The New Orleans Saints haven't wasted time reshaping their offseason roster a bit after the 2026 NFL Draft.

On Monday, the Saints have waived three offensive players, clearing space for newly drafted and signed players.

The three waived guys, via the NFL's transaction wire:

• RB Evan Hull
• WR Elijah Cooks
• WR Samori Toure

Hull is a 25-year old running back who appeared in six games for the Saints in 2025. He had 19 carries for 48 yards and one catch for six yards.

Cooks is an undrafted player who never got into a regular season contest for the Saints but does have 11 games of NFL experience with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which includes three catches for 38 yards.
