August 25, 2003
New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints released 12 players, it was announced today by Executive Vice-President/General Manager Mickey Loomis. The Saints must still trim their roster by two players to comply with the NFL's roster maximum of 65 players (not including NFL Europe exemptions) by 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

The 12 players released are CB Reggie Doster, G Shawn Draper, CB Lynaris Elpheage, WR Ira Gooch, S Corey Hall, WR Terrell Harris, RB Curtis Keaton, P Mark Mariscal, T Jared Peck, WR Terrill Shaw, FB Demetrius Smith and RB Walt Williams.

These moves bring the Saints' current active roster to 74 players - 67 plus seven players who participated in NFL Europe last spring and have a roster exemption until Aug. 31. On that date, all NFLE exemptions expire and teams must have a maximum of 53 players on their Active/Inactive list by 3 p.m. CT.

The seven Saints with NFLE exemptions are DT Jovon Bush, QB Chris Finlen, CB Deveron Harper, G Peter Heyer, T Scot Osborne, G Melvin Paige and DT John Schlecht.
