The Saints and all other NFL teams must reduce their roster to a maximum of 53 players prior to tomorrow, September 5th, by 3:00 p.m. CST. Which means we'll be hearing about 22 players getting cut either today or tomorrow.
In anticipation of that, I have put together my final 53-man roster prediction of the year. Much of it is the same as my previous training camp version with a few changes. Since we haven't seen anything from C.J. Spiller because of a knee injury, I think they're going to place him on temporary IR. I had to get rid of Ryan Griffin, sadly. Joe Morgan makes the team simply because of a lack of options at wide receiver. I flipped a coin to decide which kicker will make the team. And I added an extra linebacker spot in exchange for a fifth defensive end.
Let me know what you think! Feel free to offer your own roster projections in the comment section below.
