3 free agent safeties the Saints could call to replace Tyrann Mathieu

The New Orleans Saints are in a rather intriguing position when it comes to their 2025 season, as they have moved on from many of their veteran pieces, and in some cases, they have retired. One of the most recent updates was regarding Tyrann Mathieu, who, to the surprise of many, retired from the NFL on Tuesday. This leaves the Saints with a clear gap at the safety position, even despite a few offseason additions to the room. Starting a rookie such as Jonas Sanker right off the bat would be difficult, as it would not give him time to develop, but at the same time, the franchise is clearly going in the direction of a younger core. With that said, getting someone to take the spot for a year alongside Justin Reid, who can provide value as a starter and give Sanker some time to work with the defensive scheme, would be beneficial. So, here are three free agents the Saints could look into in the coming weeks: 1. Justin Simmons Clearly one of the most talented players on the market, and despite choosing to go to the Atlanta Falcons last offseason over the Saints, he has plenty of gas left in the tank to give, which is what matters. The 31-year-old had a quality season with Atlanta in 2024, and the five seasons prior, he was either a Pro Bowler, All-Pro, or both. This is the type of talent that could change the Saints' secondary, and maybe they will consider looking into him once again. 2. Jordan Whitehead Jordan Whitehead is an extremely fun option to add to the Saints' secondary, as he has been an absolute menace in the secondary for multiple years now. Despite a somewhat down year in 2024 by his standards, he was making the switch back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after two years away with the New York Jets. In the span of four seasons from 2020 to 2023, he picked up 10 interceptions, 29 pass deflections, and 21 tackles for loss. An intriguing option for the Saints who could be a fun pairing alongside Justin Reid. 3. Quandre Diggs Quandre Diggs should be a no-brainer to look into for New Orleans, as he has been an absolute standout for multiple years of his career, and despite an injury in 2024, is ready to come back, as was reported Tuesday morning by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Diggs had three consecutive Pro Bowl seasons from 2020-2022, picking up 14 interceptions in that span along with 24 pass deflections. While he may be a little further removed from his prime seasons compared to Whitehead, he could be someone to watch for as a short-term rental.

Troilus Gold signs offtake terms with Boliden for copper-gold concentrate

Troilus Gold has reached indicative commercial offtake terms with Boliden Commercial for the sale of copper-gold concentrate from the Troilus project in Quebec, Canada. The Troilus project, according to the May 2024 feasibility study, is set to produce an average of 135.4 million pounds of copper equivalent annually. This translates to 75,000 wet metric tonnes (WMT) of concentrate that contains payable copper, gold, and silver. The indicative terms of the offtake include concentrate quality specifications, precious metals payabilities, treatment and refining charges, and penalties for deleterious elements. Metallurgical testing and historical data suggest that the concentrate will meet the required standards without penalties. The agreement with Boliden follows a similar agreement with Aurubis, a Germany-based provider of non-ferrous metals, and underscores the project's role in the European critical minerals supply chain. Troilus Gold CEO Justin Reid stated: 'We are proud to welcome one of Europe's most respected mining and smelting companies as an offtake partner, renewing a long-standing relationship that began during Troilus' past-producing years, when Boliden processed some of the site's original concentrate. We are pleased to align with key players in Europe's critical minerals ecosystem and believe these recent offtake agreements reinforce our technical credibility and the high quality of the product we intend to deliver. 'With the recent filing of our environmental and social impact assessment and these offtake milestones, we are advancing across regulatory, technical and commercial fronts toward a construction decision. We look forward to building a long-term partnership with Boliden and are proud to align with organisations that share our values around responsible sourcing and long-term collaboration.' The final binding offtake agreements with Boliden and Aurubis are anticipated to coincide with the completion of a comprehensive $700m debt financing package announced in March 2025. This financial support is being organised by Société Générale, KfW IPEX-Bank, and Export Development Canada, with expected backing from European export credit agencies. Troilus Gold's debt financing efforts are supported by Auramet International and Ocean Partners USA, which are advising on the structuring and negotiation of the offtake strategy. The company is progressing towards a construction decision for the project.
