Coaches and scouts hitting pro days hard, while vets like Cameron Jordan and Taisam Hill weigh their next moves. Seven former Saints still sit unsigned, waiting on that call. Since our last check, two landed spots. Defensive Lyman Jonathan Bullard signed with the Dallas Cowboys and defensive back to Royal Burgess Reupt.

Then 35-year-old Taisam Hill, versatile tight end and quarterback with lower rushing efficiency. Wide-out Dante Pettis led the team in yards per catch at 30. Cornerback Michael Davis, safety Ugo Amati, tight end Mason Pline, and offensive Lyman Landon Young, round out the group all between 26 and 31.
