The expectation was that the New Orleans Saints would release veteran nose tackle Malcom Brown as a salary cap casualty, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the team cut a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to trade him instead.
Brown was a part of some stout Saints defenses upon signing with the team back in 2019, anchoring a run defense that ranked among the best in the league.
