The New Orleans Saints continue to work their way under the newly finalized $182.5M ($185.5M adjusted) salary cap. In doing so, they have decided to part ways with veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins.
The #Saints have informed CB Janoris “Jackrabbit” Jenkins that they are releasing him, source said. He was due $11.2M this year, with a cap hit of $14.2M.

The cut saves the Saints $7M against the cap. The Saints have made significant progress knocking down their deficit, but are also now left without an immediate option opposite Marshon Lattimore, who the Saints are interested in extending.
