Saints Cuts (MERGED): Bobby McCray released; Ladell Betts and Patrick Ramsey let go
 

Defensive end Bobby McCray has been released by the New Orleans Saints. NFL Network first reported it and it was later confirmed by WWL.

McCray signed a four-year deal for $20 million back in 2008 and ended up starting all three playoff games for the Saints during their Super Bowl run last year. He was then released earlier this summer and brought in at a reduced rate.

Sadly for the veteran though, the Saints built up a big group of talented defensive lineman including the young undrafted rookie Junior Galette. Galette improved a lot during the preseason and his fantastic performance Thursday night against the Titans may have been what made McCray expendable.

Running back Ladell Betts has also been released by the Saints as has been confirmed by his agent Tony Agnone. Betts was coming back from knee surgery and doing all he could to make the team, but young talent again won out.

Rookie Chris Ivory left Thursday night's game with a knee injury but there is no word yet on how serious it is. The release of the veteran could spell good news for Ivory as well as newly signed DeShawn Wynn who also played well against the Titans on Thursday night.

And it appears as if the Saints will only be keeping two quarterbacks on the roster this year and Chase Daniel beat out the veteran Patrick Ramsey. According to the Times Picayune, Ramsey's agent Jimmy Sexton is reporting that the team has let the quarterback go. No confirmations have been mad yet by the team.

Ramsey
 

Gone

I missed it ..did they announce he was cut

I was expecting that one, as well.

Nothing against the guy, but I'm pulling for Chase to get the nod for Drew's backup and I'm doubtful we'll keep 3 QBs

WWL.com, according to his agent

Kendrick Clancy to be released? (now confirmed)

per wwl sports twitter

I love our situation at O-Line, even the backups/draft picks look gd - Charles brown, Matt tennant. We have great depth at these positions

nola.com. sorry

The writing was on the wall for this guy.

I'm really liking what we're doing so far.

he'll be a phone call away, like last year.

gotta love that we have the confidence in the two rookies

I don't care if I like it or not... Hey they won the SB they can do any freakin' thing they want to, its all good.

No surprise here. Good luck to Patrick.

again, a phone call away- no one was really looking at him before we signed him

Good luck to Nick. Thanks for last season.

Now confirmed by Rotoworld

Saints released DT Kendrick Clancy.

Clancy was brought in for a one-week look-see, but the Saints were never going to guarantee his full 2010 base salary by keeping him on the Week 1 roster. He'll stay on their emergency list for in-season insurance purposes.


Kendrick Clancy

Hmmm ..i was hoping he would make it.....the guy was good at stopping the run...we need that...but i trust the FO..

Man they're dropping like flies on stinky poo

He'll be back after week 1.

That makes sense Danno

So that's it ... no more news?

WOOOOOHOOOOOO! NO PATRICK RAMSEY!!!!!!

Smashmouth - WTF? Weird video

Chase Daniels has such a great upside. He knows the offense & SP can design a game plan that works to CDs strengths.

I love it thats great for Chase !!! and for the Saints !!!

I'm all for that!Chase will get good if he's able to stick around (while progressing)awhile.
