re: Saints claim two players off waivers, T and DT

This would put them at 4 WRs? That's odd.

You can split a back out, especially Etienne and Kamara

Not if Kamara is out week 1 though, then that only leaves 3 healthy RBs.

We signed Trey Palmer & Jalen Moreno-Cropper to the Practice Squad so either of them could be elevated for week 1.

Kevin Austin Jr made the 53 but was since waived for these 2 claims, so I'd guess he'll be back on the practice squad allowing him to be elevated also.

But with Tyson out at least 4 weeks I'd imagine Moore making a more "concrete" plan for 4 weeks instead of rotating the practice squad elevations between Austin Jr, Palmer, and Moreno-Cropper.

Yeah, wooden is a nice pickup.

I remember Packers fans being mad that they traded him last yr.

The dude looks like he has god give talent.
Might have just been a numbers game.

Not really. Austin is one of those guys that stays bouncing between the 53 and PS, and when we need a 5th receiver he gets called up for gameday, and if not he stays PS that week.

Plus there are a ton of replacements of his level around the league if he does get snatched (unlikely). We could sign Means to our 53 from Cleveland's PS for instance.
