NFL roster cuts have finally come and gone as teams set their initial 53-man rosters. For the New Orleans Saints, this is only the start of the team-building process ahead of week one against the Green Bay Packers. On today's Locked On Saints, Ross breaks down the initial 53 and the moves to expect going forward.
Will the Saints send any of the multiple injured reserve candidates to IR like Adam Trautman, Nick Vannett, or Wil Lutz? Will they pursue a different kicker off of waivers with Jake Verity having been waived? The linebacker room is a little crowded with both Chase Hansen and Andrew McDowell making the cut, could that decision be indicative of Kwon Alexander's availability early in the season? So many questions to ask, but some good news to celebrate with fan-favorites Tony Jones Jr, and Juwan Johnson making the roster.
Sean Payton also had some big news to drop on Tuesday. The Saints have officially announced Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback and what Taysom Hill's role will look like in the 2021 NFL season. The team also looks to heard to TCU, where many players have Louisiana roots, to continue their practice week in preparation to open their season as a currently undisclosed location with the Cesars Superdome currently not being an option.
