Former LSU tight end Foster Moreau agrees to deal with Saints, expected to play in 2023 after cancer diagnosis
Foster Moreau’s football life paused this year after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Following positive news regarding his health, Moreau has found a home in free agency. The former LSU tight end is headed back to Louisiana on a three-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.
A visit with the Saints in March led to Moreau’s original diagnosis. New Orleans’ interest was no secret.
This is awesome 👏

Foster Moreau received a very positive diagnosis, per source. He's still getting treatment but it won't impact his participation. The Saints will bring him along slowly, but he is not expected to have any limitations.

Moreau appeared in 30 games for LSU from 2015-18. He was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and spent the first four years of his career with the Raiders, with whom he was a steady contributor.
At LSU, he was well-respected and wore the coveted No. 18, given each year to a player who best represents the program.
Moreau’s recovery is great news after he originally didn’t know if he’d play this year. His return home only makes this story better.
