The New Orleans Saints signed one of the free agents invited for a tryout earlier this week, with Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reporting that the Saints added the 6-foot-5, 258-pound Ethan Wolf. Wolf was among a group of four veteran tight ends to audition in front of Saints coaches. It’s unclear just yet which player was removed from the 80-man roster in a corresponding move.
So why the addition? Longtime co-starter Josh Hill has missed time with an injury Saints coach Sean Payton defined as a “tweak,” and two experienced backups opted out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 when training camp first kicked off.
