2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

ChrisXVI · 08-23-2017, 07:20 AM

Want to add a DT? The Browns released this guy because he's 31 and coming off a torn pec but he's a decent player (logged 6 sacks in 2015) and he looks like he'd fit right in in Nola...

Sept 2 - teams must reduce rosters to a maximum 53 (active/inactive list). Only 10 days away.

Would have liked this signing four (4) months ago, but how does he make the 53-man roster?

Need to have someone to play in that fourth game in two weeks.

I'd start looking at the TE group to cut. We have like 10 of em ... none of which have really made any noise thus far in camp or pre season games.

Yes, cut TEs. Need the roster space. 3 is ideal, but cut all but Fleener and Hill. Sorry, Hoo-man (but what has he done here, exactly? He's been pedestrian).

Can use the spot better elsewhere (DL, RB). Gotta cut somewhere.

Yes, I know that leaves us 1 injury away but we would get someone off the street/practice teams or resign a cut if we needed another.

He's been injured till this season; but, he's a big part of getting the offense some semblance of balance an a running game to keep opposing defense honest...

3 additions but only 1 subtraction...

In: CB Elijah Mitchell, DE Bryan Braman, Max Unger (Officially off PUP)
Out: C Jack Allen

Two cuts/IR moves to come.
