The New Orleans Saints‘ roster cuts are underway.
The deadline for NFL teams to trim down their rosters from 90 to 75 men is today 3:00 PM CST. With 89 men left on the roster after the Saints were able to deal receiver/return specialist Jalen Saunders, who was bound to be cut due to rookie Marcus Murphy‘s emergence, Sean Payton and company continued with the mandatory flurry of moves by parting ways with fullback Erik Lorig, OL Antonio Johnson, linebacker Chris Young, linebacker Ronald Powell, defensive end Markus Pierce-Brewster and wide receiver Lance Lewis, according to multiple reports.
