NEW ORLEANS - The Saints have cut wide receiver Emanuel Sanders as the team continues to make big roster moves to maneuver under the NFL's salary cap.

Sanders played just one season with the Saints but was one the team's most productive members of the offense, with 61 catches and averaging 11.9 yards per reception. 

Releasing Sanders was just one of the moves by the Saints edging them closer to the new, lower 2021 salary cap.
