NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - In an offseason that was sure to bring wholesale cost-cutting, the Saints began with a bang.
On Wednesday, the team cut ties with Will Smith, Roman Harper and Jabari Greer and announced they would not re-sign Jonathan Vilma.
None of the moves was surprising, but all had to be difficult to make.
"I have coached and been around a lot of great players, and I put these four guys right there at the top," head coach Sean Payton said in a statement.
