POSITION REVIEW
While the Saints experienced numerous injuries to the linebacker corps the past regular season, the position group was equipped with quality depth.
The Saints began the 2017 offseason with Craig Robertson, Stephone Anthony, Dannell Ellerbe, Nate Stupar, Travis Feeney, Adam Bighill and Royce LaFrance on the roster, but the early part of January produced significant change in leadership.
