The Saints joined the list of teams parting ways with veterans before final cuts this weekend.
According to Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints have released defensive end Jason Jones.
Jones was signed Aug. 12, and had played well in the last two preseason games, but the Saints are apparently going with younger and cheaper options.
The 31-year-old Jones had 3.5 sacks for the Dolphins last year, and has been a solid rotational end for the Lions, Seahawks and Dolphins over the course of his career, with 31.5 sacks in nine seasons.
Teams have to get from 90-man rosters to 53 by Saturday afternoon.

Thought he looked pretty good. Guess it came down to numbers. He is still a serviceable DE.

I guess they did it now as a favor to him so he could latch on to another team?

Probably. He's good enough to make a roster, but he's not going to make it over Hendrickson, Muhammad, Tapp, Loewen, & maybe even Gwachum.
If we cut John Phillips, Tony McDaniel, Mauti, or Bryan Braman...I woudn't be surprised if someone picked them up.

Most notable early cuts are to give the player a chance to latch on with another team.

Saturday is going to be muy loco.
Over a thousand players released all at once for the first time?
Tell me there won't be some shenanigans going on. Looking at you Bill

I am expecting a lot of players who mysteriously have season ending injuries this week
