Michael Floyd and John Montelus, two former Notre Dame Fighting Irish players trying to continue their careers in the NFL, were cut Friday by the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions, respectively.
Floyd and Montelus were among the 1,184 players who will lose their jobs as 30 pro teams trim their rosters to 53 players each by 4 p.m. Saturday.
Floyd, who had 10 catches for 78 yards in 11 games with the Minnesota Vikings last year, joined the Saints July 31.
