The New Orleans Saints have done some roster reshuffling in the weeks since the 2018 NFL Draft, with the release of linebacker Michael Mauti being the latest move, according to a source.
ESPN on Wednesday (May 16) first reported the release.
Mauti, a Mandeville native, played the last three seasons with the Saints, and he agreed to a one-year deal with the team in April. He played 11 games last season.
Mauti rejoined the team in 2017 after he went on the non-football illness list in November 2016 when he elected to undergo surgery aimed at curing his ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease.
