Saints Clear Way for Rookie Stars

0:00On April 28, the New Orleans Saints cleared out some veteran spots on Monday to make room for their fresh rookie talent. They waved wide receiver Samori Ture, running back Evan Hull, and wide receiver Elijah Cooks, giving the young guns a clear shot at the roster. Evan Hull had a quiet year last season, rushing 19 times for 48 yards and snagging one catch for 6 yards over 6 games. Elijah Cooks bounced around, mostly on the practice squad here, with just 3 receptions for 38 yards in 11 games split between the Waza, Jaguars in 2023 and 2024. Now the Saints' backfield is stacked deep with Travis Etienne, Alvin Kamara, All-Channeler, Devon Neal, Kendre Miller, Audric Esteemey, and C.J. Donaldson. That depth means they're not sweating Hull's exit one bit. At receiver, they're hived about 8th overall pick Jordan Tyson, plus late round adds Bryce Lance and Barion Brown. These moves signal a youth movement, prioritizing speed and potential over experience.
