Hakeem Nicks lasted less than two weeks with the New Orleans Saints before he was released on Monday to make room for long snapper Chris Highland.
Nicks, 28, was so excited about the prospects of joining the Saints' offense this summer that he said he was texting coach Sean Payton on a weekly basis. But the former New York Giants standout showed some inconsistency on the practice field and apparently didn't show enough for the Saints to keep him around.
Now Nicks might be running out of opportunities to get his career back on track.
