to Clapp's injury.

Clapp (foot) is expected to miss significant time, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clapp was carted off the field in Sunday's preseason loss to the Chargers with what is now understood to be a right foot injury. The Saints are fearful that the center suffered a potentially season-ending injury, which would require surgery, but they're awaiting final confirmation from the team's testing results, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. Clapp was expected to serve as a top reserve option with New Orleans this season, so the injury is certainly not ideal for the team.
