The Saints have released Emmanuel Sanders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The wide receiver has since confirmed the news via social media.

Sanders joined the Saints on a two-year, $16MM deal this time last year. The veteran went on to notch 61 catches for 726 yards and five touchdowns. Even though he was productive, he was less efficient on a per-catch basis than usual. His 11.9 ypc average was among the lowest of his career and well below his finest work in Denver.
The Saints are facing a tricky cap situation, one that is compounded by Drew Brees‘ still pending retirement decision. Cutting Sanders will save $4MM on the books for 2021 with $6MM left in dead money, unless the Saints disperse the dead money hit via a post-June 1 designation. The Saints also cut Kwon Alexander earlier today so, between those two moves, they’ll free up $17MM in advance of free agency.
Sanders, a two-time Pro Bowler, drew interest from the Cowboys, Jets, Bills, and Packers in his last free agency stint.
To the pats
Back to the 49ers our 3rd option looking slim . A vet wr wouldnt hurt
Would be a good addition for Steelers if JuJu leaves but for sure he’ll have better offers than what they can afford
Lions
He would look good in Honolulu blue
Packers for the cheap ??
anybody would be good
Love love love Sanders. I hope Bill Belichick loves him too and brings him in
Chicago Bears.
Time for Brees to move on. He is a shell of his former self. This point he is only tarnishing his legacy. It is brutal to watch him play.
