The Saints must have a positional need to fill, and they’ve found a guy to help them clear a spot.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Saints are releasing linebacker Stephone Anthony.
There’s apparently a clear sense they’ll bring him back at some point, so this looks like short-term cover. They’re a little undermanned in the backfield at the moment, with running back Alvin Kamara dealing with some degree of ankle injury.
The Saints drafted Anthony in the first round in 2015, traded him to the Dolphins in 2017, and brought him back in September after he was cut by the Jets.
UPDATE 2:51 p.m. ET: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Saints are signing running back Zach Zenner, formerly of the Lions.

I dont know much about him but he was drafted in the first round so he must have been pretty good. The Saints D is really good so not being a starter there isnt as bad as it sounds.

By the sound of it, it looks like the Saints are not even concerned that another team would snatch him.
And Chiefs fans here will be desperate to sign him anyways.

Darron Lee was a 1st round pick as well and is garbage. Players aren’t going to come into this system and have a come to Jesus, change of scenery type of turnaround and all of a sudden realize their full potential.
