The New Orleans Saints are set to have several intriguing position battles in training camp this year, but that also means some will be heading to a new city.

With all good news, there comes a difficult realization that tough decisions had to be made to reach the desired outcome. The New Orleans Saints are no different after a spectacular offseason capped off by a terrific NFL Draft.

For the Saints, their ideal outcome is to win the NFC South for the fourth consecutive season and make a legitimate run at the Super Bowl in what could be the final year for Drew Brees. They’ve mortgaged their future to do so.

The difficult decisions lay in the preseason workouts, training camp battles, and final cut days, many of which are extremely tough battles for the final spots. Several of the UDFAs will see their careers make or break by these roster decisions.

The Saints have a surplus amount of talent, but the correct choices must be made to garner the best from what they have and begin their quest to the big dance. Here’s a look at five Saints players who could lose their jobs during the final 55-man roster cuts.
