Position-by-position depth chart for players at Saints rookie minicamp
There are 55 players on the New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp roster. Here's how each position stands on our unofficial depth chart.
New Orleans Saints players have already been hard at work in the team's offseason program, but it'll be a different experience at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center this weekend with 55 players competing at rookie minicamp. Two days of practices will give young players and free agents an opportunity to show coaches what they can do as they make their case for a roster spot. We took a deeper dive into the various groups participating -- rookie draft picks and undrafted free agent signees, eligible players already under contract, and dozens of tryouts hoping for an offer -- but here's a look at the makeup of each position group.
Names in bold text have either been drafted or have signed a deal. Everyone else is a free agent: QB (3): Braylon Braxton, Easton Stick (veteran), Kyle Trask (veteran) RB (3): CJ Donaldson , Rahsul Faison, Tawee Walker TE (3): Oscar Delp , Cody Hardy , McCallan Castles OL (9): Jeremiah Wright , Alan Herron , Alex Wollschlaeger , Easton Kilty , Joshua Braun, Mason Randolph, Matthew Bedford, Bob Schick, Davis Heinzen WR (8): Jordyn Tyson , Bryce Lance , Barion Brown , Damien Alford , Brock Rechsteiner, Javon Gipson, Kaleb Blaha, Mekhi Mews ST (4): Mason Shipley (kicker), Younghoe Koo (veteran kicker), Tristan O'Brien (long snapper), Caden Noonkester (punter) EDGE (3): Mike Heldman , Malakai Williams, Charles Esters III DL (6): Christen Miller , Keeshawn Silver , Jay'Viar Suggs , Coziah Izzard , Kam Hamilton, Ty Malone LB (4): Brayden Johnson, Johnny Chaney, Tah Banda, Sam Brumfield S (4): Lorenzo Styles Jr. , Elliott Davison , JT Woods (veteran), Eric Butler CB (8): TJ Hall , DaShawn Jones , Jeremiah McClendon , Dalys Beanum , Jayden Price , A'Marion McCoy, Jakari Foster, Solomon Barnes A couple of those tryout players could sign after minicamp and get a longer look over the summer at training camp.
The Saints will have one roster spot remaining once rookie free agent Zxavian Harris puts pen to paper, but there are several guys on the edge of the depth chart who could be let go if the coaches want to go in another direction.
