Current Saints 53 man roster after cuts

We can't go into the season with 8 olinemen can we?

Historically, 9 seems like the normal number the Saints carry to start the season. Seems like they must be going to bring in someone.

They could roll with just 8 linemen on the 53.

That's a bit light but if they carry an extra lineman or two on the practice squad that could round out the unit but then the PS players are exposed to being poached.

One thing to keep in mind is that if a team has at least 8 linemen active on gameday they get an extra roster spot. That's a freebie and a must whether needed or not.
