In one of the more surprising moves so far this offseason, the New Orleans Saints released pass rusher Junior Galette after a string of incidents off the field.
The #Saints are releasing Junior Galette, source said. They’ve paid him $18M since last year. Wow.

Despite his solid production (10 sacks in 2014, 12 sacks in 2013), the Saints decided Galette’s troubles were too much and ended up taking the brunt of a massive contract.
Troubles aside, Galette is a talented pass rusher who will get looks from other teams.
