Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay called New Orleans Saints defensive end Payton Turner a potential roster cut that should be on other teams’ radar. There are some notable names on the list alongside Turner, but his status as a former first round draft pick does make him more appealing than others.
This designation meant two things for Turner, from Kay’s perspective. Turner may be released but has the talent to possibly contribute elsewhere. Kay argues Turner does indeed check both of those boxes:
He has the length and athleticism required to succeed on the edge at the professional level at 6’6″, 270 pounds while possessing plenty of explosiveness and power within that frame.
