Rapid Reaction: Saints Release Junior Galette

The quiet before the storm of training camp broke a couple of days earlier than Saints fans were expecting. Per a series of tweets from Saints columnist for NOLA.com, Larry Holder, the New Orleans Saints have released star linebacker Junior Galette.

Junior Galette recently met with @NFL officials, who are looking into 2 off-the-field incidents. #Saints have been frustrated for a while. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 24, 2015

I can tell you the Saints wanted to make this move shortly after his January.

This move may come to a shock for some despite the two off-season incidents involving Galette.
