The Saints released wide receiver Cameron Meredith, according to Herbie Teope of The Times-Picayune (on Twitter). The Saints receiver previously reduced his base salary from $3.4MM to $1.3MM, but it wasn’t enough to save his job. 
It’s been a tough couple of years for Meredith since his breakout 2016 season, when he racked up 888 yards in just 14 games with the Bears. Meredith was supposed to be Chicago’s top receiver in 2017, but he suffered a devastating injury in the preseason which included a torn ACL and additional damage to his knee. After missing the entire year, he signed a two-year offer sheet worth $9.6MM with the Saints as a restricted free agent.
He never really recovered while with the Saints, and he was placed on IR after just six games with last year due to issues with the same knee. He finished with only nine catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in his first (and only) season on the field in New Orleans.
Meredith has yet to participate in any offseason practices and had to undergo a knee scope earlier this year. Still, he’s only 26 and offers potential, so he should find his way back to the NFL once he’s healthy.
Giants should sign him
Giants will take em haha
At the time I thought the Bears blew it when they didn’t match the Saint’s offer. But they must’ve known something the Saints didn’t.
I felt the same way, but I believe shortly after the offer sheet it was mentioned that the Bears were unsure about his physical coming back to where they liked it. which is what lead to them letting him go.
The Bears weren’t about to gamble on Meredith having just been burned by the always injured Kevin White.
The Bears doctors knew that his knee wasn’t healing properly and advised the team not to spend big money on him.
He will go to the Giants
Bears fans (whcih I am apart of) all were mad about the Saints move. Hopefully he comes back healthy.
