This means you can expect the Saints to sign 3 players in the very near future to fill out their roster. Keep in mind Will Smith, Charles Grant and Garrett Hartley are currently awaiting suspensions and they fill out the 53 man roster. It's possible the Saints could bring back some of the recently released players once they officially go on suspension.
