Jeff Duncan's take
https://saintswire.usatoday.com/lis...roster-projection-after-first-preseason-game/
John Siggler has put in his first roster projection. Much of the bad play was by the players he's projecting to be gone.
Zack Baun is not mentioned at all.
He's not listed as a player being kept or being cut. Not mentioned in the LB write-up....
Linebackers (5)
No. 56 Demario Davis
No. 20 Pete Werner
No. 59 Jaylon Smith
No. 45 Nephi Sewell
No. 43 Ryan Connelly
Roster cuts: No. 52 D’Marco Jackson, No. 42 Ty Summers, No. 58 Anfernee Orji, No. 40 Nick Anderson
This is a crowded group — it’s tough to not keep Orji or Summers on the roster, but the Saints have a lot of options at linebacker. New Orleans typically carries two linebackers on the practice squad so they could return after roster cuts. They didn’t sign Smith last week to cut him without getting a look at him first. Sewell and Connelly seemed like the most effective backups at linebacker against the Chiefs, and they each played a lot of snaps on special teams, too. Jackson has had a solid offseason after returning from an injury.
