Saints Make Eight Roster Moves

Doug Kyed of PFF reports that the Saints are signing CB Bryan Mills to a contract on Wednesday. 

The Saints have been in need of cornerback help for a few weeks now and made it clear that they would be adding someone at some point. 

Kyed adds the Saints are also signing OL Caleb Benenoch and OT Jordan Mills to a deal. Both worked out with the team recently.

Aaron Wilson reports S Natrell Jamerson is also signing with New Orleans. 

To free up space on the roster, Nick Underhill says the Saints are cutting WR Jake Lampman and CB Lawrence Woods, as well as placing OT Michael Brown on injured reserve. 

New Orleans is also waiving CB Adonis Alexander with an injury designation, per Underhill. 

Mills, 22, wound up going undrafted out of North Carolina Central this past April. He later signed a rookie contract with the Seahawks but was just recently waived.

During the 2019 season in college, Mills recorded 22 tackles, five interceptions, a half sack and 13 pass deflections over the course of 12 games.

Alexander, 24, was selected by Washington in the sixth round of the 2018 supplemental draft. He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $2.6 million but was waived by Washington coming out of the preseason in 2019 and re-signed to the practice squad. 

Washington later released Alexander from their practice squad. He caught on with the Rams’ practice squad and signed a futures deal for 2020 but was waived again coming out of camp. He signed a futures deal with the 49ers for 2021 but was cut back in May. 

In 2018, Alexader appeared in nine games for Washington and recorded four total tackles.
