The 2019 NFL offseason is almost over with training camp & preseason wrapping up, so it’s time for the final projection for the New Orleans Saints 53-man roster. This Saints 2019 team has more depth than in recent years, so New Orleans will be faced with tough decisions at RB, WR, OL, DL, CB & S. There are some heated roster battles that have been ongoing throughout Saints training camp & the NFL preseason, including the backup QB battle between Teddy Bridgewater & Taysom Hill.

At running back, Alvin Kamara holds the top spot & Latavius Murray solidifies the #2 spot, but Carter projects a surprise cut at RB3 with Devine Ozigba earning the nod over Dwayne Washington. The Saints WR corps is stacked with Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Jr. & Tre’Quan Smith locks at WR. Could Lil’Jordan Humphrey end up sneaking onto the roster?
On the defensive side, the Saints have 9 DL making the final roster, which includes David Onyemata who is suspended for week 1 vs. the Houston Texans. At CB, Marshon Lattimore & Eli Apple are locks. There could be some surprise roster cuts including Ken Crawley & Kayvon Webster. The Saints could keep 5 safeties on the roster, consisting of Marcus Williams, Vonn Bell & Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Two safeties who could be shockingly cut are veteran Marcus Sherels & rookie Saquan Hampton. A lot of the players who just missed the cut will likely earn a spot on the Saints’ practice squad.
