A theme of New Orleans Saints training camp has been how often players they’ve let go have been snatched up by rival teams. Rookie offensive lineman Darrin Paulo joined that list when the Denver Broncos claimed him off of waivers on Aug. 30, making the Utah prospect the latest member of the black and gold to earn a quick turnaround for his next NFL opportunity.
Back at the start of training camp, the Saints waived a group of ten players according to NFL rules requiring rosters to thin down from 90 contracts to just 80. Three of them were signed right away: defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth, cornerback Deatrick Nichols, and wide receiver Tommylee Lewis.
