According to Nick Underhill, the Saints are trying out OL Pat Elflein, WR Lynn Bowden, and WR Keke Coutee this week.
Underhill also reports that the team recently hosted C Billy Price on Monday. According to Underhill, Elflein is waiting for a starting opportunity in the NFL again.
Elflein, 28, is a former third-round pick of the Vikings back in 2017. He was in the final year of his four-year, $3.74 million contract and set to make a base salary of $899,500 for the 2020 season when the Vikings waived him after one game.
He was claimed by the Jets and played out the rest of the 2020 season in New York. He signed a three-year, $13.5 million deal with the Panthers that included $6 million guaranteed in 2021 and made a base salary of $1,035,000 this past season.
Elflein underwent season-ending hip surgery back in October and was released by the Panthers back in March.
In 2022, Elflein appeared in six games and started each appearance at center.
We will have more news on the Saints’ tryouts as they become available.
