The New Orleans Saints took Cesar Ruiz with their first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and they appear to be having no regrets about that decision.
There’s no denying that the selection of Michigan’s center Cesar Ruiz shocked some Saints’ fans. They were expected Patrick Queen or potentially a player to bolster the team’s receiving corps or secondary.
What they got has far from disappointed.
Since Ruiz’s addition, the team has been able to release Larry Warford, saving around $8 million in cap space. Whether that additional space will be used to bolster their current roster or extend some players on expiring contracts is still yet to be seen.
