This special occasion marks Armstead’s return to the team as he is recognized as the “Saints Legend of the Game.”
Armstead’s Journey with the Saints

During his tenure, the Cahokia, Illinois native was a reliable starter, playing in 97 games and starting 93 of them at left tackle. His impact extended beyond the regular season, as he participated in all nine postseason games during his career with the Saints, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.
A Fitting Tribute
The Saints organization expressed their excitement about honoring Armstead this weekend, emphasizing the importance of his legacy within the team. The ceremony will take place before kickoff, allowing fans and players alike to pay tribute to a player who has left an indelible mark on the franchise.
As the Saints gear up for their matchup against the Cardinals, the presence of Armstead will undoubtedly bring an added layer of significance to the game. His contributions to the team’s identity and success will be acknowledged, reminding everyone of the hard work and dedication he brought to the field for nearly a decade.
The atmosphere at the Caesars Superdome is sure to be electric, as fans celebrate not only the start of a new season but also the legacy of a beloved player who has returned home.
