Some players had their stock rise or fall significantly during the New Orleans Saints' preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars:
The New Orleans Saints traded defensive tackle Khalen Saunders to the Jacksonville Jaguars after the two teams faced off in the preseason on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
The Jacksonville Jaguars need someone to step up at wide receiver behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter Jr., and Parker Washington has made a strong case.
"Hill is still a playmaker when healthy, but the Saints could save $10 million towards the 2025 salary cap if they cut him. It's unlikely Hill does get cut, but he won't be returning to action in the first month of the season either. The Saints can stash Hill on PUP so he doesn't have to take a 53-man spot," Kerr wrote.
Tyler Shough's first preseason start for the New Orleans Saints did not produce the results that he and fans of the NFC South side would have hoped.
