METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints have released safety J.T.Gray, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday.
Gray, who joined the Saints in 2018 as an undrafted rookie free agent, was a special teams standout and team captain. He has been a first-team All-Pro Selection twice and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021 as a special teamer.
"That was one of the hardest things so far this year. It was a challenging move, he's a really good special teams player and a really good player," Moore said.
Moore said Gray's release came down to roster flexibility and was not related to the hamstring injury he had earlier in the summer.
