Saints cut Troy Evans
Posted by Mike Florio on August 24, 2010 8:36 PM ET
The New Orleans Saints have dumped several players on Tuesday. Most notably, they have severed ties with linebacker Troy Evans, the team's special-teams captain in 2008 and 2009.
Evans, an eight-year veteran, appeared in every game last season, starting twice. They were the first two starts of his career.
"Decisions like these are never easy to make," G.M. Mickey Loomis said in a team-issued released. "Troy Evans was an instrumental part of the Saints' Super Bowl XLIV Championship in 2009 and we are truly thankful for his hard work and dedication. We know that the fans of our team will be grateful for Troy's contributions and the way he contributed to our success both on and off the football field. "
"It's always difficult when you have to make decisions such as releasing players that have contributed as much to the Saints as Troy has," coach Sean Payton said. "Troy was our special-teams captain the past two seasons and provided us with tremendous depth at the outside linebacker position the past three seasons."
Also released were receiver Mark Bradley, receiver Rod Harper, guard Tim Duckworth, and cornerback Danny Gorrer.
