Seems the Saints and a couple of other teams bid a little for Turner. Highest base guaranteed (though still a small amount) and tied for highest bonus amongst our UDFAs.

Also confirms those guys as official signings.

Saints roster before draft at 68 plus 5 drafted an 19 =92 however as the draft picks have yet to sign i think they can be up to 95 an as each pick is signed someone needs to be cut.However now the draft picks sign fast.

Oh right yeah the picks aren't technically signed yet.

I forgot how that worked last year though. I don't know if you need to reserve a space to hold their rights.

Edit:
That would leave our traditional one space open for a tryout player, and room for two vet signings...

And then we'll cut as the picks sign.

So it appears Tommylee Lewis was an actual signing.

They must have seen something to really like a reciver that's 5'7", 168 lbs.

Edit:
After some digging, he'll be auditioning as a return specialist.

He was a 2015 2nd team All-ACC D-line selection along with Sheldon Rankins. Forty-six career starts and a career stat line of 175 tackles/ 29.5 tfl / 14 sacks/ 45 hurries. Let's hope this is another UDFA gem.

So 88 not counting draft picks. They usually have 89 heading into tryouts. When are those this year?
