Saints cut Mellott from practice squad

Previous standout Montana State quarterback, Tommy Mellott, was released from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday afternoon.  

Mellott lasted nearly a month in the Bayou with the gold and black. He was previously cut on August 26th by the Raiders, who drafted the Bozeman phenom in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.  

The former quarterback is attempting to make the transition to wide receiver to maximize his athleticism into a potential weapon for NFL teams to utilize.  

On September 2nd, the Saints made the decision to bring Mellott onto the practice squad, with reports speculating that he could be similarly used like BYU product Taysom Hill. Hill has been listed as a quarterback, tight end, and receiver for New Orleans. 

In the preseason, Mellott caught two passes for one yard and had two kickoff returns for 63 total yards.  

Where Mellott goes next, it will sure then enough have Bobcat fans eager to see what’s next for the 23-year-old.
