Report: Saints trading Jalen Saunders to the Patriots

The New Orleans Saints, as well as the rest of the NFL clubs, face big decisions today as they’ll each be required to trim their roster to 75 players by 4PM EST. The Saints have one less cut to worry about today, as ESPN Insider Adam Schefter is reporting that the team is trading wide receiver/returner Jalen Saunders to the New England Patriots.

Saints are trading WR/return specialist Jalen Saunders to the New England Patriots for a conditional draft pick, per league source.
