Ernie Conwell

Conwell suffered through a variety of knee and back injuries in 2005 and was only able to play eight games as a result. During his absence, Zach Hilton emerged as the Saints' go-to tight end, catching 30 passes over the team's final seven games. Conwell had surgery on his injured knee in November and is still not fully recovered as training camp begins. Head coach Sean Payton stated that Conwell will have to prove himself during camp in order to keep his starting job, and though Conwell is still listed at No. 1 on the depth chart, Hilton represents the team's future at tight end and has more fantasy value than Conwell.
