The only surprise here is Kevin Reddick. He was with the team last year and I had him on my final 53-man roster projection.
The Saints have already released linebacker Victor Butler, wide receiver Andy Tanner, tight end Travis Beckum, tackle Manase Foketi, safety Ty Zimmerman, and tackle Ty Nsekhe last night. They released Tim Flanders, Je'Ronn Hamm, Chidera Uzo-Diribe, and Tobias Palmer last week.
The Saints are now down to the league-minimum 75 players. Here is how the roster stands now:
QB Drew Brees RB Pierre Thomas WR Marques Colston |
TE Jimmy Graham TE Ben Watson TE Josh Hill TE Nic Jacobs OT Terron Armstead OT Zach Strief OT Bryce Harris OT Marcel Jones OT Tavon Rooks OT Thomas Welch OT Jason Weaver OT Manase Foketi OG Jahri Evans OG Ben Grubbs OG Senio Kelemente C Jonathan Goodwin C Tim Lelito C Matt Armstrong |
DE Cameron Jordan LB Curtis Lofton |
CB Keenan Lewis K Derek Dimke |
