Present State of the Roster

The Saints presently have 82 players under contract. The draftees, assuming no bizarre hold-outs, will add 5 more. That gives us 87 total heading into training camp which can only have 90 slots. Here's the present position breakdown:

Offense:

WR - 11
T - 6
G - 7
C - 2
RB - 5
FB - 2
QB - 4


Defense:

DE - 9
DT - 5
LB - 12
CB - 9
S - 7


Special Teams

LS - 1
K - 1
P - 1

Considering that we usually bring in a second camp punter and kicker, that could leave the guys we have read about being invited to rookie mini camp fighting for one spot out of the 90. Long odds indeed

It is possible that we may part ways with a couple of signed UDFA's after the mini camp, OTA's, and mandatory mini camp which may open up another spot or two. It is also possible that there may be a few signed players might enter training camp on the PUP list and not count against the 90.

no TE's ???
