The New Orleans Saints had just five slots to add undrafted rookies after the draft, but the team made moves today to create extra roster space.
The Saints waived tight end Alex Ellis, linebacker Shayne Skov, guard Nate Theaker and offensive tackle John Theus, according to the NFL transactions report on Monday (May 7).
Ellis, Skov and Theaker were all members of the practice squad in 2017 and signed reserve/futures contracts at the beginning of the year. The Saints claimed Theus off waivers from the Carolina Panthers in February, but he was waived with an undisclosed injury.
