The Saints cut 8 players, including notable veterans in linebacker Jaylon Smith and cornerback Bradley Roby. Head coach Dennis Allen said there is a chance that Smith could be back in New Orleans, but that cutting Roby was extremely difficult.
Second-year training camp standout Alontae Taylor is expected to fill Roby’s role as the Saints’ slot corner.
