Sean Payton explains why the Saints signed an extra kicker and snapper
The New Orleans Saints created a stir by signing two specialists to the practice squad, including former Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh. Given the poor performance from Wil Lutz, who kicked for the NFC at last year’s Pro Bowl, there was some speculation that Walsh could be pushing Lutz for his job.
Saints coach Sean Payton downplayed the roster moves on Wednesday, saying that these additions are contingency plans in case of absences at spots where the team usually retains just one player.
