Compared to earlier this week, Friday has been a quiet day on the transaction front, but a number of teams have still made moves. Here’s the full rundown:

Arizona Cardinals

Re-Signed: OL Greg Long
Released: TE Deon Yelder

Cincinnati Bengals

Signed: OL Nathan Gilliam
Waived: LB Carson Wells

Jacksonville Jaguars

Released from IR via injury settlement: K Elliott Fry

New Orleans Saints

Re-Signed: K John Parker Romo
Placed on IR: OL Sage Doxtater and Forrest Lamp

New York Giants

Signed: OL Chris Owens and Josh Rivas
Waived: DT Christopher Hinton
Placed on IR: WR Robert Foster

Pittsburgh Steelers

Released from IR via injury settlement: LB Ulysees Gilbert

Lamp, a second-round pick of the Chargers in 2017, played sparingly in his first two years but was a full-time starter in 2020. With the team making upgrades up front, though, he found himself playing in New Orleans this past season. After suiting up for over 1,100 snaps the year prior, Lamp saw action on just five special teams plays with the Saints, meaning that his roster spot wasn’t assured anyway.

Saints Announce 17 Undrafted Free Agent Signings

May 1st, 2022 at 6:09pm CST by Ely Allen

The Saints are one of the first teams after the 2022 NFL Draft to officially announce their undrafted free agent class. Here’s New Orleans’ full list:

Dai’Jean Dixon, WR (Nicholls State)
Sage Doxtater, OL (New Mexico State)
Joel Dublanko, LB (Cincinnati)
DaMarcus Fields, CB (Texas Tech)
Vincent Gray, CB (Michigan)
Lewis Kidd, OL (Montana State)
Jack Koerner, DB (Iowa)
Lucas Krull, TE (Pittsburgh)
Smoke Monday, S (Auburn) ($120,000 guaranteed, according to PFF’s Doug Kyed)
Isaiah Pryor, LB (Ohio State)
John Parker Romo, K (Virginia Tech)
Derek Schweiger, OL (Iowa State)
Nephi Sewell, LB (Utah)
Rashid Shaheed, WR (Weber State) ($222,000 guaranteed, according to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network)
Abram Smith, RB (Baylor) ($222,000 guaranteed, according to Wilson)
Daniel Whelan, P (UC-Davis)
Eric Wilson, OL (Penn State)

New Orleans only had five draft picks after having to forfeit a sixth-round pick due to COVID-19 violations, so their UDFA class was going to be important for adding depth.

After seeing Marcus Williams depart for Baltimore in free agency, the Saints were seeking some depth at safety. After failing to address the position in the Draft, the team has reportedly picked up its pursuit of free agent Tyrann Mathieu. They also signed some UDFAs with safety potential for some cheaper depth options.

They were able to nab some quality names like Monday and Pryor and managed to bring in some camp competition for kicker Wil Lutz and punter Blake Gillikin.
