The New Orleans Saints handled the Los Angeles Rams in preseason exhibition on Thursday night, and now they have to pivot into team-building mode by deciding 36 or so roster cuts by 3 p.m. CDT on Saturday. Some of those players released from their contracts should return on the practice squad, so here’s the six most-likely candidates.
QB J.T. Barrett
The cumulative passing stats are less than impressive (6 of 11 for 63 yards, 1 INT) but stashing Barrett on the practice squad for a year makes some sense. Drew Brees will obviously start, Teddy Bridgewater will be his understudy, and Taysom Hill will go wild on special teams.
