Flurry of Activity from Saints Heading into Week One

The New Orleans Saints, in the week leading up to their first game of the 2016 regular season, are bringing in for tryouts, everybody but the kitchen sink. The sink was unavailable having signed a one-year tender with the Cleveland Browns earlier in the day.

Kicker Kai Forbath was released having just made the 53 man roster and is being replaced by rookie Wil Lutz out of Georgia State, recently released by the Ravens. Sean Payton is said to have received glowing recommendations on Lutz from the Ravens staff. Collegiately the kicker also handled kickoff and punting duties.
