The Saints release a pair of veterans from the offense
The Saints have released WR Joe Horn and TE Ernie Conwell. Horn’s release was somewhat of a surprise as he’s been a solid player for the Saints. He missed a lot of time due to injury last season as he only played in 10 games (9 starts) and he caught 37 passes for 679 yards (18.4 avg) with 4 TD grabs. Ernie Conwell also missed a lot of time last season and was passed up on the depth chart by Billy Miller who was solid down the stretch for them. Conwell only played in 7 games last season (5 starts) and he caught 8 passes for 57 yards (7.1 avg) with 1 TD grab. Look for the Saints to try to re-sign Horn at a lower rate, but they will let Conwell walk.
