Saints Cut Chris Hogan, Kevin White, Get Down To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 6:49pm CST by Ben Levine

The Saints are down to 53. The team announced the following moves:

Released

FB Alex Armah
OL Caleb Benenoch
RB Devonta Freeman
WR Chris Hogan
DB Natrell Jamerson
OT Jordan Mills
DB KeiVarae Russell
QB Trevor Siemian
DT Damion Square
OL J.R. Sweezy
WR Kevin White

Waived

WR Kawaan Baker
DL Josiah Bronson
DB Eric Burrell
CB Grant Haley
DT Albert Huggins
OL Derrick Kelly
DL R.J. McIntosh
LB Wynton McManis
CB Bryan Mills
C Christian Montano
LB Shaq Smith
DB Deuce Wallace
WR Eason Winston Jr.
TE Ethan Wolf

Placed on Reserve/PUP list

WR Michael Thomas

Placed on Reserve/Suspended list

DT David Onyemata

We had previously heard about a number of these transactions, which you can find here (including full stories on Thomas, Siemian, and Freeman).

Among the notable additions to the list of cut players is veteran wideout Chris Hogan, who delayed a professional lacrosse career to return to the NFL. The two-time Super Bowl champ signed with the Saints back in July. Kevin White is another notable name to earn his walking papers. The former seventh-overall pick has been unable to hold a steady gig since leaving the Bears in 2019. He got into three games for New Orleans last season but mostly appeared on special teams.

Saints Sign 11 UDFAs

May 4th, 2021 at 4:00pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Saints have assembled their initial group of undrafted free agents. The four-time reigning NFC South champions agreed to post-draft deals with 11 rookies, per a club announcement. Here is New Orleans’ full list:

Josiah Bronson, DL (Washington)
Mike Brown, OL (West Virginia)
Eric Burrell, S (Wisconsin)
Nolan Cooney, P (Syracuse)
Alex Hoffman, OL (Carroll)
Stevie Scott, RB (Indiana)
Shaq Smith, LB (Maryland)
Dylan Soehner, TE (Iowa State)
Bryce Thompson, CB (Tennessee)
Trill Williams, DB (Syracuse)
Lawrence Woods, DB (Truman State)

Bronson received interest from several teams but agreed to sign with the Saints. New Orleans will guarantee $140K of Bronson’s base salary, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets. In addition to the base guarantee, Bronson will collect a $25K signing bonus. A Temple transfer who began his college career back in 2015, Bronson was a three-year Huskies contributor.

A tight end out of Iowa State, Soehner will receive a $120K base salary guarantee, veteran NFL reporter Aaron Wilson tweets. Scott will vie for a backup job with the likes of Latavius Murray, Ty Montgomery and Dwayne Washington. The Indiana product, however, will head to the NFL after seeing his production drop in each of his three college seasons. Scott’s 1,137 freshman-year rushing total came with a 5.0 yards-per-carry figure. By 2020, Scott averaged just 3.6 per tote in Big Ten play.

One of two ex-Orange players to join the Saints in this class, Cooney may have a clear path to a roster spot. The Saints released longtime punter Thomas Morstead this offseason and do not have another punter on the roster. Should Cooney make the Saints’ 53-man roster, he would join Riley Dixon as Syracuse punting alums in the NFL.
