Cadet only received an $80,000 signing bonus on his one-year contract with the Saints, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The contract suggests Cadet may ultimately have to fight for a roster spot, though he looks like a lock when merely taking the current composition of the team into account -- albeit with the draft still to come. If the Saints do improve their backfield through the draft, Cadet might be left to compete with 2016 seventh-rounder Daniel Lasco and 2015 seventh-rounder Marcus Murphy for only one or two roster spots. While his current footing may be less than stable, Cadet does have a strong track record as a useful pass-catching option for Drew Brees.
