The Saints waived former LSU and Louisiana Tech wide receiver Paul Turner Thursday (June 21), creating space for the arrival of running back Terrance West.
Both moves were announced on the NFL transaction wire Thursday, though West agreed to terms with the Saints last week.
Turner started his college career at LSU, signing in the same class as future NFL stars Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. He finished his collegiate career at Louisiana Tech, where he caught 87 passes for 1,171 yards and seven touchdowns in two seasons.
He faced an uphill climb to make the Saints as one of 13 receivers on the roster this offseason.
