Here’s a new interview with former Mountaineer Travaris Cadet who’s doing a lot down in New Orleans to earn a roster spot. Even CBS Sports is covering his story.

TWEET: TE Ben Jorden Possibly to Join Carolina Panthers by Weeks End
Former App State standout TE Ben Jorden participated in the Carolina Panthers rookie mini-camp this past weekend. He is hoping to know if they will pick him up by the end of the week. If they end up passing on him I’m sure he will find a team somewhere or possibly look to a pro-league outside the U.S. like the CFL. I’m already a Panthers fan, so here’s hoping they keep him at home!
The News & Observer has a nice WRITEUP about the camp that features him. Former App State DT Gordon Witte also tried out over the weekend with the New Orleans Saints.
@APPSTATENATION hopefully by the end of the week

App State in the NFL: Both Cadet & Witte to Attend Saints Rookie Minicamp
According to the New Orleans Saints Rookie Minicamp ROSTER, not 1 but 2 former Appalachian State players will be busting their butts over the weekend. RB Travaris Cadet was picked up in free agency by the Saints, so no surprise there. But DT Gordon Witte will also be in attendance trying his best to make the team. He was a 2-time state champion in wrestling and an all-conference player back in high school, but got injured early on at App and had to medical redshirt his first year. By the end of his collegiate career he was a staple on the defensive line, and at 6’4″ 314lbs he’s got size. I’m not a Saints fan but if 2 former players end up on the team I might just be saying Who Dat before too long.
According to the Saints website, the minicamp involves 2 practices today & tomorrow, and 1 on Sunday. Good luck fellas.
NFL: New Orleans Saints Sign RB Travaris Cadet in Free Agency
UPDATE: Story is now confirmed by GoASU.
Just like with DeAndre Presley to the Chargers, I’ve got no “official” sources to prove this one. But according to some reliable sources on the Twitter Universe, Travaris Cadet is signing with the New Orleans Saints in free agency. The contract details are still being worked out apparently. According to one tweet, he is receiving a $30K signing bonus.
He goes to a team devastated by scandal, but hopefully he can make his mark on what I think will probably be a losing team. (To Saints Fans that keep emailing me: Yes I know Vegas has good odds for you so maybe I’m wrong, but I just don’t see it.) I’ll update this once I get some more official sources.
