The Saints announced more than a few roster moves late yesterday following training camp practice. Following the release of a handful of rookie undrafted free agents and the signing of just one new cornerback, Trumaine McBride, the Saints are under the 90-player roster limit with a total of 88 players, by my calculations. That means they've actually got room to sign a couple of their own unrestricted free agents or make a splash by bringing in yet another top-notch free agent from somewhere else.
Below you'll find my latest attempt at a roster breakdown by position. Then you'll be treated to a complete, up-to-date roster (as of the publishing of this post) and full sortable Saints roster. That's followed by a list of the Saints remaining unsigned free agents, also in an easy to use, sortable table. But first, a quick recap of the action from the past two days.
