Well, that's interesting as he seemed to play some of his best ball from the interior...

That mentioned "curve" is the elephant in the room...

Judging by this pic here from rookie minicamp Onyemata is playing strong side DE.

Would anyone be opposed to bringing back Jahri Evans??

Anyone?

Does he have any gas left in the tank? I'd rather start developing a younger, hungrier, healthier player and get that young player the reps, snaps he needs than expending them on an older player who's probably not happy with what he's earning...

The New Orleans Saints began making roster moves with rookie minicamp in the books on Sunday.

It could be a busy few days. Last year the Saints cut veteran kicker Shayne Graham after a successful tryout by Zach Hocker.

Here's a running list of Sunday's moves as they come out. It's likely the Saints will not release a full list of moves until Monday.

2:15 p.m.: The Saints signed offensive tackle Tyrus Thompson, according to his agent. Thompson was one of several veterans in for a tryout during the weekend.

Thompson, 24, was a 2015 sixth round pick by the Vikings who spent time with the Jaguars and Lions.

4:59 p.m.: Receiver Jacob Lampman announced on Twitter that he was signing with the Saints. Lampman played at Ferris State in Michigan, where he caught 52 passes for 731 yards and eight touchdowns in his senior season. The East Lansing native was listed at 6 feet tall and 205 pounds in college.

5:20 p.m.: The Saints have signed Air Force tight end/long snapper Garrett Griffin, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.

The Saints must release at least two players to make room on the roster for the newcomers. The corresponding moves are unknown.
