So, while it's in a way sad to see him cut, I'm glad he is going to have the opportunity to fight for a starting job at another team.

Hokie said he was told by the Saints front office that the reason DLP was more valuable to them was because DLP could play all 3 interior spots, while Tennant could only play center.

They weren't diasppointed in his play at Center as much as his lack of being able to play LG or RG.
