After a very busy day across the NFL, things are only going to get busier for each team. Making the initial 53-man roster certainly doesn't guarantee you a spot on Wednesday, as waiver claims, free agent signings and other factors will certainly mix things up. For New Orleans, there's a lot riding on getting this right, and there's a couple of areas they could stand to upgrade.

Ahead of all the madness, we're putting together a practice squad tracker to keep up with all of the movement for who goes back on the Saints and other players going elsewhere. Some players have to wait for waivers, but other veterans that are vested are free to sign anywhere.
