Locks, near locks, on the fence, long shots: How Saints roster looks heading into preseason
This is a different team.
In each of the last four seasons, the Saints roster had a lot of spots that were in flux. The middle class was lacking, which meant that just about anything was possible. Sometimes players came in from out of nowhere and won meaningful jobs.
That isn’t the case this season. The roster is stacked at the top. You can go through and pick about 17 players on offense who are either locks or near locks to make the team, 18 on defense, and three on special teams. That leaves about 15 spots up for grabs. Guys are running ahead of the pack at the back of the roster, but most of the candidates are still clumped tightly together ahead of Thursday’s preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
