Saints Sign Anthony Chickillo, Margus Hunt To Practice Squad

September 6th, 2020 at 4:04pm CST by Sam Robinson

Two of the Saints’ most notable Saturday cuts will stay with the team. Both Anthony Chickillo and Margus Hunt opted to stay with New Orleans, joining the practice squad Sunday.

The Saints signed Chickillo, a five-year Steelers linebacker, and Hunt — a former first-round defensive lineman whom the Colts cut earlier this year — earlier this year. Each will represent a veteran slot on the Saints’ P-squad.

Teams are permitted, thanks to the COVID-19-altered rules, to carry six veterans of unlimited service time on their taxi squads this year. Here is New Orleans’ full squad:

LB Joe Bachie
LB Anthony Chickillo
LB Andrew Dowell
WR Bennie Fowler
TE Garrett Griffin
CB Kemon Hall
WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
DL Margus Hunt
WR Juwan Johnson
RB Tony Jones Jr.
TE Tommy Stevens
OL Calvin Throckmorton
G/C Cameron Tom
DB Keith Washington Jr.

Saints Cut Margus Hunt, Drop Roster To 53

September 5th, 2020 at 4:54pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here is how the Saints moved their roster down to 53 players Saturday:

Waived:

LB Joe Bachie
WR Emmanuel Butler
WR Austin Carr
DE T.J. Carter
LB Andrew Dowell
TE Garrett Griffin
CB Kemon Hall
WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
WR Juwan Johnson
RB Tony Jones Jr.
OL Jordan Steckler
TE/QB Tommy Stevens
OL Calvin Throckmorton
C Cameron Tom
DB Keith Washington
TE Ethan Wolf

Released:

Waived/injured:

RB Saquan Hamilton

Placed on reserve/PUP:

LB Kiko Alonso

Placed on IR:

DE Anthony Lanier

Placed on reserve/suspended list:

OL James Hurst

The Saints made some notable cuts on their defensive line, dropping Edwards and Hunt. The former played with New Orleans last season, while the latter was an offseason addition. The Colts cut Hunt earlier this year, doing so after previously extending him. However, New Orleans does have Malcom Brown back and re-signed David Onyemata in March. The Saints are pursuing Jadeveon Clowney as well.

Alonso suffered a torn ACL in the playoffs last year. He will miss at least six games. The Saints signed Fowler over the summer. The former Broncos auxiliary receiver worked out with Drew Brees and Emmanuel Sanders during the pandemic-induced NFL hiatus.

Stevens, like most of the players cut Saturday, profiles as a practice squad candidate. The Saints became involved in a strange controversy over the seventh-round pick, whom the Panthers coveted. It will be interesting to see if Carolina submits a waiver claim on Stevens.

Cowboys Add 13 UDFAs

April 30th, 2019 at 6:02pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Cowboys announced their 13-man UDFA group Tuesday. One familiar-looking name appears on this list. Here is the full contingent:

Larry Allen Jr., OL (Harvard)
Andrew Dowell, LB (Michigan State)
Luke Gifford, LB (Nebraska)
Jalen Guyton, WR (North Texas)
Nate Hall, LB (Northwestern)
Mitch Hyatt, T (Clemson)
Jon’Vea Johnson, WR (Toledo)
Brandon Knight, T (Indiana)
Justin Phillips, LB (Oklahoma State)
Derrick Puni, T (Central Missouri)
Ricky Walker, DE (Virginia Tech)
Chris Westry, CB (Kentucky)
Daniel Wise, DE (Kansas)

Allen is indeed the son of Hall of Fame Cowboy Larry Allen. Like his father, Larry Allen Jr. primarily works as a guard. He earned first-team All-Ivy League honors twice. While Clemson’s defensive line received the draft attention, Hyatt was a two-time first-team All-American.

The younger brother of Patriots defensive end Deatrich Wise, Daniel Wise was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 player. Westry stands 6-foot-4, making him a natural fit for Kris Richard‘s scheme. One of three linebackers in this group, Phillips led Oklahoma State in tackles last season. Dowell was among the Big Ten’s 2018 tackle leaders, registering 97 with the Spartans as a senior.
