The New Orleans Saints went through their roster and made many tough decisions cutting it down from 80 players to just 53, and their work isn’t finished just yet. Waiver wire pickups and practice squad acquisitions are sure to follow as more tweaks are made ahead of Week 1.

In the meantime, here is the full list of roster moves made by the Saints in accordance with NFL rules on Saturday:

Players released by the Saints

• LB Anthony Chickillo
• DE Mario Edwards Jr.
• DL Margus Hunt
• WR Bennie Fowler
• OL Patrick Omameh

Because of their veteran status with four or more accrued NFL seasons, none of these players are subject to waivers.
