Mike Gillislee became the newest member of the New Orleans Saints roster right before the start of the 2018 season, adding another credible running back to the rotation to help things along with Mark Ingram out the first month of the year.

Here is a look at Gillislee in action at his best, in last year’s regular season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, when, as a Patriot he rushed for three touchdowns.

The New Orleans Saints have not made any contract agreements with free agents so far, but other moves have still been made. Dante Pettis has been re-signed, Davon Godchaux was traded for, and now, per Josina Anderson, the Saints have given DT Nathan Shepherd a 1-year extension.

Shepherd may have not have the best season last year, so this may be a bit surprising, but keeping him as a depth piece is wise. Also, with Shepherd’s previous cap number slated to be around $7 million next season, an extension should bring down that number. It will be interesting to see Shepherd’s role in Staley’s...

Going into free agency, the New Orleans Saints were set to lose some important players. Paulson Adebo and Chase Young led this group, and with a big transition happening on the Saints’ defense, somehow bringing back at least one of these players should be a goal of this team. The apparent issue is the cap space, and we have already seen that impact. CB Paulson Adebo is set to sign with the New York Giants, per Ian Rapoport

Losing Adebo will have a massive impact on this defense. With Kool-Aid Mckinstry on the outside and Alontae Taylor probably being moved back to slot corner, New Orleans...
