When the New Orleans Saints passed out their Super Bowl XLIV championship rings last week, several members of the team spoke about the bittersweet nature of seeing that great team gather together for perhaps the last time.
New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton offers instruction Monday at the team’s practice facility in Metairie.
But the truth is when the Saints begin training camp July 29, the team will be something very close to the 2009 version. There will be fewer jobs available on the 2010 Saints roster than at any other time under Coach Sean Payton.
Still, Payton said he’s not approaching the upcoming camp or season with any predetermined mindset. The organization does not have a number, however vague, in mind in terms of how many roster spots might be up for grabs.
