Saints have vision for recent veteran additions Jay Bromley, Michael Ola

2 really good finds imo. LINK

The New Orleans Saints signed five of the players who participated on a tryout basis during rookie minicamp two weeks ago, and two of them will actually add experience to their respective position groups.

Defensive tackle Jay Bromley and offensive lineman Michael Ola both managed to impress enough during the three days of practice to earn spots on the 90-man roster and continue their NFL careers.

"Both guys we have a vision for," coach Sean Payton said Monday (May 21) of the veteran signings. "They're positions that are hard to find once the season gets started."

Bromley, a third-round pick in 2014, joins the Saints after four years with the New York Giants. Although he's started just four games, he has 55 games of experience, which is more than any other defensive tackle on the Saints roster.

Still, Bromley is just 25 years old, so perhaps the Saints have found another young contributor on defense.

Ola went undrafted in 2011 and didn't make his NFL debut until 2014 with the Chicago Bears, but during the past four seasons, he's made 31 appearances and 19 starts with four different teams -- the Bears, Chargers, Lions and Bills.

Although Ola has experience playing tackle and guard, Payton said the Saints view him more as a guard after his tryout.

"It's hard at those camps to stand out sometimes when you're a lineman, but those are experienced players that we think will add value," Payton said.
