New Orleans Saints release defensive end Darryl Tapp: source

For the second straight year, the New Orleans Saints have made a roster move with defensive end Darryl Tapp during the weekend of final cuts.

The team released Tapp on Sunday, one day after he made the initial 53-man roster, according to a source. The Saints cut Tapp and fullback John Kuhn to make room for two players they claimed on the waiver wire, quarterback Taysom Hill and wide receiver Austin Carr.

ESPN first reported that Tapp would be released.

Last year, Tapp was among the cuts leading up to the initial 53-man roster, but after being released that Saturday, he re-signed with the team Monday.
