Yeah, Broughton looks really good on paper and on the limited collegiate tape that's available of him, but I guess he just didn't fit into what the Saints were looking to do on defense or he f'ed up somehow like Danno suggested.

They might end up re-signing him later on... wouldn't be the first time that happened.

Must be someone out there they like & they are freeing up the room

Not surprising to have some casulties when you switch defensive philosophy. He won't be the last.

i do not like the move myself. i really wanted to see worked out as a 34 DE.

i am tired of cutting healthy players for players with IR issues that are also developmental. if he resurfaces else where in the nfl in the next two years as making an active roster i will be upset

He was an UDFA in 2012, scouts saw something they didn't like. Saints picked him up and gave him a year to see how he would develop. He made the practice squad last year so they have seen a fair bit of him on the practice field.

Logical assumption is that he did not develop as expected.

He wasn't a "Beast"

The Detroit Lions have been active on the waiver wire this off-season, and they added another player to their roster via that method Tuesday.

The Lions claimed defensive end Braylon Broughton off waivers from the New Orleans Saints.

Broughton spent last year on the Saints’ practice squad, after going undrafted out of TCU. He took a predraft visit to the Lions last spring.

Broughton will compete for a backup job and potentially a practice-squad spot with the Lions. Jason Jones, Willie Young, Ronnell Lewis and rookies Ziggy Ansah, Devin Taylor and Freddie Bishop are the other defensive ends on the roster.

Bishop also has practice-squad eligibility.

Earlier this off-season, the Lions added linebacker Cory Greenwood, defensive back De’Quan Menzie and offensive guard Derek Hardman off waivers.

he did not clear waivers lmao the saints i fear screwed the pooch here. I can look at the roster and come up with 5 players right off the bat i would have cut before him.

Scouts some where else see some thing worth working on enough to make wavier claims.

RT davebirkett: Braylon Broughton, claimed off waivers yesterday, failed his physical and was released by the Lions

Looks like maybe we didn't screw the pooch after all.
