The Saints are set to sign Rader, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The tight end out of Youngstown State also logged 219 snaps on special teams.

Titans' Kevin Rader: Active for season finale
Rader (hip) is not among Tennessee's inactives for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Jacksonville.
Rader was questionable coming into Sunday due to a hip injury, but his outlook was optimistic after he logged a full practice session Friday. The fourth-year tight end will indeed be able to suit up in Tennessee's final game of the 2023 campaign, though he's unlikely to make much of an impact on offense. Rader has drawn only one target, which he caught for a six-yard gain, through 13 contests this season.

Kevin Rader: Heads back to practice squad
Rader reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.
Rader was able to get some additional snaps -- nine offensive and 13 on special teams -- when Josh Whyle was ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Bengals with an ankle injury. If Whyle is unable to go for Week 5 against the Colts, Rader would have a good chance of being elevated for the second time this season.
