Moreau's visit to the Saints could be significant since his former Raiders quarterback, Derek Carr, recently signed with the team. However, the Saints already have re-signed tight end Juwan Johnson, who had a breakout season in 2022.
During his time with the Raiders, Moreau often played second fiddle to Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller.
However, he saw increased playing time when Waller was injured and recorded a career-high 55 targets, 33 receptions, and 420 receiving yards in 2022.

Entering his fifth NFL season, Moreau has a total of 91 receptions for 1,107 yards and 12 touchdowns on 132 targets across 61 games played.
Despite losing Darren Waller this offseason, the Raiders did not bring him back, and he remains a free agent.
The Cincinnati Bengals also visited with Moreau last week.
