continued altering their roster Tuesday as they cut veteran offensive lineman Khalif Barnes.
The 35-year-old Barnes spent portions of 2016 with the Saints, but didn't appear in any games. He re-signed earlier in May, but was released Tuesday after the team's fourth organized team activities practice.
