Saints Roster Projection: Linebackers
The New Orleans Saints roster will suffer some scheduled paring-downs this year, but knowing they’re coming won’t make it any less painful. Little more than half of the players on the 90-man roster going into training camp will still be here come opening day against the Oakland Raiders in September.
The New Orleans Saints roster needed a facelift at linebacker after several years of mediocrity. The unit never really recovered from the losses of Jonathan Vilma to knee injury and Scott Fujita to the Cleveland Browns, and has been treading water with underwhelming guys late in their careers like Scott Shanle, David Hawthorne, and Curtis Lofton.
Linebackers (5)
