Robertson, who signed a three-year, $5 million deal with the Saints this offseason, is expected to backup Dannell Ellerbe at weak-side linebacker, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson averaged 84 tackles the past four years, playing both inside and outside linebacker for the Browns. While he will likely start the year in a reserve role, Robertson should provide critical depth at a number of positions, including behind the oft-injured Ellerbe, who has only appeared in seven total games the last two season as a result of various injuries. Should Ellerbe or any of the other Saints' starting linebacker miss time during the year, Robertson would be the likely beneficiary in IDP leagues.
