WR Michael Thomas

Placed on Reserve/Suspended list

DT David Onyemata

We had previously heard about a number of these transactions, which you can find here (including full stories on Thomas, Siemian, and Freeman).

Among the notable additions to the list of cut players is veteran wideout Chris Hogan, who delayed a professional lacrosse career to return to the NFL. The two-time Super Bowl champ signed with the Saints back in July. Kevin White is another notable name to earn his walking papers. The former seventh-overall pick has been unable to hold a steady gig since leaving the Bears in 2019. He got into three games for New Orleans last season but mostly appeared on special teams.

Saints Cut Margus Hunt, Drop Roster To 53

September 5th, 2020 at 4:54pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here is how the Saints moved their roster down to 53 players Saturday:

Waived:

LB Joe Bachie
WR Emmanuel Butler
WR Austin Carr
DE T.J. Carter
LB Andrew Dowell
TE Garrett Griffin
CB Kemon Hall
WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
WR Juwan Johnson
RB Tony Jones Jr.
OL Jordan Steckler
TE/QB Tommy Stevens
OL Calvin Throckmorton
C Cameron Tom
DB Keith Washington
TE Ethan Wolf

Released:

Waived/injured:

RB Saquan Hamilton

Placed on reserve/PUP:

LB Kiko Alonso

Placed on IR:

DE Anthony Lanier

Placed on reserve/suspended list:

OL James Hurst

The Saints made some notable cuts on their defensive line, dropping Edwards and Hunt. The former played with New Orleans last season, while the latter was an offseason addition. The Colts cut Hunt earlier this year, doing so after previously extending him. However, New Orleans does have Malcom Brown back and re-signed David Onyemata in March. The Saints are pursuing Jadeveon Clowney as well.

Alonso suffered a torn ACL in the playoffs last year. He will miss at least six games. The Saints signed Fowler over the summer. The former Broncos auxiliary receiver worked out with Drew Brees and Emmanuel Sanders during the pandemic-induced NFL hiatus.

Stevens, like most of the players cut Saturday, profiles as a practice squad candidate. The Saints became involved in a strange controversy over the seventh-round pick, whom the Panthers coveted. It will be interesting to see if Carolina submits a waiver claim on Stevens.

NFL Reserve/Futures Contracts: 1/12/20

January 12th, 2020 at 8:16pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Vikings added a group of players on reserve/futures contracts today, and we also missed some of the Rams’ from earlier in the week. For a primer/refresher on what exactly these deals entail, click here.

Los Angeles Rams

DB Adonis Alexander
DL Marquise Copeland
WR Greg Dortch
OLB Jeff Holland
OG Jeremiah Kolone
OLB Jachai Polite
C Nate Trewyn
TE Ethan Wolf
QB John Wolford

Minnesota Vikings

Polite is the most well-known of the bunch. A highly regarded talent, he fell to the Jets with the 68th pick this past draft because of off-field concerns. He was shockingly cut by New York despite being an early third-round pick, and eventually ended up on the Rams’ practice squad.
