With 8 days remaining till training camp, the Saints have yet to sign any of their 4 drafted rookies. Below you'll see the players drafted and their current status:Rd. 1: Malcolm Jenkins, CB unsigned
Rd. 4: Chip Vaughn, S, unsigned
Rd. 4: Stanley Arnoux, LB, unsigned
Rd. 5: Thomas Morstead, (pictured) P, unsigned
A little alarming when you consider that the other teams in the NFC South have all signed AT LEAST 4 drafted rookies to contracts. The good news is there's still a little time, and with one of the smallest draft class in the NFL it won't take much to get it done. It remains to be seen what the Saints will do with Stanley Arnoux who tore his Achilles tendon and is already out for the season prior to signing a contract. No reason to think the Saints won't sign him regardless, but you never know.
Mickey Loomis better get to work!
