Junior Galette had 10 sacks last season and 12 in 2013, and the Saints have reportedly paid him $18 million in the past year. And now, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, they are cutting ties with him.
Evan Woodbery of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Galette recently met with NFL officials concerning his arrest for domestic violence charges in January. The charges were dismissed, but then video emerged last month showing Galette striking a woman with a belt during a brawl in 2013. Rapoport reports that the Saints had been "frustrated" with Galette for a while.
