Saints cut Rishard Matthews with ‘left squad designation’, report says
Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports Some interesting news has developed off Airline Drive in Metairie on this Saturday evening. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the New Orleans Saints have cut veteran wide receiver Rishard Matthews. Per Yates, it’s a ‘left squad designation’, which actually happened with the Saints and Collin Buchanan back in May 2017. Per The Football Educator, this is the breakdown of what it actually means.
If a player leaves his club without permission after reporting to training camp, the club may place the player on its Reserve List as Left Squad, pursuant to the restrictions and procedures that appear in this section.
