Saints Waive Evan Hull, Elijah Cooks, Samori Toure After Draft Additions

The post-draft cuts brought New Orleans under the NFL’s 90-player offseason cap.

Overview

  • The Saints placed waivers for RB Evan Hull and WRs Elijah Cooks and Samori Toure on the NFL transaction wire Monday.
  • New Orleans made the moves after adding draft picks, undrafted signings, and veterans such as Tyree Wilson and Anfernee Jennings, which crowded the roster.
  • The roster stands at 88 players after the cuts, leaving two open spots the team can fill in the coming weeks.
  • Hull appeared in six games for the Saints in 2025, Cooks did not play for the club last season, and Toure logged one game for New Orleans in 2025.
  • Competition at wide receiver tightened after the team drafted Jordyn Tyson, Bryce Lance, and Barion Brown, which made Toure’s exit widely expected.
