The New Orleans Saints are going on a cutting spree, and it’s brutal to see. While many of these players haven’t been in the Big Easy long enough to call them fan favorites, there was optimism that the team could at least get something back for their services.
After getting word that the team was cutting linebacker Kwon Alexander earlier in the day, saving around $13 million, the Saints have also moved to release wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
