Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Looks like we officially have 10 UDFA’s under contract at the moment...

Saints waive four players in addition to releasing Coby Fleener | NOLA.com

After cutting the four young players on Monday, they had a chance to officially sign four other undrafted rookies that had already agreed to deals -- Colorado offensive tackle Jeromy Irwin, Tempe wide receiver Keith Kirkwood, Oregon defensive tackle Henry Mondeaux and Western Kentucky tight end Deon Yelder.

That brings the Saints up to 10 undrafted rookies officially signed. Last week, they inked deals with Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, South Carolina guard Cory Helms, Cincinnati defensive back Linden Stephens, Minnesota tight end Nate Wozniak, Mississippi State defensive back J.T. Gray and Tennessee linebacker Colton Jumper.

Probably didn't know until they got him "in house" for the physical. They have only had a chance to physically vet those players they saw at the combines or brought in as one of their official thirty visits.

AG, with just the drama of the last two seasons, I'd thought they'd done the physical before signing him or that the signing would be conditional per physical...

Now it could be the latter is what happened, but our roving beat reporters are not indicating that at his release...

We apparently claimed Theus off waivers back on February 28 when he was released by the Panthers. We never really "signed" him. It could have been something present at the time and the Saints were just waiting to see how it worked out. It didn't cost the Saints anything (other than a roster spot) because his contract was being paid by the 49er's, his original team.

Tried to tell you last year SP gets a bonus if he hits a certain number of moves per year.

All eyes on these guys at camp ...

DE (2) 92 - Marcus Davenport (R1, #14), 57 - Alex Okafor (FA 2018), 97 - Al-Quadin Muhammad

Specifically Muhammad. Hopefully this season he makes a huge jump.

And you got Trey Hendrickson with a year in now on NFL PT program and learning the nuances of the game...

Well, no excuses now, if Okafor is healthy, we've got the pass rushers now to make it an honest pass rush...
