The New Orleans Saints added some depth to their backfield with Ty Montgomery. At the same time, they cut tight end, Mitchell Loewen.
It was unlikely Loewen was ever going to make the Saints’ roster. After spending the bulk of his career as a defensive lineman, Loewen finished up last season as a tight end, potentially giving him a higher ceiling.
