The Saints<\/a> have started culling the roster a bit as the ebb and flow of roster spots continues in the wake of the NFL Draft. Wednesday\u2019s adjustments came with waiving\u00a0backup quarterback\u00a0Kellen Mond\u00a0and backup lineman\u00a0Tommy Kraemer, per\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Field Yates.<\/p>\n

Mond was a third-round selection for the Vikings out of Texas A&M. He was the seventh passer taken in a draft that led off with a franchise QB in\u00a0Trevor Lawrence\u00a0but otherwise stumbled out of the gates with\u00a0Zach Wilson,\u00a0Trey Lance,\u00a0Justin Fields,\u00a0Mac Jones,\u00a0Kyle Trask\u00a0and Mond following. As the third-string passer in Minnesota as a rookie behind\u00a0Kirk Cousins\u00a0and\u00a0Sean Mannion, Mond made one appearance in garbage time during a late-season loss to the Packers, completing two of three passes for five yards. He has failed to appear in an NFL game since, spending time on rosters or practice squads for the Browns, the Colts and, most recently, the Saints since then.<\/p>\n

Kraemer was an undrafted lineman out of Notre Dame in 2021, initially signing with the Lions. He started the year on the practice squad in Detroit but would eventually get promoted to the active roster and start three of nine game appearances as a rookie. Thanks to a back injury, Kraemer didn\u2019t end up seeing the field at all in 2022, and he signed with the Saints during camp last year. He went back and forth from the practice squad to the active roster in 2023, appearing in four games for the Saints, mostly playing on special teams.<\/p>\n

Mond became superfluous with fifth-round rookie\u00a0Spencer Rattler\u00a0joining last year\u2019s fourth-round pick\u00a0Jake Haener\u00a0on the depth chart behind starter\u00a0Derek Carr. The team also has utility man\u00a0Taysom Hill\u00a0still under contract, as well. Likewise, the team\u2019s\u00a0recent additions\u00a0of depth linemen\u00a0like\u00a0Shane Lemieux,\u00a0Justin Herron\u00a0and\u00a0Oli Udoh\u00a0meant less space on the roster for Kraemer.<\/p>\n
