Saints: Wide receivers were the toughest cuts of them all

We thought the New Orleans Saints had a wide receiver dearth going into preseason, but the WR room doesn’t look too bad now.

Marquez Callaway shined in preseason, and his chemistry with Jameis Winston will be something to keep an eye on this year. Ty Montgomery and Lil’Jordan Humphrey have both impressed in training camp, and fingers crossed, Smith should return from injury.

The other regulars whose jobs are safe and sound: Michael Thomas and Deonte Harris, who is still awaiting his suspension.

With the final roster decided Tuesday afternoon, the Saints have cut wideouts Easop Winston and Kawaan Baker, each of whom showed glimpses of promise but ultimately couldn’t beat out the competition.
