The moves were first reported by The Advocate’s Joel Erickson. The Saints have been extremely busy trying to fill out their roster for the 2016 season, and have added 10 total players under reserve/future deals.
For those wondering what exactly this contract is, it’s simple. A player signs a deal for the upcoming season with a team, in this case the 2016 year. Most of these players sign with the team without signing bonuses, agreeing on minimum salaries with their respective team. The deals are typically based on the years of experience in the league, and players signed under this deal were not a part of any active roster at the end of the season for any franchise.
