Here's the thing, informed fans, studio analysts, beat writers all project they'll keep three (3) tight ends, as many teams do - it is a norm...

But if four guys play well in camp, show value to the team, then the Saints will keep four (4) and then could come back and drop one for slacking, injury, or other...

It's not a team or league limit of three (3) tight ends - it's just a norm...

Should Taysom Hill win the backup job outright, then the Saints may only keep two (2) quarterbacks - so that's an extra tight end, edge rusher, or defensive back...

We'll see who they keep at TE. Yelder likely makes the team unless he screws up. The Savage QB is a goner with JT on board now. So we keep TH and JT at QB.

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.

I like Hill. He's a crazy good blocker and he can catch. Maybe not the best route runner, but the guy is all heart and team. He makes the running game better.

Does this guy even have accurate throwing mechanics? I don't think he's the next best thing ... even as a back up.

If Yelder shows out at training camp then I think he makes it onto the final 53. At least I hope so because we need some fresh talented bodies playing tight end......right now we are average at best.

Oh yes, thank god Fleener is gone......but I hope he's alright!

Watched some of his tape.

Yelder reminds me of a young Antonio Gates. Similar size, speed, quickness and HANDS
