The New Orleans Saints rookie offensive lineman John Leglue from their practice squad on Saturday, when he announced on social media that he would be accepting a spot on the Green Bay Packers’ active roster. Leglue had spent the season with the Saints ever since they picked him up during roster cuts in September.
Leglue was a versatile prospect out of Tulane, and a New Orleans native who was ecstatic to play for his hometown team. Leglue was tied with wide receiver Emmanuel Butler as the highest-paid members of the Saints practice at $10,000 per week.
