We'll likely keep 3 TE's, maybe 4.

Benjamin Watson
Michael Hoomanawanui
Josh Hill

Deon Yelder
Nate Wozniak
Garrett Griffin

He's got a shot.

Thought Wozniak is now rostered as a lineman?

Yelder reminds me of Ben Watson.

Precisely.

For me, Pierre Thomas comes to mind. I gave him no shot at making the team, much less becoming a very good player in New Orleans.

He is.

Yelder might grab the last spot of the 53 and see a couple of healthy scratch days.
For me personally, it would not break my heart to see Hill go. 5 years with Brees as your QB and your career high is 16 catches.

Saw an article about each team’s biggest battle. They had P.J. Williams and Crowley. I would say Okafor and Davenport. As far as tight end I see Watson and Hill after that we’ll have to wait for pre-season to find out.

I think Davenport takes it easily. I think Okafor peaked last season and Davenport will come out of the gates with at least that same level of effectiveness.

It's time for PJ to make a leap. Not sure if you caught it but Sean Payton did say he sees Jamerson as an outside corner so there's that.

Lol. He was a fan favorite!

Practice squad player and will maybe come in if someone gets hurt.

If he is really a good find, Payton certainly won't show much in the pre-season.
