The New Orleans Saints have officially trimmed down their active roster. Gone are players like WR Juwan Johnson and LB Wynton McManis, and instead there were surprise players to make the roster like P Blake Gillikin and James Hurst.
But there were also some surprising cuts.
DL Mario Edwards Jr. appeared in 14 games for the Saints last season, registering three sacks and two tackles for loss.
QB/TE Tommy Stevens was a 2020 NFL Draft day trade, with the Saints trading a 2021 6th round pick to draft Stevens out of Mississippi State in the 7th round.
