Arnold will be forced to compete for a spot on the Saints' roster during training camp and the preseason, Sean Fazende of Fox 8 News New Oreans reports.
With Jared Cook and Josh Hill locked in as the top two tight ends on the depth chart, a competition appears to be brewing for the No. 3 gig. In addition to Arnold, Garrett Griffin and seventh-round rookie Alize Mack are in the mix for the third spot on the depth chart in what should be a wide-open race. Over 10 games with the Saints in 2018, Arnold -- who played wide receiver in college -- showed some promising pass-catching upside, snaring 12 of 19 targets for 150 yards and one touchdown. The Saints may want Arnold to take a step forward as a blocker if he's to come away with a roster spot this fall.
