The New Orleans Saints waived wide receiver Bub Means, a fifth-round draft pick in 2024, as part of their roster cuts on August 29, 2026. Means, who struggled with injuries during his time in the league, had shown promise with 41 catches, 721 receiving yards, and six touchdowns in college. After a strong start to preseason, his performance diminished, contributing to the decision to release him. The Saints may consider bringing Means back for their practice squad if he clears waivers following these roster moves.
- •Bub Means is a third-year player from the 2024 draft class.
- •He dealt with injuries, including a high-ankle sprain in 2024.
- •Means had a productive college season with Pittsburgh in 2023.
- •The Saints may still look to add him to the practice squad.
