New Orleans Saints waive six players following roster cut deadline

The New Orleans Saints finalized their roster moves following the 2026 league deadline, parting ways with six players. Wide receivers Bub Means and Ronnie Bell were released after competing for spots in a crowded depth chart, alongside defensive lineman Jay'Viar Suggs and interior offensive linemen Xavier Truss and Torricelli Simpkins III. Additionally, kicker Charlie Smyth was designated for release after the team acquired Daniel Carlson. These players are now eligible to be claimed by other clubs across the league through the waiver wire process. While some may return to the New Orleans practice squad, others are expected to seek opportunities with teams requiring reinforcements at receiver, line, or kicker positions.
