The Saints waived Holker on Tuesday, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports. Holker originally signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024 and tallied three catches on four targets for 21 yards as a rookie. The Colorado State product got into 12 games last year but didn't seem likely to garner a bigger role this season since the Saints have four veteran tight ends (Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill (knee), Foster Moreau (knee) and Jack Stoll) on the roster.

Holker (undisclosed) participated during minicamp Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Holker was hindered by a minor injury earlier in the offseason, but he now seems to be back to full strength. Although he suited up for 12 games last season, he might not be a lock for a spot on New Orleans' final 53-man roster when the 2025 season starts.

Head coach Kellen Moore told reporters Thursday that Holker (undisclosed) is dealing with a "minor" injury, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. The Colorado State product served as the Saints' No. 3 tight end in 2024, catching three of his four targets for 21 yards while playing 104 total snaps (73 offensive, 31 on special teams) across 12 regular-season games. With Holker and Foster Moreau (knee) currently sidelined, Jack Stoll and Moliki Matavao will likely see increased offensive reps.

Holker appeared in 12 regular-season games for New Orleans in 2024, nabbing three of four targets for 21 yards. Holker did not play in the first four games of the season before appearing in 12 of the final 13 contests. The undrafted rookie out of Colorado State was buried on the depth chart behind veteran tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau (knee) for much of the season, but he got some more opportunities after Taysom Hill suffered a season-ending ACL tear Week 13. Holker recorded three catches over the final five games of the season, including two receptions during the 27-19 loss to Tampa Bay in Week 18. Johnson is currently set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the 34-year-old Hill has just one season remaining on his contract with the Saints. Holker could have a path to a more significant role if the Saints don't bring back Johnson and/or Hill for the 2025 campaign.

Holker played six of the Saints' 68 snaps on offense and recorded a 10-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants. The reception was the first of Holker's career. The undrafted rookie has been buried on the depth chart all season and has seen light snaps in his eight appearances thus far, though he'll have a slightly bigger window of opportunity behind tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau after Taysom Hill (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 13.
