With four players signed after the rookie minicamp, the New Orleans Saints needed to make room on the roster and conducted a transaction to free space Monday.
The Saints released safety Shiloh Keo, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Keo returned to the Saints in March on a one-year deal at the veteran minimum after joining the team as a free agent on a one-year deal in November.
The 5-11, 208-pound Keo appeared in seven games and contributed mostly on special teams, where he logged 130 snaps.
Keo was with the Denver Broncos for three games in 2016 before he signed with the Saints.
