Who expected Blake Gillikin to make the cut for the New Orleans Saints? And of those fans who put their bet on the undrafted rookie punter out of Penn State, how many expected veteran leg Thomas Morstead to stick around, too?
That’s the case now that the Saints have initialized their 53-man roster, with both punters still on board after a wave of players were waived and released Saturday. But the situation could change very soon: the Saints may be waiting a day or two to waive Gillikin and sneak him onto the practice squad, because any team that might poach him would have to let another player go.
