Could any of these Saints be on the outside looking in when roster cuts are made this summer?

By Bob Rose | Canal Street Chronicles

he New Orleans Saints have had one of the league's elite offenses for most of Sean Payton's thirteen year tenure as head coach. Much of the reason for this is of course due to quarterback Drew Brees, imaginative game planning, and an accomplished offensive line. New Orleans has often been deep at the skill positions as well, allowing Brees the freedom to spread the ball all over the field. The Saints have star power with Michael Thomas at receiver, Alvin Kamara at running back, and now Jared Cook at tight end. There are a handful of young players who will be competing hard for spots on the 2019 roster though, and here are a few who could be surprise cuts

Dwayne Washington, running back

Washington was signed early last season after being waived by Detroit to provide depth behind Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram at running back. He rushed for 154 yards on the year, 108 of which came during the season finale against Carolina. Washington is a tough between the tackles runner at 6'1 223-lbs., and will once again be vying for a backup spot to provide insurance. The Saints have one of the better duos at running back in the league with Kamara and Latavius Murray, who was signed to a free agent deal after the departure of Ingram. Washington could be pushed though, especially by Devine Ozigbo, a versatile and sharp cutting back from Nebraska who went undrafted. Ozigbo has a similar running style to Ingram, and New Orleans has had success with undrafted talent at the running back spot before under Sean Payton.
