Saints release former Illinois State standout Cameron Meredith
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (81), a former Illinois State star, runs through drills during training camp on Friday in Metairie, La. Meredith was waived by the team Monday."It's unfortunate because he's someone that has worked hard. He's worked his tail off. And yet it was going to be hard for him to catch this group of younger guys that are competing."
He became a restricted free agent after his 2017 season was wiped out by torn ligaments in his left knee and signed a two-year, $9.5 million offer sheet from the Saints that Chicago declined to match.
